Phase I of The High Republic has provided our general managers with a wide berth of characters to create the ultimate team from this past year in Star Wars.

It’s hard to believe that it’s only been a year since the launch of The High Republic. We were floored by Light of the Jedi and overrun with excitement with the addition of comics and stories from a group of authors that kept us on the edge of our seat. Now we embark on the second phase of The High Republic with a leap back in time; 150 years to be precise and before the events of the Great Disaster. What path can we expect from the Jedi Masters of old? Will we finally get a glimpse of the story behind Porter Engle’s moniker the Blade of Bardotta? We’ll speculate and never write our thoughts down from fear of being wrong, but join us on this guessing game anyway.

Expanded editions, novelizations, and original stories help to build and elaborate on the films and TV shows we have come to know and love over the years.

Thrawn has emerged as a powerful commander amongst the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet albeit not the best in political situations.

In recent years, there has been a resurgence of Star Wars content outside of the theatrical films with new books, comics, TV shows, Disney+ additions, and social media posts. Keeping up with all the new Star Wars information can be daunting and burnout is a possibility for some people. Our hosts will discuss what we think Star Wars burnout is, how to avoid the feeling of having to consume everything, and provide examples of other hobbies that help us take a break from a galaxy far, far away.
