Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi is back as the Jedi in charge on the planet of Banchii as the Nihil launch a new round of attack in the Outer Rim.
The Jedi and the Republic believe the Nihil are nearly defeated as Avar Kriss pursues Lourna Dee, the alleged Eye of the Nihil. However, Marchion Ro, the true Eye of the Nihil, is about to unleash a new wave of Nihil attacks on the Outer Rim. On the planet of Banchii, Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi prepares the colonists for a potential attack while also supervising them as they repair their homes and prepare their crops. It is a stressful job. Is Lily up to the task? We discuss the latest Star Wars manga in The High Republic timeline in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The overall structure of this manga and whether it worked for us,
- The stress that Lily Tora-Asi finds herself under as she attempts to lead the colonists on Banchii,
- Lily’s trip to Starlight Beacon to learn the state of the galaxy and whether the storytelling there worked, and
- The Nihil attack on Banchii.
