The Jedi travel to Wild Space to confront the Great Progenitor of the Drengir. Then Keeve Trennis infiltrates the Nihil.
We return to Cavan Scott’s The High Republic with a discussion of issues eight and nine. One story ends in issue eight, and another begins in issue nine. The crusade against the Drengir comes to a head when the Jedi and the Hutts arrive on Mulita to find and capture the Great Progenitor. Can the Jedi maintain their alliance with the Hutts long enough to get the job done? Next, Avar Kriss and Stellan Gios disagree about how the campaign against the Nihil should proceed. Therefore, Avar secretly decides to send Keeve Trennis undercover to the Nihil to attempt to figure out where they are and who is in command. Keeve will be tested like never before. Join us as we discuss the latest two issues from Marvel.
On this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The Jedi and the Hutts confronting the Drengir on Mulita,
- The relationship teased between Orla Jareni and Sskeer,
