Greetings Jedha！ Feels like I’ve used this intro a million times but I do love it。 Though unfortunately for Jedha battle is coming…again。 Poor Jedha。 For a peaceful planet， they are really lacking in the peace department in this phase。 Thanks George Mann！ The Battle of Jedha starts basically at the end of Convergence， where it looks like E’ronoh and Eiram finally have achieved peace， hiccups aside。 Axel Greylark in jail。 Phan-Tu and Xiri madly in love and married。 A feeling of peace between the Greetings Jedha！ Feels like I’ve used this intro a million times but I do love it。 Though unfortunately for Jedha battle is coming…again。 Poor Jedha。 For a peaceful planet， they are really lacking in the peace department in this phase。 Thanks George Mann！ The Battle of Jedha starts basically at the end of Convergence， where it looks like E’ronoh and Eiram finally have achieved peace， hiccups aside。 Axel Greylark in jail。 Phan-Tu and Xiri madly in love and married。 A feeling of peace between the Monarchs of both worlds。 Well， things rarely go to plan， bringing us to this book， or rather an old-school audio drama （please give us more of these Lucasfilm）。 There are a few stars of this book， but it’s safe to say it revolves around good old Creighton Sun。 A Jedi Master with an appearance of some old Stellan concept art that really looks more like Elzar。 Oh， and the charisma of an entire star system to go with it。Assisted by Jedi Knight Aida Forte voiced by （Kristen Sieh）， these two are assigned to look over the peace treaty signing on Jedha。 Each planet has sent an ambassador， and a sizable military contingent because of course， as the young royals are leading the reconstruction efforts and cannot attend。 Great， amazing！ Nothing is going to go wrong。 That’s why this audio drama is like 6 hours。 6 hours of total peace。 Kidding， kidding。 This is the High Republic after all。 Everything all goes to bits， literally。 And of course， the Path and a Graf are at the center of it， cause the Graf’s were always pieces of crap。 I’ll keep it light on the spoilers here， however。The story I found generally enjoyable。 There were not any moments that had me rolling my eyes。 Ok， there was one， but it is a spoiler， so I’ll skip it。 I’m not going to say this is the best story of Phase II， but is a close second。 With 2021’s Tempest Runner and now this， it really confirms my thoughts that Lucasfilm should be doing two these a year， at a minimum。 The voice casts are spectacular。 The scores are great。 The sound effects are never jarring and always help guide you to what’s happening。 The scripts are superb。 Arguably up there with Andor as the best Star Wars script storytelling of the past few years。 Which brings me to this audio drama’s voice cast。Raphael Corkhill is sublime as Creighton Sun。 His voice has hints of Obi-Wan to it， but it is never too much。 None of the lines feels forced and his chemistry with the other cast members is always on point。 Kristen Sieh as Aida Forte was a pleasant standout to me。 I never really assigned her a voice while reading Convergence， but it really fits after this。 But I do have two personal favorites from Battle of Jedha， Catherine Ho as Silandra Sho and January LaVoy as The Mother。 I cannot talk enough about their performances。 I could rave about it for days。 January LaVoy just fits as The Mother。 It’s hard to describe what I love her performance is amazing all around。 Her peaceful calm。 Her simmering rage。 The way she plays with deceit like it is the truth。 When she lectures the Jedi。 I’m not sure if there is some sort of book narrator Oscar equivalent， but give it to her for her performance。 Also shoutout to one of my personal favorite audio narrators， Shannon Tyo， who does a wonderful job as Marda Ro。 Which brings me to The Mother and the crucial role she plays in the story。 She wants to sow dissent， and show that the Jedi cause more harm than good， even if she is the one pulling those strings。 That is really the whole point to his story。 Chaos。 The Jedi do not help， but hurt。 Look what happened on Jedha！ A peace conference of their own construction ending in nothing but death， destruction， and a war simmering anew。 More and more， you might have people thinking that this Path of the Open Hand is right。 Maybe the Jedi are hurting the force。 Maybe the Jedi are causing disruption in the force， and all this war is the Force’s way to achieve balance in the universe。And in the end it really works。 She has sown dissent。 She has brought mistrust。 And she has brought two planets back to a war。 Marchion Ro beats The Republic from sheer force and blunt attacks。 Elecia Zeveron does it with words and plots in the shadow。 It’s an interesting thing for sure， to see how they each use their strengths。If I had one complain， it is how much this book relies on convinces。 Of course， they need to have the treaty signed on a neutral world。 Of course the young royals cannot attend， to see through their treaty。 Of course， the monarchs cannot go either。 They have to send ambassadors who hate each other。 All of this could have been avoided if they signed the damned treaty then and there before all of this carnage。 In truth， this audio drama is made with a foundation not of logic， but of plot convenience leading to this。 If you don’t think about it too much， it makes this very enjoyable。 If you do think of it however， you can’t help but think how all of this was easily avoidable if they just signed it， instead of giving into pomp and circumstance。 Overall， The Battle of Jedha is a welcome and much-needed addition to Phase II of the High Republic。 It is what I wanted from Convergence。 There is no coming back from this audio drama。 It is blowing up peace and sowing dissent。 And I can’t see anything but horrors upon horror in store for the Jedi。 。。。more

The High Republic is always a delight， and Phase II has been a WHIRLWIND so far。 This audio drama’s focus on Silandra Sho， the Jedi master from Quest for the Hidden City， was such a joy。 However， while its plot made sense logically， I did feel like we were in the same spot we were left at the end of Convergence， with not much movement forward in the overall plot。 （This may be the point， however， and I’ll be interested to see my thoughts once Phase II is over）。I think this audio drama had to do a The High Republic is always a delight， and Phase II has been a WHIRLWIND so far。 This audio drama’s focus on Silandra Sho， the Jedi master from Quest for the Hidden City， was such a joy。 However， while its plot made sense logically， I did feel like we were in the same spot we were left at the end of Convergence， with not much movement forward in the overall plot。 （This may be the point， however， and I’ll be interested to see my thoughts once Phase II is over）。I think this audio drama had to do a lot of heavy lifting introducing more characters and giving them more time， like Creighton and Aida， so I don’t begrudge it that。 And there were so many bittersweet moments about Jedha and the future of the Republic that any Star Wars fan will hear and their heart will break， knowing what occurs in Rogue One， and even in Order 66。In all I enjoyed myself thoroughly and couldn’t stop listening， but I kept feeling like something new might be revealed， and felt a bit disappointed。 However， I’m happy to have spent more time with these characters， and especially the Guardians of the Whills， and it was a thoroughly Star Wars story， in action， political tension， and other themes。 。。。more

From the beginning of the High Republic Era I have been able to read all the content in release order and have found my enjoyment of it immensely improved。 For Phase 2 in general and The Battle of Jedha specifically knowing what came prior is essential。 So reading Path of Deceit， Quest for the Hidden city， Convergence，the first three issues of the High Republic comic and the three Tales of Enlightenment stories are going to help you dive into this story。 And dive you will as the opening scenes s From the beginning of the High Republic Era I have been able to read all the content in release order and have found my enjoyment of it immensely improved。 For Phase 2 in general and The Battle of Jedha specifically knowing what came prior is essential。 So reading Path of Deceit， Quest for the Hidden city， Convergence，the first three issues of the High Republic comic and the three Tales of Enlightenment stories are going to help you dive into this story。 And dive you will as the opening scenes show the Jedi temple on Jedha being besieged by a riled up populace。 The story then back tracks to introduce the events and people that lead to the showdown。 Silandra Sho is one of the main focuses of this story。 She has come to Jedha for a pilgrimage and finds the city much changed since her last visit and finds that the z path of the Open Hand has had a tremendous effect on how the public views Jedi。 The Path wants the Force to be “free” they view the Jedi as abusers to the Force and their leader The Mother has a tool that capable of breaking a Jedi’s connection to the force and ultimately killing them。However on Jedha the Path is waging a more subtle war on the hearts and minds of the citizens of Jedha and attempting to have the path acknowledged on an official leadership council。It succeeds more than the Mother anticipated and lights a dangerous tinderbox that even puts the Path at risk。This is an audio story that requires focus as their is a large cast of characters and creative ways to explore what is happening in scenes that may be hard for those who aren’t used to the audio drama format。 It’s not like an audiobook where locations and characters thoughts， intentions and actions a clearly telegraphed。 I listens over the course of 2 days and had to restrict multitasking while listening and focus on the story。 I enjoyed the experience very much and was very satisfied with the story！！ 。。。more
