 Republic #79: 'Into the Unknown' Part I picks up in the grim aftermath of Order 66. Thousands of Jedi generals and padawan lieutenants have been murdered with a single executive command. But whether by chance or resourcefulness, some of the bewildered heroes escaped execution.
After a beautifully illustrated Order 66 montage displaying those who were martyrs as well as those who survived, 'Into the Unknown' follows two story arcs of three surviving Jedi.
On the wintry world of Toola in the Outer Rim, Order 66 plays out directly after a hard won Republic victory against Seperatist Forces. After their clones turn against the Jedi, murdering Master Simms, Jedi Master Kai Hudorra is forced to flee with Simms' orphaned padawan, a young girl named Noirah Na...
On the vibrant, forested world of New Plymto, Jedi Master Dass Jennir flees his rogue clones. Still at war with the Seperatist Nosaurians, Dass has the misfortune of running into one of their scouts. It is here that the Jedi must make the choice of trusting an alien who only hours before had been his enemy...
Welles Hartley's gripping tale comes to life through Chris Chuckry's masterful, illuminated coloring and Doug Wheatley's arresting art. The reader is virtually sucked into the rapid events through the work of this awesome trio. Wheatley's inconsistencies in the Revenge of the Sith graphic novel are forgiven by his flawless job here.
At $2.99, awesome Star Wars tales such as this are a guilty pleasure. Be sure to get out to your local comic store and fetch the latest copy of Star Wars: Republic today!
