i read like 5 high republic books in a week.
Seeing the Celebration Announcement for “The Ronin” has been hyped for more Visions figures down the road.
First off, the quality of the packaging itself, and then the wired soft-goods robe and droid really delicate the figure. This is what Black Series figures should be, and hopefully we’ll get to S.H figurearts levels of quality & accessories. I’m technically a vintage collection collector but i definitely pick up Black Series figures if they really strike me.
I’d love to see more Visions figures get made in both scales.
F is from my favorite Visions EP in the whole series and I desperately need a figure of her. Lop & her droid would be a unique sculpt for the line while Juro is just such a badass and would look great on the shelf. And finally, The Bandit Leader Kuro is a must so we can display her battling the Ronin.
From S2, Aau and the Sith Mother both have very different but incredibly unique designs while the Jedi & Sith from “Journey to The Dark Head” are such a perfect pair. That Sith design is so dark & sleek, imagine that chain lightsaber on the shelf!
My hopes are that we get a Celebration announcement of a High Republic figure that has such grand packaging like this. An Avar, Stellan, or Marchion would be a ✨Dream✨ collection item and would cap off the publishing event in a nice way I think.
Look at how incredible this is! I cannot wait to get this in person and actually read it. I know that the audio book is also going to go so hard *just like they all do*
Plus it’s going to be 500+ pages…..we are so not ready for what this book is about to bring. With everything, I know it’s gonna be a rollercoaster from start to finish.
I’ve been keeping up with the High Republic since it was first announced and seeing these characters grow and change has been such an emotional/fulfilling journey. It’s gunna be hard to say goodbye to these characters for awhile. I’m gunna miss em so much. Avar, Elzar, Stellan, Vernestra, Marchion, Bell, Keevee, Xylan Graff, Marda, Kevmo, Loden, Imri, and Gavi all of you will have my heart forever 🫶🏽🫶🏽😭
Kinda niche but I hope that we get a cool moment for master Xo Lahru by the end of phase 3. He’s 1 of only 4 cannon grandmasters we have so far and I would love to know more about him.
Pra-Tre veter got such a badass end to his character fitting of a grandmaster, having an incredible show of strength in the shadows of starlight comic. We’ve also gotten to know him and his personally quite well in the Yoda comics and shadows of starlight, while also having a historic death that really impacted me while reading it.
That Fight scene in Shadows of starlight will forever live rent free in my head tbh. And the armor he wears is top notch, and I’ll always be a Master Veter defender
I think Pra-Tre really had the “grandmaster aura” and I hope we get the some love for Lahru and Ry Ki-Sakka because they have such cool designs and I don’t want that potential to be wasted
Been rereading Path of Deceit and I forgot how much I love this book. There’s something so thrilling about seeing the force through the eyes of Marda & the Path of the Open Hand. It really is suspenseful and as the story progresses throughout phase 2 the cult really gets more and more terrifying.
A midsummer sequel portrayal of the force in Star Wars really is gratifying.
Plus seeing such open queer representation in Star Wars and the tragedy between Marda/Kevmo & Yana/Kor. I’ll never be over them, living rent free in my head at all times
In a perfect world these 3 would all be happy and living there life together. Aiding planets, stopping pirates, and being the cutest polycule in the galaxy
Alas….all we high republic fans know is trauma. God I love these books
Very excited to see more acolyte merch, and we're finally getting our first official "figure" of the stranger!
I think things like this are important, characters like Torbin and Aniseya probably won't get much merch so getting things like this in the collection is always exciting
Definitely gunna try to get 1 of each in my collection
Also- how cool would it be to get something like this for the High Republic books. Getting figures feels like a dream but something like this could be a more realistic goal and I know high republic fans would love it
Imagine a mini-Marchion, Loden, or Avar Kriss!
A phase 1 & phase 2 wave would be sick! I feel like we need something big to kick off the final wave of high republic books
Took a break from Star Wars for a bit after The Acolyte and had the pleasure of exploring some other fandoms for while
Now that I’m divining back in there’s so much more high republic media I gotta catch up with in 2025
Looking forward to to how much joy and ✨Trauma✨ that the High Republic gives me
