2022 has been a pretty eventful year for The High Republic, even if it only released across 6 of the 12 months. 2022 started with the finale to Phase I that saw Starlight Beacon fallen and story left on a cliffhanger and the year ended with the beginning of Phase II, the 150 years extra blast to the past for extra context to the era’s story. The High Republic Show and the affable Krystina Arielle have been there for us through the big moments and the quiet in-betweens, feeding us many feasts of content and now they have one last holiday gift for us with this year end show! There’s a peak behind Dark Horse’s content, author discussions, and the requisite reveals, Character Encyclopedia anyone!?, but I’ve also included some other recent news, like another author roundtable and previews galore. Head below for the High Republic year end extravaganza before we return early 2023 with our The Battle of Jedha review!

First Excerpt, Plus Cast Reveal, from The High Republic – The Battle of Jedha Audiobook!
While Phase II: Quest of the Jedi might be shorter than the opening Phase, it still has its big tentpole moments and the upcoming audiobook The Battle of Jedha, written by George Mann and performed by a full cast, is the Phase’s linchpin moment. If you’ve been reading any of the Phase II content so far, it’s clear how everything has been building to Jedha so far, and now we’re getting our first peak at how the audiobook is converging characters and storylines for the big moment.

Jedi: Survivor Gameplay Trailer Revealed
Thanks to this year’s The Game Awards, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor received its first gameplay trailer, giving us our first look at how the sequel will build off the previous entry’s sold underpinnings while taking advantage of current-gen technology. I’m already bracing for the lack of stealth options and inability to not kill poor, innocent creatures, but everything else I’m seeing in this trailer looks like a beautiful expansion on Fallen Order’s strengths, which Survivor is set 5 years after (at around the same time as Obi-Wan Kenobi). Out March 17, only a week after its prequel novel on April 28 now, a month after Battle Scars, Jedi: Survivor will hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Head below for screenshots from the trailer (Cere Junda’s look new look, Cal’s new pal Brode) and pre-order bonuses (leaked and not leaked)!

Final The Bad Batch Season Two Trailer Arrives
With less than a month until its premiere, season two of The Bad Batch got its final trailer. While it contains quite a few things we’ve seen in Celebration Anaheim trailer (more Gungi is never a bad thing!!), it offers some new scenes with Commander Cody, Crosshair, Bail Organa, new characters, and hints at many of the adventures the team will go on in its second season, though it makes it clear not even a slight delay lead to them even considering fixing the whitewashing concerns fans have been so vocal about. The 16-episode season premieres with two episodes on January 4, 2023, and will close out on a two-part finale on March 29. Find the full episode title list, new poster, and some images below the cut!

With The High Republic’s Phase II beginning just this week with the release of Path of Deceit, the opening YA novel by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland (and our reviews you can read here!), the New York Comic Con panel easily could’ve been simply covers for some of the remaining Phase II content and fans (me!) would’ve been happy.
