Republic 82, a comic book installment, marks the eighty-second and next-to-last entry in the Star Wars: Republic series, which falls under the umbrella of Star Wars Legends. John Ostrander penned the story, Jan Duursema provided the illustrations, and Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on January 11, 2006. The narrative, entitled "Hidden Enemy Part Two," centers on Quinlan Vos's experiences during the Battle of Kashyyyk amidst the unfolding Great Jedi Purge.
The Wookiee's home planet, Kashyyyk, is the site of an intense battle. The Republic's clone armies, under the leadership of Jedi Masters Yoda, Luminara Unduli, and Quinlan Vos, are on the verge of claiming victory. However, unbeknownst to them, this triumph will pave the way for a devastating betrayal that will forever alter the course of the galaxy. Only one possibility for survival exists, and only one path remains open to those who manage to live through it…
The Jedi Order's destiny is already determined, but a solitary Jedi might discover a route toward the future… or toward their demise.
Dark Horse Comics initially released Republic 82 on January 11, 2006. The issue was later re-released in February 2008 as part of Hasbro's Star Wars Comic Pack 41, which also featured Quinlan Vos and Commander Faie action figures.
Randy Stradley, the editor, revealed that the original plan for Republic 82 was to depict Quinlan Vos's death during the Great Jedi Purge, adapting the character's scripted death from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Nevertheless, after the scene was removed from the movie, the decision was made to only have Vos injured in the comic.
