Star wars high republic 34/30/2024 ![]() Are the Jedi taking back the Ataraxia to stop Lourna or because they want to take it back for their own purposes? Keeve doesn’t care to respond to such questions, jumping out of her Vector the moment the Gios has the stolen ship in its tractor beam and cuts her way into the Ataraxia, making quick work of Lourna’s droid guards. When Terec accidentally reveals the Ataraxia has a Path drive, the only way through the Nihil’s Stormwall currently, Republic Commander Jahen becomes concerned over Keeve’s focus. But while the Republic and the Jedi are already allies, they aren’t exactly on the same page, which becomes increasingly clear as the effort to stop Lourna continues. With Skarabda’s crushing of the Nihil envoy and Lourna Dee’s betrayal of her, the Hutts and the Republic enjoy a temporary truce, chasing after Lourna as she makes her getaway in the stolen Jedi ship, the Ataraxia. What will happen to take this Jedi Master, who has come so far despite not totally believing in herself, to become disillusioned with the Order? Their response to Sskeer? To her actions in saving him/the struggles ahead with the Nameless? Yoda is potentially involved, according to Scott’s Yoda #10, but how? In the end, this knowledge hangs over every rousing moment for Keeve in the name of the Jedi, so I do my best to celebrate her successes before she goes through the ringer. While this issue doesn’t see her confront or find her old Master yet, will the progress she’s made be helpful or will it come undone a bit before she taps back into it, stronger again, to save her friend? It’s not gone swimmingly for her these first three issues, yet it’s not been too much of a struggle, so you know it’s coming, yet with her strength of will and resolve, it seems insane to think she’ll become one of the Order’s Lost. Scott also uses parallels to show Keeve’s growth as well, which combined with these windows into the past, her progress is nothing short of remarkable, leaving me hooting and hollering how much everyone needs to respect her name. ![]() I’m enjoying the little flashbacks we’re getting of a younger Keeve and Sskeer, prior to the events of The High Republic – Phase I series, not only because they offer a glimpse into happier times for the two, but how writer Cavan Scott uses these moments to show how far Keeve has come and/or how much she’s learned about being the Jedi Master she is today because of Sskeer’s teachings. Lourna Dee on the run and news of Sskeer’s potential survival pull at Jedi Master Keeve Trennis’ priorities…which will she choose?! Find out in my review of the exhilarating The High Republic #3 – Phase III!
