In terms of Star Wars storytelling, 2021 started off with an engaging, mutli-layered, and exciting new era, one of its most ambitious publishing initiatives yet: The High Republic. Spreading across books, comics, and more, the era brought new heroes, dastardly and scary villains, and a plethora of new designs and concepts in the galaxy far, far away. For the comics side of things, Marvel unleashed The High Republic, a comic series following Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis and her Master Sskeer, as well as other notable Jedi of the era like Avar Kriss, as they dealt with the ravenous Drengir. To help writer Cavan Scott bring the horrors of the Drengir, the righteousness of Keeve and Kriss, Sskeer’s mysterious struggles, and epic-sized action to the pages of the comic, Marvel tapped Ario Anindito…and our eyeballs have never been the same, in the best way possible! This masterful artist has brought scary panels and tender moments to vivid, detailed life, so I reached out to him to understand how he does it, the pressures of building up a new era, and so much more.

In The High Republic #12, just when the Jedi and us readers think the greatest enemy to the Order in this era is from without, it feels more and more like it’s within, as the fallout from the undercover mission by Keeve Trennis and Terec goes far beyond the failure to capture Lourna Dee.
