Sad news, as the second Phase of The High Republic ends, so does the second volume of The High Republic Adventures. After a first volume under the umbrella of IDW, Phase 2 saw the title move to Dark Horse, and speaking with writer Daniel Jose Older, the Official Site look at what has made this series such a joy to soak in for readers of all ages.
StarWars.com: As the series comes to an end, what do you hope fans young and old have taken away from it?
Daniel José Older: The thing that surprised me most about Sav’s journey during this run was how emotional and personal it ended up being. I set out to write a swashbuckling tale of pirate mayhem, and I definitely did that. But it turned out I was also writing the story of a young person fighting against the current to be exactly who she is and discovering allies and villains in the most unexpected places along the way. Sav knows she’s not able to fully spread her wings at the beginning of this story, and that’s what propels her forward into Maz’s crew and ultimately back to the source of her problems. Ultimately, this is a story about finding your family and, in doing so, finding yourself.
We were fortunate enough to interview Daniel on Making Tracks, discussing his various works and The High Republic Adventures.
