WHAT WERE THE FATES OF THOSE INVOLVED? THE ANSWERS TO THE MOST DEVASTATING EVENT OF THE JEDI'S GOLDEN ERA! The events of the year after the fall of STARLIGHT BEACON and the NIHIL's victory have been largely shrouded in mystery…until this moment! The JEDI COUNCIL, struggling with the aftermath, has summoned all JEDI KNIGHTS back from across the galaxy and put in place emergency protocols. A plan to rescue the Order and the galaxy has been devised by MASTER YODA, but it requires him to engage with the dark side…and the ramifications will be severe.
During August of 2023, Soule handled the lettering review for the comic. He hinted at the inclusion of numerous intricacies within the comic's pages and even indicated that Kirak Infil'a, a significant character, would reappear.
