The High Republic Adventures: Quest of the Jedi is a one-off comic book within the Star Wars: The High Republic series, specifically for Phase II of the expansive multimedia initiative. Claudia Gray penned the story, while Fico Ossio and Sebastian Cheng provided the illustrations. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on April 26, 2023.
On the ancient planet of Angcord, the Force manifests itself in unexpected ways. When the renowned Jedi Knight Barnabus Vim [sic] and his eager Padawan Bly [sic] journey to this enigmatic world in search of an age-old Force artifact, they soon realize they've stumbled upon something far greater than anticipated.
But what exactly is this mysterious Echo Stone, and how does its existence impact the continued survival of everyone who calls Angcord their home?
The High Republic Adventures: Quest of the Jedi was initially revealed during an episode of Star Wars: The High Republic Show, with an initial launch date set for October 19, 2022. Ultimately, its publication occurred on April 26, 2023.
The promotional material for Quest of the Jedi featured on Dark Horse Comics's official webpage suggested that the kyber crystals belonging to Kevmo Zink and Zallah Macri were incorporated into the Kyber Arch following their deaths during the mission to Dalna. However, The High Republic: Path of Deceit had previously established that the Path of the Open Hand had confiscated their lightsabers, and consequently their crystals, before their bodies were discovered. This would logically preclude their crystals from being added to the Kyber Arch. The final published version included an added sentence confirming that the crystals of Macri and Zink were not part of the Arch.
