It’s been just over two months since the last The High Republic Show and a little over a month since Phase I wrapped up its story, so it’s been quiet in the era of The High Republic for fans (unless those rumors of a live-action TV show are true…), but even this newest batch of details and interviews is enough to breathe life back into the discussion ahead of Star Wars Celebration and likely a lot of news there. In the latest show, host Krystina Arielle sums up the finale to Phase I, talks with the new authors joining the project, interviews with some creatives about the finale, and some scant and surprising details about Phase II!

The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!
With the first Phase of The High Republic nearly at an end, the final comic issues dropping March, the latest The High Republic Show was focused more on how we got here, Krystina Arielle’s cool new digs and fan-made costume, and discussing much of what’s transpired since The Fallen Star‘s release in January, plus a suggestion on which piece to read to finish Phase I, Wave III. There were some reveals for Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, like who’s writing what, from Zoraida Córdova kicking off the new story with the adult novel and Claudia Gray behind a comic book, as well as a much requested and really exciting Art of The High Republic book, but it was focused mainly on the journey so far and teases of the future (5 or so years total in story) and I think it was well-deserved considering how fandom has accepted the initiative since its launch, though it also mentioned something fandom has been rallying against for sometime. Head on for the lowdown! Continue reading “The High Republic Show: Phase II Novels, Comics, Art Book Announced, And More!”
Novel Review: From a Certain Point of View – The Empire Strikes Back
The idea for the original From a Certain Point of View garnered tons of attention for its nearly endless possibilities to reshape such classic films, giving them new life even 40 years after their debut. Thankfully it seems to be a tradition, at least for now since the prequels won’t have the opportunity for another 20 years (and let’s not even talk about how old I’d be when the sequels would hit the milestone…), to take the original trilogy films and retell them from new, interesting, and unexpected points of view, which brings us to From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back. Stronger across the board in its stories, with more consistently engaging tales and original or surprising points of view, and a far more coherent structure from one tale to next, From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back does not fall short of its source material, doing it justice by being such a great and memorable sequel.

Canon Young Adult Novel Review: A Crash of Fate
– Spoiler Review –
A Crash of Fate is a young adult novel written by Zoraida Córdova as part of the Galaxy’s Edge tie-in program, taking place primarily at the park’s in-universe location, following two old friends who cross paths again in a romantic and danger filled day-long adventure. The romance is never too heavy handed, the adventure that weaves them across Black Spire Outpost is engaging and fun, and the characters are relatable, but sometimes the park aspect gets a little too on the nose, though overall it results in an enjoyable and unique little tale.

Galaxy’s Edge Publishing Programming Gives all Fans a Chance to Visit
As exciting as the idea of a fully immersive Star Wars theme park is, the stark reality is not everyone will get a chance to visit one, for a wide variety of reasons, so thankfully there is plenty of tie-in material coming for those who can’t or won’t ever go. But these new titles also benefit those who can visit the parks, enriching the new world and experience. Beyond the already introduced comic miniseries, Galaxy’s Edge, a few new novels were announced today: Black Spire, by Delilah S. Dawson (so glad she’s back!!); A Crash of Fate, by Zoraida Córdova; Myth & Fables, written by George Mann, illustrations by Grant Griffin. Head below for all the details and an excerpt from Myth & Fables! Continue reading “Galaxy’s Edge Publishing Programming Gives all Fans a Chance to Visit”
