Episode notes

THE STAR WARS MANGA CONTINUES WHERE THE NIHIL ATTACK! In ep 99 of SWCIC, Mike continues on his journey through the manga set in the High Republic era! This volume continues the journeys of Jedi Knight Lily Tora-Asi, two excitable younglings and Lily’s padawan Keerin, all on the planet Banchii. Some familiar faces from the High Republic Adventures comics (by Daniel José Older) appear and the younglings even participate in the great jedi race aboard Starlight Beacon, but it’s not all fun and games as the notorious Nihil prepare to attack the temple once again – will our heroes be able to stop it?

Last week, Mike answered the question from Revenge Of The Sith; what was that business on Cato Neimoidia? This question is answered in a spoiler-free book review about recently released Brotherhood by Mike Chen! Set in the first few weeks of the Clone Wars (just after Ep II: Attack Of The Clones) this story delves into the shift in Anakin & Obi-Wan’s relationship once Anakin is promoted from padawan to jedi while also dealing with crisis on Cato Neimoidia plus this book introduces a Clone Wars character, shows what Padmé & Anakin are like when aware from prying eyes as well as much more!
