#the high republic: phase 2

[vergencescatter]

One of those pivotal moments in history. Certainly it is one of the most iconic events in the High Republic era.

In the moment, as the Final Protector fell, reading how it happened (both in the novel and comics) felt to me as though the currents produced from the crash had enough force to shift the future path of the entire galaxy. The symbolism alone was astonishing.

I don't think anybody has made a post about this yet so I will.

*inhales*

Zoraida Cordova recently shared details about her next High Republic book in phase 3 and we're getting a Greylark return!!

Go check out her Instagram post to read the whole caption.

I'm so excited!! I'm pretty sure Zenny is the character on the left with the cool hair. My dream would be for his descendants to come from him AND Gella but that's "not the jedi way." However, there's no writer I trust with Axel more than Zoraida.

August 27th can't get here fast enough!

So I finished Cataclysm today and tried to read another non Star Wars book to pass the time, and I came to an interesting conclusion.

Axel Greylark

I have so many thoughts about Convergence. I'm still piecing them together.

One that stands out is how I'm at a bit of a loss with Axel Greylark. I can't say I'm not surprised with how the book concludes. Particularly interesting is the final few moments of Axel in his prison cell at Prison Barge CA73Z. It's revealed, on the one hand, that he often considered the idea of sending a holo to Phan-tu and Xiri, and to his mother. I read this as him being sincere; whether out of insecurity or self-loathing, or something related, it is suggested that he always stops himself from doing so. This is insightful, because I think such instance where he wants to send a holo (assuming a nice one), or those where he reflects on remnants of his affection for Gella, show the good side of Axel.

On the other hand, although I've read some people complain that Axel's development is inconsistent, I actually think his story so far is fairly consistent in the sense that there is something bipolar about the way in which he interacts with himself and others. For example, in the final paragraphs, he thinks of Gella as though with deep fondness and care. But then, in a flash, these thoughts trigger him to spiral into a state of destructive self-loathing, yearning to feed his "chaos". Like how he picks fights when he is bored in prison, and that he enjoyed the pain when someone named Zygerrian broke his nose. It's these two sides that are consistent throughout: his self-destructive spirals that leaves him to fear that he will hurt others around him, perhaps even those he cares deeply about (his relationship with his droid QN-1 comes to mind). In prison, he thinks to himself that with him locked in a cell maybe he will then only be able to hurt himself.

What is probably a decent approximation of the truth is that Axel's mental state completely eroded after his father's death, and after so much time in a self-destructive he has a craving for nihilism (to destroy everything because everything for him was destroyed). I imagine the machinations of the Mother didn't help in reinforcing his inner "chaos". It's clear, at least on my reading, that Axel is not a member of the Path, nor is he committed to its future; but the Mother has a way of enchanting people whilst knowing what bruises to push in order to manipulate them. At the same time my impression is that Axel knows that the Mother is manipulating him, but his nihilism is pragmatic. Something about their arrangement also served a need in him.

Do we know that Silandra's shield is powered by Kyber, same as a lightsaber? I love the notion but my memory is fuzzy

I'm not entirely sure how I remained delusional enough to believe Marda would somehow see the path for what it was all the way through Path of Deceit and Path of Vengeance considering I was fully aware she had to be Marchion Ro's ancestor from the start
