In this episode of Clashing Sabers, we take a galaxy-spanning look back at Star Wars: The High Republic, analyzing the entire publishing initiative through our signature Best and Butts format. From breathtaking storytelling to controversial character choices, we break down the highs and lows of this ambitious era in the Star Wars galaxy.We each highlight three things we loved—the “Best”—that make The High Republic an essential part of Star Wars canon, as well as three critiques—the “Butts”—that didn’t work as well or left us wanting more. Whether it’s the Jedi, the Nihil, the Drengir, or the deep themes of light vs. dark, we leave no kyber crystal unturned.If you’ve read every novel, only dipped into the comics, or are just curious about where to start, this Clashing Sabers conversation will give you insight into what makes The High Republic such a bold and divisive experiment in Star Wars storytelling.Topics we cover:<ul><li>The strengths of The High Republic’s characters, world-building, and connections to the larger saga</li><li>Major criticisms and challenges that held the initiative back</li><li>How The High Republic changed Star Wars storytelling forever</li><li>What we hope to see in future phases and adaptations</li></ul>Join the conversation and let us know your own Best and Butts for The High Republic!Join our<a href="https://www.patreon.com/clashingsabers" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Patreon ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>to support our literacy non-profit that gets<a href="https://clashingsabers.net/nominate-a-teacher/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠Star Wars books into classrooms.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> One-hundred percent of your donations go directly toward buying and sending books!<a href="https://clashingsabers.net/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ClashingSabers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/clashingsabers.bsky.social" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clashing Sabers on Blue Sky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@clashingsabers?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clashing Sabers on Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/clashingsabers/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Clashing Sabers on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/g/EZei9e6YmJzLcADH/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Star Wars Clashing Sabers Facebook group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>And don’t forget to leave us a rating and review on your podcatcher of choice!
