As a life long fan of Star Wars since the 80’s, this first comic kicking off a new era has got me hooked!I’ve been enjoying Star Wars for over 40 years through movies, books, video games and comics. I found this first issue to include everything I love about Star Wars. Action, comedy, drama, mystery, and hope. My only ‘complaint’ is that I want to know so much about these new characters NOW... but since the story has only just begun, I’ll just have to patiently wait for future installments in or...

VERY impressed! A strong start to a fresh world-building!

Star Wars: The High Republic shows us the period of the High Republic 200 years before the ents of The Phantom Menace! The Jedi are at their height and everything in the Republic is at peace! We are then introduced to Padawan Keeve Trennis who is completing her Jedi training under her master Sskeer! Keeve Trennis is epically earnest but her portrayl is excellently three-dimensional with all of her personality beign worn on her sleeve! At the same time her master Sskeer is completely up to more t...

I usually don't review single issued comics because the plot is usually episodic and relies heavily on the followup issues to make a complete story, but I found this first issue all right.The artwork is fantastic, outside of that, the story is just a day-in-the-life of a Jedi Padawan. Or more likely, an hour in this case If this were a book, this would easily be like the first 3 chapters of a novel. The ending was pretty weird. I'm assuming the dude at the end had a Force vision or something. Th...

And here I thought Marvel could do no wrong, they've been knocking it out the park with Star Wars since 2014.Now we have this, it's kind of dull and boring. You get a lot of action pieces but as they don't bother building up any of the characters, you don't really care what is happening to them. There is an annoying bug and people babbling on about leading something, without giving any indication what it actually means or what it is. I'm a pretty big Star Wars fan and for something to be this co...

LOVE where this is headingThis works so well with Light of the Jedi... it was AMAZING having the comic to get a better view of some of the characters we’ve already met.

“Whenever you feel alone… whenever darkness closes in… hear our signal and know that the Force is with you. Know that we are with you. This is our promise. This is our covenant. For light and life...” I quite liked this little story. First of all, The High Republic era has me down-right obsessed right now and I've found that I do like pretty much anything written in that time period. It's just so unique and different that I can't help myself.With a typical Jedi/adventure story. Plenty

It's a special feeling to dive into a completely new era of Star Wars, and this short comic has successfully gotten my attention. Not too thrilled over the four week wait for the next issue tho...

This was very interesting and I'm excited to see what happens in the new age of the Star Wars canon.Kanrii was adorable and I love him.Keeve is an interesting character and I'm excited to follow her through her future adventures.

A great comic with lots of action and some quiet moments in between! I loved the mixture of the pastel world Shuraden and the bright, opaque Starlight Beacon. Keeve Trannis and Sskeer are an absolute pleasure. However, this comic spoils a few things from Light of the Jedi, so I recommend reading the novel first to understand all the references! I've also written a full spoiler review in German for Jedi-Bibliothek which you can read here: https://jedi-bibliothek.de/2021/01/ma...

CuriousCompass Reviews: 3 starsCute. Not the best, but a decent intro/prologue to a larger story, for sure. Loved the cute pixie aliens, loved the hot one-armed reptilian Jedi Master. (Henceforth he shall be known as Lizard Daddy.) And I guess I liked our hero enough, although she felt like "Generic Spunky Girl Protagonist #3010" I typically like that character archetype anyways.I liked it enough to check out the next couple issues!

I actually didnt mind this. Yeh theres no actual story but I feel like it just gave us the overview of the characters. The plot will come within the next few issues ( I hope). Its pure disney all over. Clean characters, fun pop looking characters, light hearted humour. Yeh its not perfect but its given us star wars fans hopefully a new direction and canon material

disney was like, “guys look our first non binary characters in star wars, ok gay people buy stuff from us now :)” then created literally THE worst representation possible lmaooo

All the High Republic stuff is living up to the hype so far. I loved this and I can't wait for the next chapter.

It was such a good introduction for the new characters, I also loved the illustrations.

The High Republic has been coming for a while now, teased with some amazing artwork and brief glimpses of the story, this new age for the Star Wars universe has been one of the more anticipated parts of the franchise for a while now, and this month it finally arrives. As well as Light of the Jedi, a new prose novel by Charles Soule, readers also get to step into this new era in comics too, with Star Wars: The high Republic #1, written by Cavan Scott.This first issue introduces new readers to the...

3.5 stars.Ok, sorry if this is a bit ranty (and maybe a little schizophrenic, since I have mixed feelings (to say the least) about this franchise right now.)This comic was fine. It introduced some characters, and started to set up a sort of story. It was interesting enough for me to put on my pull list for now. (Sounds like this is a multi-platform initiative, like they've tried in the past.)But when it came to a star-rating I wasn't sure whether to rate it up or down... I CERTAINLY enjoy them t...

This is a really strong start to a new line of comics. The characters are really fun, likable, and have beautiful designs. Ario Anindito really goes all out with artwork.The only thing I'm wondering is how good it is as an introduction to the High Republic. I'm currently halfway through Soule's novel, Light of the Jedi. So I've been introduced to some of these characters through the novel. It was hard to separate out my previous knowledge and look at the comic on its own.Still, this is a solid o...

First, a movie review: “Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker” was an exciting and satisfactory conclusion to the nine-film Star Wars ennead, a series now referred to as the Skywalker Saga. I thought it was a brilliant idea to bring back Emperor Palpatine, as I felt that it tied the entire series together. Was the film flawed? Yes, but it was always going to be disappointing to a hard-core group of fans. Things I loved about it, others would hate, and vice versa. J.J. Abrams had an almost impossible...

Heard good things about this series and I'll continue to read, but as a first issue to try and hook people, it felt very flat. There aren't really hints of the state of this Pre-prequel world and no indication about what the major threat this world is facing (just a cliche comic cliffhanger at the end)Felt like an incomplete World building job, I know it only 22 pages, but there has to be some sort of hookI guess this series will be a test to see if a reader likes the Star Wars universe or if th...
