Rated T
Keeve Trennis has seen the possible fall of the Jedi and no one seems to understand. Yet the visions she faces are placed by the Drengir and could be simply a way to break her spirit. Either way, it ensures that more trouble is rushing toward the spread thin Jedi across the outer rim and wild space. It will certainly be a legendary clash. Read Full Review
Jeanty does a great job with the visuals in this issue. There are so many great details throughout the pages and the art is immersive on every page. Read Full Review
The High Republic era has that delicate balance to work of feeling like a Star Wars property but removed from the era that we know so well. And that means being a bit weirder while leaning into the familiar from time to time. This issue is focused heavily on Keeve and spending time getting to know her and her struggle more is good because we don't have decades of film and imagination built into the character. Scott's script has her dealing with things well but not getting the help she needs because of the scale of events going on, especially with what Avar Kriss is drawing people in for. I do like the smaller nature of things and the introduction of the Wayseeker has me curious if this will really get explored or if it's just a little extra color for things in the end.

Star Wars: The High Republic #7 is worth the price of admission for those who are currently reading this series, but it's not for new readers. Although there is a summary page, in the beginning, describing what has come before" in this reviewer's opinion, new readers should first read a few other Star Wars: The High Republic comics. In doing so you will gain a better understanding of the characters and plot for a more enjoyable reading experience. Read Full Review
Keeve Trennis is starting to feel a bit like other troubled Star Wars protagonists of the pasts, but her battle with the darkness inside her still finds a way to remain interesting throughout each issue. Read Full Review
I was really dreading the series up til this point but this was great. This issue rejuvenated my excitement for the series. Bringing in the familiar red saber was an element I felt was really needed.
This series continues to be consistently strong, with our first red saber in the series providing some striking imagery. Always an enjoyable read and Keeve Trennis is a solid main Jedi character.
