The final adult novel of phase one of The High Republic comes with large consequences that will reshape the High Republic era. We discuss Claudia Gray’s novel in this episode.
A little over a year ago, Charle Soule’s novel, Light of the Jedi, debuted and introduced Star Wars fans to the era of the High Republic. Now, a year later, Claudia Gray completes the first phase of The High Republic with The Fallen Star. Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil, unleashes his most impressive attack yet on the Jedi and the Republic with an attack on Starlight Beacon that nobody saw coming. This is a novel with consequences. Who will survive Marchion’s attack? Who will die? And, how will the Jedi carry on in the aftermath? We discuss these questions and more in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The overall plot of The High Republic,
- Marchion’s plan to destroy Starlight Beacon and his presence in this novel,
- The Jedi that perished in this novel,
- Elzar Mann’s journey throughout this book,
- Bell Zettifar’s role in The Fallen Star,
- How Stellan Gios performed in the book,
- The crew of the Vessel (Affie, Leox, and Geode), and
- How the Jedi (particularly Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann) move forward after this.
