Star Wars: The High Republic #9

A young woman in battered armor holds a battle-worn helmet at her sides, her steady, determined gaze dominating Phil Noto's quietly striking cover for this ninth chapter of Marvel's High Republic saga. The story title — "Jedi No More" — paired with that scarred chest plate hints at a figure standing at a crossroads, neither fully what she was nor yet what she might become. With Cavan Scott writing and Ario Anindito and Rachelle Rosenberg bringing the interior world to life, this 2021 issue feels like a meaningful turn in one of Star Wars' most ambitious storytelling eras.
