The High Republic Phase One Recap 

Buying all the books and comics would be a very costly endeavour so I’m very happy you’re covering them. It’s good to have a general idea of what’s going on in this era

Stupid Sexy Geode. Also Orba Lin is my favorite character from a design perspective from the High Republic

Shrii ka rai ka rai We're coming to take you away Shrii ka rai ka rai We're coming to take you away They'll do what they can and they'll do what they must but when they find you all you'll be is dust.

"This Galaxy is mine!" - Marchion Ro.

Loved phase 1, and whilst it will kill me to have to wait to find out what happens next, I’m so excited for phase 2

As someone who loves THR but doesnt have the time to read every entry, this was a super helpful refresher!

The High Republic is the freshest take on SW we have had in a long time

Slight corrction. Midnight Horizon takes place on Corellia, not Coruscant.

This is exactly what I hoped for in order to prepare for phase 2! Thanks :))

Loved Light of the Jedi and Rising Storm, so far the adult novels have been pretty strong. Trail of Shadows is the best comic from this era

Great video

I’m loving the high republic. Phase 1 was amazing can’t wait for phase 2 and explore even farther into the past

3:20 lol 😈

Good job Alex! That was a great, concise summary of Phase 1.

A few days late but just finished off the complete order (minus short stories) with the eye of the storm comics. Great recap! I was thinking while watching this would be really difficult to pull all the important story points and put them in chronological order. Thank you for what you do!

So the Nihil control the Outer Rim and have cut off the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic. I wonder if they’ll debate over whether it’s worth continuing going to war with the Nihil since they only want the Outer Rim. Maybe this is when we see the rise of the megacorporations as they both push the Republic to continue the war against the Nihil while also providing the droid-power and resources to wage direct war against the raiders.

Excellent summary! Thanks!

god this is so helpful. been wanting a peek into the high Republic to see if it's for me

Im still working my way through wave 3, finish the fallen star and started yesterday Mission to Disaster. Will be great to watch when I finish the last remaining books and comics

Thanks for this - I didn't read many of the novels so far, so this helps me a whole lot.

I should not have watched this without finishing Fallen Star oops

Thank you for covering the story for us

I'm beyond excited

Say what you will about the High Republic novels, I absolutely loved Light of the Jedi and Into the Dark. Really looking forward to the game.

Love the High Republic.

Would you be able to make a reading order because I'm just getting into it now and I don't know what goes where

Woah, nice. I really have to get into the High Republic more, Light of the jedi and Rising Storm were amazing.

Excellent as usual, but one note |- you say coruscant instead of Corellia at 4:46

I tried to read light of the Jedi I didn’t find it very interesting in more of a visual Star Wars fan mostly on screen like movies and tv shows the only high republic thing im looking forward to is the acolyte I’ve been watching your channel for years now the q&as and great the Lego live streams are also great the after show live streams are great as are your regular videos

Watching this to get ready for phase 3. I loved phase 2, even more than phase 1, but I am very excited for more Marchion

Path of Deceit looks amazing

I mean, if you mentioned Geode. That would be all anyone could think about. A big rock with sick dance moves.

3:32 What type of Droid is that? 4:22 4:55 The Starlight Beacon can travel?

I wonder where the Mandalorians are in all of this?

I hope the high Republic leads into the prequels.

I think you need to know all this to get ready for Phase 3.

so many characters.

No mention of Bell?

ngl, I can't help but picture Elzar as the chef guy from Futurama...

Geode!!! 💪🪨 👍

4:45 I think you mean Corellia, Alex. 😅

I got lost in the chronology, can't afford to read books and comic's simultaneously

We don't want you to keep it brief ♥️

so why do people not like THR its pretty cool new starwars would love a animated series instead in the style of clonewars different arcs etc to explore the characters

I like the High Republic but how many weapons were there? It felt like Legends for a second

Phase 2 recap? :)

cover these stories more

I think the pic at 1:43 is fan art (Idk tho) but I'm literally dying to see someone use a light whip in live action or a proto saber with the cord and battery pack just wanna see some OLD designs like in the TRoS visual guide

4:45 I think you mean corellia

Geod is awsome

What is the underlying theme of the high republic?

I"m very much looking forward to Phase Two. I have a feeling that it will be even better than the first one. I still theorize that the spirit and influence of Darth Nihilus is at work here, through Dark Side and/or Sith alchemy.

Choose your side Light side or Dark side

I like to think that Star Wars repeats a trilogy pattern: one adult novel per wave times three; one movie trilogy, a second wave that takes place several years before as with the prelogy. A third wave that is a continuation of the first. And then a lot of things are added between the movies/books. Maybe the first great era is the Skywalker saga and the second is the high republic and years later the new jedi order era.

Ngl, I was still salty over the sequel trilogy when I heard about HR so I avoided it. After Andor, Ahsoka and Mando (idc what you think, that episode with Jack Black wase interesting af and explored space politics) I feel like I should give the HR a chance.

Man high republic and old republic deserves more who agree? Like movies or somthing.

SPOILERS FOR PEARL... HEAR me out... Pearl, the prequel to X, as a Star Wars movie, parallels perfectly to the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. Early on, Pearl is destined for greatness, but she's held back by the grownups, she has illusions of grandeur, she loses her father, in a way, to illness as he becomes a vegetable, experiences failure at the tryout and unleashes fury. She kills her mentor father / friend (obi wan), kills her dominating Mother (Mace and the the council) and kills her boyfriend (Padme) someone she cares about but only in a way that she can control him and what happens to him. (she freaks out when he seems like he's leaving her / scared of her)

Well Star Wars is dead to me. End of an era

I shouldn’t have watched this. I wasn’t ready to learn my favorite Jedi of the era dies.

So the next phase is a prequel to their prequel? Phase one was already pretty difficult to keep track of, I liked the mainline novels but when they started actively referencing materials I had not read, I dipped out. I think this is a fine experiment in story telling but I have to admit I think I'm passed the point of really caring.

Phase 1 was okay IMO. The Jedi were portrayed really well, the space Vikings they fought were rather meh. The other big issue is they made the galaxy feel so small. With most of the main adult books only taking place in 1-2 unique locations per book it was sometimes a slog to get through. Even a good author would have a hard time writing a whole book about a bad day at a fair feel exciting. Here is hoping Phase 2 ups the adrenaline and intrigue because it it's going to be more like Phase 1 then this is a boring part of the Galaxy's history.

tzeen story really dropped at the very end man. kinda disappointed it was going really strong up until then

Legends did it better.

Laaaame

I really wish this book series followed Yoda and we seen how he had a hand shaping the Jedi and not just him pretty much being an Easter egg in all these books

There are some really dope concepts coming out of high republic era. Love the Nihil, the tech, art style, the worlds. But the forced wokeness ruins it for me. Why are all the main characters lesbians? The galaxy in the high republic era feels like 80% women. Where’s the equality?

Thanks for the summary. I'm not going to read the high republic books . Boring story
