I hope we get a more in depth backstory about the Amaxine’s in future stories, they have a lot of potential

[@BrickSomething]

Was the restaurant that Affie and Scover ate at on Coruscanf Dexter’s future establishment?

[@UC1180_]

Right!!!!

[@lukesw01productions46]

I think it was, it was heavily implied. In my head cannon it is.

[@joemullarkey5719]

So I wasn’t the only one who thought that?

[@Major98]

Currently listening to this. So far I like Reath and Orla and the crew of the Vessel. It threw me off reading about Jora but then I remembered this book takes place concurrently with Light of the Jedi.

[@geovannibotticella7822]

You finish it?

[@Kishan2213]

Claudia Gray is 3 for 3 with my favorite star wars novels at this point

[@aleclininger]

She has written 5 though

[@UC1180_]

We need an episode dedicated to the greatness known as Geode. Please!!!!!!!

[@painstakeranimations9253]

Geode is a beast. Can't catch up with such a party dude.

[@lordfoul6259]

Omg I didn't know that was the same space station that Snoke was living in if I knew that I would've been like blow it up

[@mileschaney2365]

Canonization of the "Old Republic" with Sith/Jedi war

[@ct-5597jesse]

It was already canon

[@xijinpingthesnail4633]

@@ct-5597jesse Yep, since Tarkin novel

[@PerovNigma]

@@xijinpingthesnail4633 Even before that; in _The Clone Wars,_ Professor Huyang's cruiser has the Old Republic symbol on it, and Saesee Tiin mentions it in the final episode of the Citadel arc.

[@brycelahm1283]

Just finished reading it, with each High Republic book i get more and more invested

[@Anonymouse011]

The old republic is also mentioned in this book, when Orla Jareni is taking the idols down into the Sith shrine. Chapter 14

[@AbsolXGuardian]

The "space station run over by plants" description reminded me of Snoke's home, but I didn't remember it well enough to realize that it is obviously an Amaxine base. Although depending on the location, it might not be the same one, especially since it's implied the warriors left for the unknown regions when the thousand years of peace began.

[@weisenbergphoto]

You forgot the Old Republic name drop when Orla enters the Shrine in the Depths.

[@guru8104]

Yes i just got so exited seeing the reference. I think the high republic is a bridge between The Old Republic and the prequel era.

[@Ryguy0707]

Just finished this and came right over to this video. The book was fine. Would of liked more of the Dengir and Geode

[@samuelebalduzzi5376]

But when Sskeer in the second High Republic comic says "Surik's blade" he is refering to Meetra Surik?

[@sarahluise3153]

Good catch. Doesn't another HR novel also mention a time when they were only "a handful of Jedi"?

[@samuelebalduzzi5376]

@@sarahluise3153 Yes, Light of The Jedi i think

We may never know if it's meetra surik but I'm just hoping they don't focused on old republic i dont want it to be tarnished let high republic be thier priority

Claudia Gray is the EMPRESS of Star Wars Publishing!

No she's not. Emperors and empress rise and fall. Claudia Gray always rises to the ocasion.

[@xxlonesomewolf8284]

What abt orla and her hinged lightsaber like dark Rey had, except they’re white bladed like Ahsoka’s

[@alanpercival6428]

Any idea when /if the mandalorian will be released on DVD and Blu-ray?

[@EthanFrowen]

Cool

[@mikehenderson42]

I started watching you because of eck but I stayed because of funhaus

[@Steel_Haze]

I got a good question, you know that Death trooper explained told about the zombies y’know but that was 4 years ago, but If you listen Very carefully to there voice lines you’ll hear one say “ba ba droid” or “baba droid” or “ba-ba droid” I know the same but it sounds like it says “ba ba droid” as I said 3 times but different. [Anyways, keep up the good work]

[@sabertoothproductions4017]

Cover looks like if Rick Astley became a jedi.

Am I the only one who can't find Into the dark on Audible??

[@lordfoul6259]

Weird I found it and I can't find Star Wars Dark Legends on there

[@dubdeluxe6192]

i'm in NZ and cant get it on Audible or Kindle... I think they've region locked it for some reason

Did the Filithar not use lightsabers?

This Easter Eggs video makes me wonder when will *Harloff Major* gets a nod???

[@andrein_501st]

When Kristian Harloff bustes his ass off being a fan for 5 more years 🤣

[@travus111]

Probably won't anymore

[@danieljenkins1758]

To the good and sensible people reading this - you're awesome, you're loved, you can do this, have a great day :)

[@bruceybonus999]

Just saw your Wired part 2 video. It’s funny how you answer the questions so easily, but if it’s a question about the logic/plot in the Sequel films then it’s so difficult to come up with an answer 😂😭😭 Sequel trilogy ruined Star Wars 😭😭

[@theblade1251]

Not really intrested on hog3h republic the reason im watching this video to see generic Easter eggs and references from legends (especially old republic) so far it's only litte legends mentions

[@itsashun7799]

Am I the only one who doesn't care that much for The High Republic

[@NirateGoel]

That's a pretty pointless question isn't it? Obviously there are others that don't. Just don't start going around being a Negative Nancy on High Republic content just cause you dislike it. Personally I really don't have much interest left for any Star Wars, the fandom killed it for me. Or more the legends/cannon war.

[@itsashun7799]

@@NirateGoel lol a Negative nancy I don't hate it I just wish they would make the Old Republic canon and not have lightsaber whips tbh

[@itsashun7799]

@@splashnskillz37 I'm not allowed to dislike something? I'm not hating on it it's just that Star Wars is in a bit of a dry spot and all the Star Wars yt'ers are doing high republic videos but the story is not that appealing to me

[@splashnskillz37]

@@itsashun7799 you're allowed, just don't go around the web campaigning against content like a fandom menacer, there's enough of that destroying the franchise, and if there's no videos appealing to you just don't watch it until it does, use your time for something else
