Star Wars: Comics In Canon - Ep 84: Attack Of The Drengir & The Trandoshian Jedi (High Republic #1-5, Phase 1, Wave 1)

A NEW ERA SET 200 YEARS BEFORE THE SKYWALKER SAGA! In the first full episode of 2022, Mike starts by giving background information on this new era of Star Wars (including reading orders, timelines & his previously released High Republic content) before embarking on the first volume of High Republic comics, which introduces padawan Keeve Trennis, Trandoshian Jedi master Sskeer, as well as showcasing Starlight Beacon, Jedi Master Avar Kriss, the force-bonded twins Ceret & Terec and the fearsome living plants; the Drengir. Plus Mike gives plenty of additional information on Ximpi, Rodians, Artiodacs and more!

Mike gives background information on The High Republic until around 8 minutes, where he goes into the comics themselves (in case you want to dive right in)!

These High Republic comics are set in 232BBY, in the first phase & first wave of the High Republic.

The High Republic 1 was released 6th January 2021, issue 5 was released May 12th 2021 and the trade paperback collection was released September 7th 2021.
