The internal monologuing is still obnoxious (during the first half, in particular), but there's much less of it in this installment than it was in the opening issue. In addition, the plot has thickened and I am much more excited for issue #3 than I was for this one at the end of Issue #1. The mystery behind Sskeer's unraveling is getting more intriguing and a pair of fun new characters were introduced. Avar Kriss was more interesting here as well. Overall, a big improvement over issue #1 and eve...

As a world-building project, The High Republic is 💯. Really rewarding to see characters and characters cross.

So boring and not one of these characters is compelling in any way. If given the choice between watching only the Jar Jar Binks scenes from The Phantom Menace 100 times in a row or reading this book one more time, Mee sa think it’s Binks all day everyday! If you liked it, that’s cool and I’m not going to tell you what to like. I too really wanted to like this series, but sadly I just don’t.

Wow. This issue was a lot better than the last one, which felt more like a generic Saturday morning cartoon. This issue actually gets to the plot and the tone shifts dramatically from a lighthearted typical Disney stuff to some full-blown violence and mental trauma that I didn't expect going in.In a way, the tonal shift feels kind of inconsistent and I hate the fact that the plot actually begins in this issue and not in the first one. The first issue is just a prologue (which honestly, even if y...

This issue was better than the last one. At least there was a creepy tentacle in a corn field. I think the problem is that Disney doesn’t get the religion & myth that fueled Star Wars. So far this is just stuff that happens to characters I want to care about but don’t.Actually, I just realized that this series feels more like Deep Space Nine than Star Wars. Big round space station, mostly all new characters with one or two oldie, but goodies (ok, just Yoda) showing up, not much happens. Remember...

“Master Sskeer, we must never demonize our enemies, no matter what atrocities they have committed in the past. They are still living beings.” This is a nice change from the pace of the first issue. While the first one didn't have any issues this one definitely felt less generic and like filling and it starts to develop a more distinctive and darker style as well as flesh out the plot and it all seems like it's gonna be one heck of a ride. Trennis is a character I'm liking more and mor

I really liked that that they got Master Sskeer suffering from PTSD after the events of Light of the Jedi and I really loved the illustrations, Even though It was 22 pages I really really enjoyed reading it and seeing my favourite character! I'm very excited to read the next issue!

Having read Light of the Jedi and now the first two comics in this series I am fascinated with this new era of the Jedi they are setting up. I am loving the characters and the storyline with the Nihil so much. I can’t wait to see where they take this!

This did a good job at washing the bad taste of "Test of Courage" out of my mouth, nicely back on the path of the lightside of the High Republic. I can't tell you how overjoyed I am that they've got a good artist, Ario Anindito, on this book. A flagship title like this shouldn't be dragged down with mediocre art, like the main Star Wars Marvel title has on and off, and this doesn't disappoint with its vivid and dynamic art.

Well, this is good!And, well, I'm not sure that I have a lot to say about it other that that. I'm not only still getting to know these characters but still getting to know the setting.I initially though that Terec and Ceret might be annoying, but their unique bond was actually handled very well and I'm curious to...hopefully...see more of them.It's clear at this point that Skeer is very badly damaged and that things are going to go very badly for him, and his newly knighted apprentice Keeve Tren...

I was sooooooo bored in issue 1, but like most things in life, I'm glad I tried issue 2 Anyone that lives by the "first impressions are important" philosophy , these are the worst people (I'm looking at you mom, jk, youre the best)Anyways this is a fast read with good intrigue, and Scott is doing a good job of introducing foreign characters in an established universe. Hoping this series doesn't lose momentum and that my love of this issue isn't just a result of post May the 4th hangover

The newly titled Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis, Sskeer, and Kotabi bond-twins Crete and Terec come across a damaged ship in the Kazlin System that came under attack by the Nihil. Keeve, and the other Jedi, sense survivors among the wreckage and board the ship to rescue them. Sskeer seems deeply troubled by the bloody scene they discover and, as Crete explains, appears to be experiencing extreme trauma. Something that was alluded to at the close of the previous issue. (READ MORE: https://yourmoneygee...

”I’ve been on missions before. Dozens of misssions. There was only one difference back then. I was a padawan. Now I’m a Jedi Knight, and everyone will be watching. My old master will be watching. They’ll be expecting great things. But that’s fine. The Force is with me. I am one with the Force. Blah blah blah.”Keeve Trennis is on her first mission as a Jedi Knight. She is joined by her former master Sskeer and a very unique twin duo, Ceret and Terec, who pretty much share one brain together. They...

In issue #2 of The High Republic: newly-knighted Jedi Keeve Trennis, along with her master Jedi Skeer and Jedi twins Ceret and Terec, are on a mission to respond to a distress call in the Kazlin system; every inhabitant of the derelict ship has been murdered, but one lone Nihil warrior is left; Skeer kills the Nihil but it triggers a post-traumatic stress flashback; they discover the ship was transporting a special type of grain used in the manufacture of bacta, found on the planet Sedri Minor;

This was slightly better than the first issue. Still getting used to the characters.

Ookay...All right, so the previous issue introduced a good character in an interesting way. Despite Kathleen Kennedy and the Lucasfilm Story Group's agenda-driven style, story was placed ahead of "wokeness" and we got a good issue. Now we have the follow up and let's see if the trend has continued...Hmmm...So, the good news is that story still comes ahead of agenda. Now Jedi Knight Keeve Trennis is still herself; mannerisms and endearing characteristics are intact. She is on her first mission as...

It had me on the edge of my seatAs always beautiful illustrations, this issue's storyline complemented were we left off in the previous issue. The storyline was interesting, we met new characters and saw some familiar face. Also finally we some characters in illustration form. The great thing about comics you get to see this era coming to life.

Issue #2 of The High Republic once again neatly ties into the events we've gotten to know in Light of the Jedi while also managing to expand the story! Within only 20 pages, we get presented with a LOT of plot, interesting character dynamics and an exciting cliffhanger.Seeing some familiar faces we know from other stories was a nice surprise and the new characters Ceret and Teret, while not neccessarily being someone I could grow attached to, offer a lot of potential.The character work in this i...

I know that the High Republic was going to be going into unexplored reaches of the Star Wars universe, that readers would discover new worlds and darkness that we've not encountered before; but after the brightness of the first issue, the amount of grandeur and hope there seemed to be around the opening of the Starlight Beacon I wasn't expecting the very next issue to become a horror story.Following the knighting of Keeve Trennis in the last issue, and the official 'ribbon cutting' of Starlight

This is getting really good.Excelent second issue, i liked the first one but this one was way better. The plot keeps getting interestig and it's very nice to see characters from other stories. It seems they are gonna connect everything in this era (books and comics) and i can't wait to see how they manage.There're a couple of new characters introduced (Twins), i iked them. I wouldn't say "their thing" is original but i think they have potential. Sskeer is rapidly becaoming my favourite character...
