The third phase of The High Republic stepped up a gear with the arrival of George Mann’s novel The Eye of Darkness, and StarWars.com take a closer look at the biggest threat to the Jedi since the arrival of the Nihil, The Nameless, a foe the Jedi know little about but which fills them with dread.
“The Nameless are one of the key mysteries of the High Republic — despite having seen them a fair amount by now, and the Jedi and Republic having a pretty decent understanding of what they’re capable of, we don’t know much about them,” says author Charles Soule. “There’s definitely a story to them, which the writers have known since the beginning, but part of the point of Phase III is to underscore that the Nihil and Marchion Ro don’t know enough about the Nameless, either. The Nameless are their own kind of storm.” That storm may be too much for even Ro to control — but it’s still a danger the Jedi must face.
“During this Phase, we’ll see more Jedi come into contact with the Nameless which, needless to say, will not go well for them,” Siglain teases. “The fear brought upon by the Nameless is devastating to the Jedi. How they deal with this physical and emotional threat to themselves — and to the Force — is a big part of our upcoming storytelling.”
