I just...don't know about these Dark Side plants.
On the farming planet of Sedri Minor, an ancient evil life form called the Drengir has steadily been growing. Its use of the Dark Side of the Force has called Jedi master Sskeer to the planet. His initiate, Keeve, stumbles upon Drengir’s lair, where the creature has been kidnapping farmers for food. Master Sskeer is under the mind control of the creature.Big green plant-monsters proliferate plentifully in this, the third issue of the Star Wars: High Republic comic book series. I am enjoying this...
Really love how this story is developing. Lots of character growth happening.
Book Rating: 8/10With each issue, this comic book series gets better and better. The art in this book is so beautiful and the story is really interesting. The characters are all great and well crafted. I'm happy to see the Drengir again as they're proving to be a reap threat unlike The Nilhil. I can't wait for the next issue.
3.75 stars. “There is no essscape… the harvessst will be bountiful. The harvessst will be pure.” There is nothing better than a strange planet where the dark side is running rampant when things are already a bit on the alarming side. This was, naturally, incredibly fun and slightly more enlightening than the previous issues had been. Sskeer is one of my favorite aspects of this particular part of the story for all that he represents as a Trandoshan Jedi and the trauma that he went
What in the world am I reading? I don't like any of these characters, lol, none of them. This little kid Bartol seems to know more about the Jedi than Keeve. And are these Hydra-like Swamp thing monsters supposed to be scary of something? I love Star Wars and I'm a big fan of all the KOTOR Dark Horse stuff and because I liked the early core Star Wars/Vader stuff I read when Marvel took over in the beginning I assumed High Republic would be good as well but it's one of those cases where I wish I
This installment in Cavan Scott's ongoing high republic series was very good. As the issues release they have consistently gotten better and better, with this one being the best so far. I'm still not a fan of Keeve Trennis's internal monologues and that takes away from my enjoyment of her character- but in this one the extent of that lost enjoyment isn't quite as much, and there was even a moment where I thought the monologuing was framed well- actually used to convey information that couldn't h...
It was really good and I LOVED when Avar came and helped them at the end!
I'm really enjoying the creeping sense of doom and horror in this comic.The introduction of the Drengir, a species of sentient, carnivorous plants, provides a threat unlike anything we've ever seen in Star Wars before (although, I'm sure if I scoured Wookiepedia I'd find that the Drengir aren't the first sentient, carnivorous plants in the Star Wars universe). They seem to have some kind of connection with the Dark Side of the Force and an ability to possess Jedi. It's creepy stuff.I'm currently...
This issue is both fantastic and slightly horrifying. The Bacta storyline is taking a step back to shine light on the immanent danger of the Drengir, and the shift from action to horror elements is executed nicely. The new side characters aren't particularly interesing and only appear to fulfill their role as informants but that doesn't change the fact that this issue is extremely exciting and makes me want to know more!Read my German spoiler review here: https://jedi-bibliothek.de/2021/03/ma......
This comic was ok. In this issue we meet the Drengir which made their debut in the Claudia Grey YA novel, Into the Dark. The real issue I have is the with this new pronoun thing going on with some of the characters. The twin Jedi characters are each referred to as a they. It’s confusing because these twins have a telepathic connection and each one is referred to in the plural... this is the nonsense that makes me not enjoy current Star Wars material.
NICE!This series is incredible, with all the awesomeness of the first two issues now we get horror elements to the story (i'm not a fan of horror but but i like how they implemented it in the story). A mysterious planet with a mysterious threat linked to the dark side, oh boy!Sskeer is still the one character in this new era that i really like, but Trennis is growing on me. She's super cool, strong and intenligent. I also like her hair style.Overall, superb series so far, each issue better than
Okay, I am done. Three issues in and this series has yet to rise above "bleh". I hope the High Republic books are better than the comic series.
It's Coming TogetherHere we have Issue # 3 by Cavan Scott and he is holding true to his method of story over agenda. The plot thickens as we explore this new world searching for a missing companion. Keeve has joined Sskeer and brought along Avar Kriss. The pieces are on the board and the game begins. The author does not disappoint, shoring up a few concerns from the previous issue while inspiring some fan theory at the same time. We're off and running and I hope the author keeps it up.
If you have been thirsting for a comic that is the intersection of horror and Star Wars, the current plotline in Star Wars: The High Republic is exactly that. Sure, we’ve seen allusions to horror in the past, but there is something downright terrifying about Terec’s worsening condition. Paired with stories about missing children among cornfield-like fauna (Vratixian Barley), the ominous feelings are all there. READ MORE: https://yourmoneygeek.com/review-star...

”It’s not supposed to be like this. I’m a Jedi Knight. I’m supposed to help. I’m supposed to know what to do. And yet I’m out here standing guard while my former Master loses his mind…”Another wonderful issue! Ceret has gone mysteriously missing, and the rest of the Jedi, including Masters Sskeer and Avar Kriss, and Knights Keeve and Terec, are doing their best to find their friend, and investigate the dark, terrifying threat that is lurking on Sedris Minor.I'm loving the direction this story is...
Now this is a 5 star issue. We see a dark mental battle with the dark side occuring here with our new Jedi protagonists and how some of them are stronger than others. I wonder if this lack of strength is from not having to normally face the dark side in this way? And the new enemy introduced while perhaps not being a large overall threat is in no way weak or uninteresting. This is only issue 3 and the plot is getting sufficiently thick!
I don’t care about these weird twins and you can’t make me!
Another dive into the practices of the High Republic by the one and only Cavan Scott. Heroism, insight, and darkness. I don't know how we are supposed to wait for the next one after this...
Its still way too meh for my taste.Its not insulting, dumb or anything, its just... dunno, the characters are boring and the story, so far, feels like a fan fiction. I know its Star Wars, but it doesnt feel like it.
