In this episode, the hosts provide an overview of The High Republic, with a particular focus on the characters and factions introduced in Phase 1: the Supreme Chancellor Lina Soh and her Great Works; the growing threat of the Nihil marauders; the establishment of the Republic Defense Force; and a huge array of Jedi Knights, Masters, and Padawans with the Order itself at the zenith of its power. The episode also touches on the portrayal of Jedi as being more flexible in this era, but starting to adopt a more consistent (and stringent) dogma - while their portrayal still remains more hopeful and optimistic compared to the darkness of Anakin Skywalker. The hosts also touch on Phase 2, which is a prequel phase that focuses on the origins of the Nihil and the Forever War between two Outer Rim worlds. Listen now to hear all about The High Republic and this newest period explored in the Star Wars universe.
