Kicking off 2023’s The High Republic Phase II content is none other than George Mann’s audio drama The Battle of Jedha, performed by a full cast. Set after the events of Convergence, the audio drama finds Jedha the center of a major peace treaty, though the forces conspiring against peace and the Jedi in the galaxy turn events on their head. With some excellent performances across the cast, great messages for our world and the characters in the story, and a solid pace, The Battle of Jedha makes for a memorable experience in Phase II, though it runs into some issues I have with audio productions while also ends up feeling more like a stepping stone rather than a destination event.

The easy chemistry between the two leads, great art, and promise of tragedy and action will leave readers anxious for more. Continue reading “Canon Comic Review: The High Republic – The Blade #1”

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.
