word of advice ! This mail contains pamperer for Star Wars : The High Republic : Shadows of Starlight # 2
Summary
The High Republic Erahas debuted a new engineering science the Empire could have put to expend in theStar Warstimeline . Set in the centuries before the effect ofThe Phantom Menaceand the prequel trilogy , Lucasfilm’sHigh Republicpublishing initiative has been search an age of peace and prosperity for the Republic and Jedi Order that ’s become darkly taint by themajor threat cognise as the Nihil . To that end , the third stage of the High Republic showcases a newfangled weapon wielded by the predator follow their plan of attack on the Jedi ’s Starlight Beacon .
As seen inStar war : The High Republic : Shadows of Starlight # 2by Charles Soule and Marika Cresta , the Nihil have unleashed the Stormwall , a new defensive artillery adequate to of sealing off an entire realm of the galaxy , prevent any ships from entering its occlusion geographical zone at lightspeed . Now known as Nihil Space , the piranha ' leader Marchion Rohas staked his claim on this vast subdivision of the extragalactic nebula and all those living within it . It ’s a major declaration of defiance against the Republic ’s influence in the Outer Rim .
Likewise , this new technology has been activated in the aftermath of the Nihil ’s end of Starlight Beacon , a triumph that ’s made even the Jedi fearful of what could come next . However , Palpatine ’s future Empire could have greatly used the Stormwallduring the original trilogy as well .
What ’s the best way to catch Star Wars ? Here ’s everything you want to know to watch in exit or timeline order , and how to include the television show .
The High Republic’s Jedi Order Came To Fear The Nihil
The Nihil Knew How To Deal With Jedi
When it comes to the Nihil , there was plenty for the Jedi to revere even before the Stormwall was spark . first , the Nihil had their unique Path Engines , devices that reserve their numerous ships to traverse and jump-start through hyperspace with baneful accuracy across very inadequate distance , a central advantage during their raid and space battles with the Jedi and Republic . Furthermore , Marchion Ro also has command over theancient Force predatory animal known as the Nameless .
The Nameless feed on the vigor of strength - sensitives with the ability to completely paralyse even the strongest Jedi with hallucinogenic affright . Jedi will also die if they ’re in the proximity of a Nameless for too long , becoming nothing more than rock stalk after their energy and lifespan force is drained by the eating predator . To that end , unleash the Nameless was a vital ground why Starlight fell , and why theJedi have since spark off their Emergency Protocolsin the aftermath of the great release ( which tragically had several casualty ) .
The Empire Should Have Used The Stormwall
Did It Become Outdated?
As if the Path Engines and Nameless were n’t enough , the Nihil now have the Stormwall and their own region of space fold off from the rest of the galaxy . create using a serial publication of twist known as seeds , the engineering science was developed using the work of scientist Chancey Yarrow on gravity well projection , creating an stilted well strong enough to rip ships out of hyperspace . As such , it ’s surprising that the next Empire did n’t apply this same technology to further oppress the galaxy .
The Empire could have activated Stormwalls around satellite they seek to penalize by using them as blockade , thereby cut back off support and aid . Additionally , they could have set up a Stormwall around theconstruction of the Death Star , providing yet another stratum of Defense Department beyond what was seen in the originalStar Warstrilogy . That say , the lack of Stormwall technology during the Skywalker saga does suggest that the Jedi and/or High Republic will eventually find a way to outfox the Stormwall , likely render it outdated or the engineering science being lose like the Nihil ’s Path Engines were hundred of years subsequently in theStar Warscanon .
