Summary
The High Republic is an unexplored period in Star Wars history， set hundreds of years before the events of the Skywalker Saga - when the Jedi were at their height and Master Yoda was much younger， and still training Padawans in the field。
It is here where we find Jedi Padawans Farzala and Qort， who are taking a break from the ongoing battle against the dangerous marauders known as the Nihil。 As part of a secret mission， they join an aging Jedi Knight on the starship The Vessel to negotiate a peace treaty with the Hutt crime family。 Hey， what could go wrong？ As it turns out: literally everything。
Collects Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issues #6–8， the 2021 Free Comic Book Day story， and the 2021 Annual。

Little bit of a detour from the previous volume， as this one doesn't focus on the two kids。 Instead we are treated to a story about the Hutts， they're trying to give peace a chance whilst talking to the Jedi but an assassination attempt puts a spanner in the works。 There are quite a few story stories in this but it doesn't detract from the story。 It's just showing us what the rest of the Jedi are doing in the universe， which is quite interesting。 We do get one issue that follows on from Star War Little bit of a detour from the previous volume， as this one doesn't focus on the two kids。 Instead we are treated to a story about the Hutts， they're trying to give peace a chance whilst talking to the Jedi but an assassination attempt puts a spanner in the works。 There are quite a few story stories in this but it doesn't detract from the story。 It's just showing us what the rest of the Jedi are doing in the universe， which is quite interesting。 We do get one issue that follows on from Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures， Vol。 1， where we get a bit of a time skip and one of the kids goes rouge， honestly I'm loving the storyline it's just so good。 Not sure why but my volume collects issues 6 - 8， free comic book day special and 2021 annual。 Instead of what is released everywhere else， bit strange but it must be a UK only thing。 。。。more

Yes， I should have known better。 But I still wanted to read it！ And I finally got to see my fave， Geode， in action （from a certain point of view， ha！）。 I was actually enjoying myself and then。。。oh dear。 This volume contains multiple one shots and the plot ceases halfway through。 Very disappointing。

Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures， Vol。 2 was a super fun read。 There wasn't as much development of the main story as I expected but the 2021 Annual stories were such a delight that I still enjoyed the volume。 These are some of my favorite characters in the High Republic universe。 I can't wait to see how this phase wraps up。 Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures， Vol。 2 was a super fun read。 There wasn't as much development of the main story as I expected but the 2021 Annual stories were such a delight that I still enjoyed the volume。 These are some of my favorite characters in the High Republic universe。 I can't wait to see how this phase wraps up。 。。。more

7/10:This collection of comics is so much better than the first！ It does a great job connecting to the events of the High Republic era while standing on its own in terms of storytelling and better art than the first volume！ Genuinely looking for reading more about these characters soon！

This was a little disjointed。 Some stories had art that was just okay， and some had art that was amazing。 There also wasn’t a real overarching plot， which felt weird。 Anyway， it was fine。

I really enjoyed this volume。 I love the continuity between all the Star Wars universe。 I love the way these connect to the novels and comics despite being from different companies。This volume has a great mix of back stories， giving the lesser known characters a chance to grow and shine as well as moving yhe main story going on in this comics on。The volume contains 8 stories of various lengths。 Short to medium， but I definitely notice the main events in the novels that these stories are adding d I really enjoyed this volume。 I love the continuity between all the Star Wars universe。 I love the way these connect to the novels and comics despite being from different companies。This volume has a great mix of back stories， giving the lesser known characters a chance to grow and shine as well as moving yhe main story going on in this comics on。The volume contains 8 stories of various lengths。 Short to medium， but I definitely notice the main events in the novels that these stories are adding depth to。 9n a personal level I also prefer the artwork in thus volume over all to the first volume。 。。。more

A collection of adventures from across the High Republic featuring Jedi tackling the Nihil， the Drengir and the Hutts， among other challenges。The bulk of this book is made up of stories， by Daniel Jose Older， continuing the adventures of the young Padawans introduced in Volume 1 of this series， beginning with the attack on the Republic Fair （231 BBY）， continuing through a confrontation with the Hutts and the Drengir and ending with a Nihil attack against Takodana （Maz Kanata's home from 'The For A collection of adventures from across the High Republic featuring Jedi tackling the Nihil， the Drengir and the Hutts， among other challenges。The bulk of this book is made up of stories， by Daniel Jose Older， continuing the adventures of the young Padawans introduced in Volume 1 of this series， beginning with the attack on the Republic Fair （231 BBY）， continuing through a confrontation with the Hutts and the Drengir and ending with a Nihil attack against Takodana （Maz Kanata's home from 'The Force Awakens'， if it sounds familiar）We then get a series of shorter tales which range from an adventure with Bell Zettifar and Loden Greatstorm from before the High Republic series began to Vernestra Rwoh's first meeting with her Master， Stellan Gios。 Whilst less engaging than the main storyline， it was nice to see some vignettes of characters from across the High Republic story era。It may be that this far in （for me; two novels and five graphic novels） that I've finally started to get to grips with the main players of the High Republic， but overall this book felt more settled and less unfamiliar than some of the other High Republic stories have。 The appearances of characters from other mediums felt more natural and less forced， meaning that seeing the likes of Bell Zettifar or Ram Jomaram didn't feel as incongruous as they could have。 Strangely， this book was the first time that I felt as if the High Republic had a cohesive narrative， which was particularly weird in an anthology with tales from various timeframes。It's far from perfect or mind-blowing， but this was a very solid and enjoyable addition to the High Republic era。* More reviews here: https://fsfh-book-review2。webnode。com * 。。。more

Story was pretty good。 A whole punch of padawans on missions etc。 it’s a different kind of story。 I just didn’t like how it wasn’t made with a lot of action

Some fun stuff here， but it's too scattered to make much of an impact。 The first half focuses on a character we haven't spent much time with before， and the unremarkable story doesn't do anything to develop him memorably。 The second half fares better， as it shifts back to the cast of the first volume—who have grown up a bit during the year-ish time jump， which， unfortunately， is poorly explained， so the change is pretty jarring。 But it's nice seeing that cast again， and I'm glad the next volume Some fun stuff here， but it's too scattered to make much of an impact。 The first half focuses on a character we haven't spent much time with before， and the unremarkable story doesn't do anything to develop him memorably。 The second half fares better， as it shifts back to the cast of the first volume—who have grown up a bit during the year-ish time jump， which， unfortunately， is poorly explained， so the change is pretty jarring。 But it's nice seeing that cast again， and I'm glad the next volume seems to be shifting focus back on them。The annual issue included here is the easy standout。 The collection of stories adds some fun dimensions by jumping backward in time to show us some of the earlier/earliest adventures of characters we know from the novels。 It's still nothing all that notable， but they're enjoyable reads， and the artwork is nice and unique。 As a whole， the artwork is hit-or-miss for me this time， but the colors remain top-notch。 I love Star Wars comics when they're vibrant， and this series is certainly that。 Overall， a pretty skippable collection， but I enjoy reading Star Wars stuff that's unabashedly geared toward younger readers because that's the age I was when I first got into the movies。 It's fun looking at it from that perspective。 。。。more

This volume of Adventures knocks it out of the park！ Issues 6 and 7， which really focus on Farzala， are perhaps my favorite issues of the series since the first one， with excellent character work and Jedi wisdom， plus a stellar Into the Dark crossover！The Free Comic Book Day issue is a great time， too， taking place smack during the climax of The Rising Storm （and after Race to Crashpoint Tower）。 It's a wonderful bit of connective tissue that functions nicely on its own。I'm taking a star off beca This volume of Adventures knocks it out of the park！ Issues 6 and 7， which really focus on Farzala， are perhaps my favorite issues of the series since the first one， with excellent character work and Jedi wisdom， plus a stellar Into the Dark crossover！The Free Comic Book Day issue is a great time， too， taking place smack during the climax of The Rising Storm （and after Race to Crashpoint Tower）。 It's a wonderful bit of connective tissue that functions nicely on its own。I'm taking a star off because of the annual which is。。。 fine。 Having a short one-shot from each author is fun， but none of the vignettes are terribly engaging。 I'd give them an average of 3 stars each。 。。。more

Two volumes deep into “The High Republic Adventures” comic site， and it’s become pretty clear that this series is basically meant to act as the ‘fun， if inessential’ pup of the “High Republic” line。 Writer Daniel Jose Olderr does a consistently good job， issue-to-issue， of telling stories that hold the reader’s attention， integrating colorful characters with witty narratives and a jovial overall vibe。 That the series itself seems to be steering away from the grander initiative-pushing narratives Two volumes deep into “The High Republic Adventures” comic site， and it’s become pretty clear that this series is basically meant to act as the ‘fun， if inessential’ pup of the “High Republic” line。 Writer Daniel Jose Olderr does a consistently good job， issue-to-issue， of telling stories that hold the reader’s attention， integrating colorful characters with witty narratives and a jovial overall vibe。 That the series itself seems to be steering away from the grander initiative-pushing narratives that characterize Marvel’s other “High Republic” series is less a fault and more a feature: “The High Republic Adventures” may not be the most “important” entry of the “High Republic” publishing line in terms of advancing the broader story， but it is among the most consistently enjoyable， month to month。 And that’s not nothing。 。。。more

I'm not connecting with these characters as well as some others， and I suspect some of that is due to artwork I don't like that well。 I'm not connecting with these characters as well as some others， and I suspect some of that is due to artwork I don't like that well。 。。。more

DJO deliverers another wonderful update to what has become my favorite ongoing series。 Wonderful side story with Fazala （wow， butchered that name）， and I love what's his name （you know， Fazala's master）， and even a guest appearance from everyone's favorite Vintian。 DJO deliverers another wonderful update to what has become my favorite ongoing series。 Wonderful side story with Fazala （wow， butchered that name）， and I love what's his name （you know， Fazala's master）， and even a guest appearance from everyone's favorite Vintian。 。。。more
