Introducing The Villains Of Star Wars: The High Republic

By Bespin refugee on 2020-10-30 in Comics & Books


Launching in January 2021, Star Wars: The High Republic will be explored through multiple voices and span adult and young adult novels, children’s books, and comics from a variety of publishers. StarWars.com takes a look at some of the starring villains.

The Drengir - "Sentient plant-life who are looking to reap a terrible harvest across the galactic frontier,... They are sinister, unstoppable and, as we’ll find out, inescapably linked to the fate of one of our High Republic Jedi…”



The Nihil - "..,Brutal, savage marauders, based in the Outer Rim,...The Nihil are organized into three main divisions called Tempests, each with its own captain who wields total control”





"Marchion Ro holds an important post within the greater Nihil organization — he is the Eye of the Nihil, as was his father before him. He doesn’t give the orders — that’s up to the Tempest Runners — but in a very real way, everything revolves around him”

I finally got around to read these books and comics, I'm almost done with all of the ones that have been released so far. I gotta say, I haven't been this excited with something Star Wars in a long while. The story is really good and they have some of the most interesting and likeable characters in any Star Wars project.

That's is amazing idea to pick this era to told a story .. star wars needs all attention more now than ever .. maybe it can salvage the original spirit that makes us all fall in love with it at the first place
