Everything I LOVE About The High Republic Phase One 

I forgot to mention Ember and Ty Yorrick and for that I am ashamed.

I love the audiobooks, especially for the main novels. Marc Thompson has really elevated the era for me. Having a distinct voice to apply to each and every character helps the whole era feel more genuine and alive.

Just seen this! Thank you! What a lovely tribute!

The High Republic might just be my favorite Star Wars era, and I can't wait to see it develop more and more.

The arcs of Marchion, Elzar and Bell were the highlights for me. Seeing Marchion from underdog pressured to fullfil a goal he inherited to overconfident ruler who only cares for himself even if he doesn’t realize it, was very unique. Elzar and Bell’s struggles were also very relatable and encouraging.

Lucasfilm needs to get Claudia Gray and/ or Charles Soule into the writing room of a show or movie. Those two have been consistently writing the best Star Wars stories in canon

I love how THR humanizes the Jedi and how much weight that adds to their tragedy and triumph. This era has had far more highs than lows for me. Honestly some of my favorite content since the acquisition.

Is it bad that throughout Rising Storm I was more worried about Ember than I was about Bell?

I clicked on this and then realized I’ll have to come back to it once I’ve read the last issues of THR, THRA, and Eye of the Storm. I love the High Republic. It’s brought me a lot of joy over this past year.

Idk how to say this Alex but love your channel. I know it’s not the only positive Star Wars channel but I feel like I can come here and celebrate what we love with others.

I still will never forget the night I finished the Rising Storm and having that last scene in my head when trying to sleep.

I went all in on the High Republic and I'm soo happy I did. All of the comics and books. I find it very exciting to be in at the ground level of a new time in the Star Wars universe. I do feel the struggle with all of the varient covers. As far as the books go I was lucky enough to be able to get all three of the Out of Print signed editions. The art work for those is just amazing. Can't wait for more!

I loved phase one of the high republic, looking forward to seeing some live action series

Loden's end was a total shocker. I haven't read any further in the series yet, but I can't wait to see how Bel handles this tragic turn of events.

Stellan Gios, Reath Silas & Marchion Ro are easily my new favorite Star Wars characters. These books have revived my interest in the brand after being so dissapointed by most movies and tv shows the past year.

Alex thinks he can just casually mention that he plays a sentient oven in D&D and just move past that

I'm glad I discovered your channel recently, someone I should have been watching for years. You've become a channel where I just have to watch every new video as it comes out.

I love this celebration of Phase One so much! These stories and characters have become some of my favorites and I can't wait to see how it all plays out!

Yeah, it’s been so good. Thanks for this Alex. I also liked the way that the Marchioness comic went beyond Fallen Star.

Dude I just started getting into these, so far mainly the comics but as soon as I saw geode I was like hell yeah man this reminds me of how wacky st can be

Can't wait for Phase 3

Totally in love with this new era and excited for phase II. We are all the Republic!

The Sentient rock was funny

Two of my favourite things you didn't mention: 1) The High Republic does more for representation in terms of race, gender and sexualities than anything else in star wars has ever done. 2) Ty Yorrick is the latest version of my favourite Star wars archetype in that she is the effortlessly cool, initially antagonistic lady that is forced to team up with the good guys and proves she can be just as heroic if she needs to be. With that she's stepping in the footsteps of characters like Nightsister Merrin, Resistance's Synara and last but certainly not least Mara Jade.

I love absoluteley everything about The High Republic. The characters, locations, species and Legends references. It's one of the best things from Star Wars to ever come out ever in my opinion. I'm excited for Phase 2, though I'm a bit skeptical, but it will be great. Btw: My favourite character is Dr. Uttersond.

I loved the Republic Fair. You could really feel the hope, beauty and majesty of the event and the floating islands. It was devastating for that to be destroyed the way it was, and I can't get the image of Stellan holding a broken Chancelor Soh out of my head.

So...is Geode a weeping angel? Neither move if you're looking at them.

I 110 percent agree with everything you talked about!

Cool segment.

I seen this video before reading the books I knew what was going to happen but still enjoy the heck out of it I think that goes to show how good these books are

"For force sake" is now the best thing i have heard this week and i am gonna shamelessly adopt that saying

If I were you, I'd call the video: Why I love everything about The High Republic

Been loving the high can't wait for phase 2

Also I really enjoyed the jeddha comics arc. The return of the sorcerers of tund, the fallanasi pretty interesting main character with Vildar I enjoyed the hell out of it

Really enjoyed this first phase of The High Republic

The fact that yaddle speaks normally shows that yoda could just be messing for hundreds of years that would just be hilarious

Gosh I reeeeeally wish more people in my life would pick up a book! 😆 I LOVE these books and comics and they're my favorite part of Star Wars overall, I liked Star Wars before but when High Republic came out one by one I fell further in love with Star Wars! Now I've read every book, every comic, and watched everything star wars thanks to how much the High Republic made me love the world of Star Wars 🤩 I'm also 25 fanboying about Star Wars in 2022 😂 my dad is like yup been there, done that 😂

The high republic is one of the new things I like about the new cannon because I think it works best when we are not dealing with things after the original trilogy I think the new cannon works best with unexplored territory

Hey, I got my ticket for Star Wars Celebration, and I'm super excited. But I've never been to a con of any kind, and will be going by myself. I'm not sure how to plan for it or how to get involved in the activites. Do you have any suggestions?

1:53 lol, still funny, laugh every time I see it XD

Thanks, Alex! 🌆

Geode was one of my favorite parts of Falling Star.

Geode rocks. I’ll see myself out now.

Loved the High Republic series though as a UK fan was very disappointed that we didn't get any alternative art covers. As with seemingly all Star Wars media the US gets it all.

I love the high republic and I think everything Daniel Jose Older has done is the best of the series. And I think I might be the only person who dislikes Geode *runs away*

Alex, what are the time periods for each of the phases for The High Republic? If Phase 1 is 200 years BBY, Phase 2 is 350 years BBY, is Phase 3 going to be 50 years BBY? Are they releasing it like they did with the Skywalker Saga?

I’m not gonna lie I have loved everything that I’ve listened to in The high republic era but the fallen star was pretty dang rough for me. I openly cried with me lost Barryaga. I misspelled it I know but I’ve just heard how it’s pronounced not how it’s written so I apologize. And geode is quickly becoming my favorite character just because I like the idea of A character who appears to be a rock on the surface but as far more than that. I can relate to it on a personal level because even though my eyes don’t work it’s more about what is inside rather than what’s on the outside.

It was interesting.

I have no idea why many people hate this..

One thing I'm a little confused by because I've only read the 3 main novels. Are the Nameless the same as the Leveler?

Cool review, but what does "ship" mean?

Team Geode!! I am really enjoying your everything I loved videos, thanks.

What about the high republic manga

i love kantam

Trolling everyone I was

If the drengr was at starlight beacon and starlight fall at that planet, they are free now?

Old Republic is definitely better but High Republic could shape up to be adequate if the Alcolyte is good.

I just realized something where are the republic troopers? I know the republic didn’t have a standing army at that time but you think they had sort of militia.

but seriously, why do they keep killing off the best characters?

First

I'm pretty much still on the fence about what I've seen so far from the High Republic. I think the biggest problem for me is that there are too many characters jostling for main position, so any focus/development gets spread too thin for me to start caring enough about one. Additionally, as someone who actually likes the concept of Silicon based lifeforms (and also an adamant defendant of the Iron Knights) I honestly find Geode pretty lazy, both as a joke and concept. He's basically one of the Ogri from Dr Who (minus the blood sucking) that moves around like a Weeping Angel. He doesn't display any personality, so requires others to do so for our benefit. Other then that he's just utilized as a convenient Deus ex Machina occasionally. Overall I can't say I find anything offensively bad that I won't loose sleep over. It's certainly better thought out then the mess Disney made of the Sequels, but it still hasn't quite engaged me yet.

Now do a Everything You HATE about the High Republic Phase One

- [ ] Its time to get right with Jesus. nobody is automatically gonna go to heaven at the end of it, we all have lied or stolen or had sex before marriage and the punishment is hell. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of future sins if you repent of them if you commit them, so you receive the gift of forgiveness by following him. When you start you have to stop sinning, and follow his word and obey it. That’s following the Lord Jesus. Read the Bible and find wisdom
