The High Republic Week 2025 | For Light and Life!

I made a thing! I'm bad at words so here's some pictures.

People. Probably some good, some bad, but for the next few days, her people. She loved these runs. No matter what eventually happened in the lives of these folks, they were heading to the Rim to make their dreams come true. She was part of that, and it made her feel good.

"You can do it, old gal. We're a couple of cranky old ladies and that's for sure, but we've both got a lot of life left to live. I've taken damn good care of you, and you know it. I won't let you down if you won't let me down." Hedda did not fail her ship. It failed her.

for the high republic appreciation week 2025 - day 6: we are all the republic

i wanted to honor hedda casset as the very first character we meet in this era. i still don't know how charles soule managed to make me fall in love with a character so fast, only to have me crying, absolutely shocked and crushed by her death a few pages later. but what a worthy death it was! hedda is a true hero of the republic.

I’ve loved Marchion as a villain since he was introduced and love to hate him. I also really liked Lourna Dee as an antagonist (something something women’s wrongs (but also I was rooting for her redemption and happy ending but also would’ve rooted for the happy ending no matter what)). Bc I’ve been listening to LotJ, I kinda miss Kassav bc it was fun to hate him and make fun of him.

When I first read through Phase II I wasn’t super attached to the antagonists then, but since rereading it I appreciate them all much more. Marda jumped into my fave high republic characters list the second time around. A Closed Fist Has No Claws was my fave short story and I need a Ro Family story when this is all over.

Might play with the Marda and Marchion picture more later (I wanted to add their sabers and the rods). The other is an old sketch from when EOD came out and a drawing from when POD came out.

the Jedi are far-and-away my favorite part of the High Republic. i have loved the Jedi ever since i was a little kid seeing Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon leap into danger to rescue Amidala and her entourage from battle droids for the first time.

the High Republic has given us a unique look into the lives of Jedi outside of just them facing combat and external conflict. we’ve gotten stories of Jedi initiates like Nima and Viv’nia in Edge of Balance or Tep Tep, Gavi, and Kildo in Phase III’s comics and middle grade books. we’ve had stories of Padawans like Rooper and Matty in Phase II and Reath and Bell in Phase I, knights like Keeve and Vernestra in Phase I and Bell and Imri in Phase III, and Masters throughout.

the Jedi are at the heart of the High Republic and i am so, so grateful for it.

this little Viv’nia and Nima fic is one of my favorites i’ve written about the Jedi in this era, so i’m gonna include it here!
