– Spoiler Reviews –

With delays disrupting the surety of when we’d see the ending to The High Republic Adventures – Phase II, Dark Horse rallied the troops and set the final three issues to release all on the same day. This was quickly dubbed “The High Republic Adventures Day,” and rightfully so, and now said day is finally upon us! As far as endings go, these last three issues take the series long dominos and bring them crashing down in emotional and exciting fashion, all while adding a few more in there for good measure, letting both its characters and its readers experience important messages they can take with them and use in their lives ahead.

Day Three of Star Wars Celebration Europe 2023 had two different publishing focused panels, starting with a full one just for Dark Horse‘s contributions and later one for Lucasfilm Publishing‘s own works, though both were a little light on announcements. Dark Horse focused on Jaxxon, as their upcoming Annual stars the hare-brained scoundrel (and writer Cavan Scott promised there will be more), and some upcoming The High Republic Adventures teases for Phase II and Phase III. Lucasfilm Publishing spent time revealing new pages from upcoming reference titles, announcing a new one all about Wookiees (!!), and of course more The High Republic content as well. Head below for the sneak peaks!

Canon Comic Review: The High Republic Adventures #1 – Phase II

Of the many highlights from the first Phase of The High Republic initiative was the story Daniel José Older cooked up in his IDW comics series, The High Republic Adventures, which centered around Padawans and a smaller scaled story of their connections and struggles throughout the Drengir and Nihil conflicts. Older returns with The High Republic Adventures – Phase II via Dark Horse and the same pedigree is already present, this time introducing us to a younger incarnation of Phase I character Sav Malagán and her own struggles with being part of the Jedi Order. Energetic, engaging, and grounded in Sav’s character development, The High Republic Adventures #1 – Phase II seems to promise, despite the shorter run, something as memorable as the first.
