We turn our attention back to the Battle of Jedha comes to a head for Vildar Mac, Matty Cathley, and Tey Sirrek as the Path of the Open Hand gets their hands on a dangerous weapon.
Our coverage of Phase 2 of The High Republic is not yet complete. In this episode, we turn our attention back to the comics. In Cavan Scott’s The High Republic, published by Marvel comics, Jedi Knight Vildar Mac and Padawan Matty Cathley are still engaged in the Battle of Jedha. As the Brotherhood of the Ninth Door and the Path of the Open Hand work behind the scenes to recover a mysterious Force artifact, the two Jedi and their friend Tey Sirrek, a former Guardian of the Whills, must move quickly to stop them. Secrets are revealed in these issues and they fit in nicely with the rest of the stories of Phase 2. So, join us as we take another look at Star Wars comics in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- How this comic series fits in with the rest of Phase 2 of The High Republic,
- Yana Ro’s presence and motivation in opposing the Herald,
- Vildar Mac’s past and how it influenced his actions in this series,
- Oliviah Zeveron’s role, or lack thereof, and healing trances in Star Wars,
- The Sith artifact known as the Hand of Siberius,
- Jedi Padawan Matty Cathley’s actions in the final issues of the series, and
- The final outcome of the Battle of Jedha for Vildar, Matty, and Tey.
You can find our discussion of issues 4-6 in episode 564.
