Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi and her fellow Jedi confront a Drengir mystery and defend themselves against the Nihil in the latest entry in the The High Republic: Edge of Balance manga series.
We are returning to The High Republic to discuss the latest entry in the Edge of Balance manga series. Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi remained on Banchii after the Nihil established the Stormwall and the Jedi Order recalled all Jedi to Coruscant under the Guardian Protocols. Now, as the Jedi and the Republic find new ways to combat the Nihil and Marchion Ro, the Jedi are beginning to return to Banchii. However, not all is well. A former adversary believed to be dormant emerges. In addition, as a nearby moon moves behind the Stormwall, the threat of the Nihil attacking Banchii increases. Lily and her Jedi allies must prepare for another fight against the Nihil in volume three of Edge of Balance.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
