Star Wars: The High Republic’s final arc will force Keeve Trennis to face her fears – and her future with the Jedi

Marvel’s Star Wars: The High Republic range comes to an end this year with a “galaxy-shattering” final arc from writer Cavan Scott and artist Marika Cresta. Star Wars: The High Republic – Fear of the Jedi #1 is the first part of a five-issue story which sees the Jedi gearing up for a deadly confrontation with the marauding forces of the Nihil – one which will force Keeve Trennis to make a life-changing decision.

The ominous title Fear of the Jedi refers to a question that Scott posed early in the development of the High Republic concept: what scares the Jedi? The answer, it seems, will have a huge personal impact on protagonist Keeve Trennis. Talking with ComicBook, Scott said, “I attempt to answer it, focusing on the fears on one particular Jedi: Keeve Trennis… We know from the 2019 audio drama, Dooku: Jedi Lost, Keeve goes on to become one of the Lost, Jedi Masters who leave the Order. This last series will reveal why.”
