STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC ADVENTURES #2, available Wednesday from IDW, continues the tale of several younglings set in the time of the High Republic. Namely, young Zeen and Lula, two determined young women.
All of a sudden there has been so much in way of new material surrounding the High Republic. Both in books and comic books, the time period is blowing up. Thankfully, not literally. In fact, you probably noticed that there’s another series with a very similar name (Star Wars: The High Republic).
Both series do feature a combination of Jedi and their Padawans, though the focus for each feels very different. In this case, the dominant themes are loyalty, learning to make decisions, and the power of secrets.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures #2 brings us back to Trymant IV, a planet that faces a fiery end. This is the planet that Zeen and Krix grew up on, and the planet that Padawans Lula, Farzal, and Qort all came to help.
Now would probably be a good time to mention that there’s a Nihil ship involved as well, and regular readers are probably already dreading what that could mean.

Book Rating: 6/10
Better than the first issue. The story feels might tighter in this one too. Art is fine. But nothing to write home about. I know Yoda is younger in this period, but it doesn't look like him for me. Too many characters, so not enough detail given about these people. This means I'm struggling to connect to them, and if I can't connect to them, I find it hard to care what happens to them. We need to get rid of some of the characters. Possibly focus on Zeen and Lula more as they both seem to have real potential to be stars in this comic series. It still hasn't grabbed me yet. But its definitely better than the first issue.

This is another fun addition to this new series. I love learning more about the padawans and seeing Yoda in action.
