This week, we’re discussing Star Wars: The High Republic, a comics series from IDW written by Daniel José Older. What do visuals add to our understanding of this era of Star Wars? What should become of Force-sensitive children whom the Jedi won’t train? Why is Krix the worst? Listen for our thoughts on these topics and more.
The cause we’re highlighting for this episode is Brigada Solidaria del Oeste (BSO). They are a mutual aid group asking for donations of emergency essentials for residents, including first-aid kits, water filters, solar lamps and water purification tablets. In addition to emergency essentials, the organization is also welcoming monetary donations as another form of direct aid and support to their PayPal: brigadasolidariaoeste@gmail.com.
