With phase three of The High Republic arriving in the near future, we discuss a story that transcends both phase one and two featuring wookiee Jedi Knight Arkoff.
Phase three of The High Republic arrives soon. In recognition of this, we circle back to a piece of The High Republic content we missed from phase two. We are discussing Edge of Balance: Precedent by Daniel Jose Older and Tomio Ogata in this episode. This story transcends the events of both phases one and two. Unlike the prior entries in this manga, this story does not feature Lily Tora-Asi, and instead features her master, the wookiee Arkoff. Arkoff finds himself confronting the Path of the Open Hand in the past and then the Nihil in the present. The secret to defeating the Nameless may hang in the balance.
In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Where in the timeline of The High Reublic this story occurs,
- The story’s protagonist, wookiee Jedi Arkoff, and how he differs from Burryaga,
- The villain of the story, the Harch named Vol Garat,
- How this story potentially figures into the Jedi’s fight against the Nameless and the Nihil in Phase 3 of The High Republic, and
- Jedi Knight Azlin’s fate.
