Via Starwars.com, we have preview pages from next week’s Star Wars High Republic Adventures #7! We catch up with Farzala, trapped in a Hutt dungeon, while Qort and Affie Hollow hide from mercenaries aboard the Vessel! Meanwhile, Jedi Master Obratuk is still sleeping. You can check out the full preview below, but first a little analysis of firsts and key events.
There is one interesting scene. While imprisoned, Farzala recalls lost Jedi. Among them are some first comic appearances (in this case cameos). He reminisces about Loden Greatstorm, Rah Barocci, and Jora Malli. It’s unlikely that Rah Barocci and Jora Malli will continue to have impact as they are confirmed dead, but these are their first comic cameos. Jora Malli was first mentioned in comics in High Republic #1. For those who have not read Cavan Scott’s The Rising Storm novel, Loden Greatstorm’s fate is still unknown. On the same page, Farzala flashes back to his teaching from his master, Obratuk Glii. Obratuk first appeared in the last issue, #6, but this is the first time he talks. Let the debate around cameos versus first appearances commence!
Finally, Master Tal Bota makes another cameo appearance in the holos that the younglings watched. Tal Bota made his first cameo in the last issue, #6, he doesn’t speak here, so I’m not sure this adds much in terms of making it a first appearance.
