Star Wars: The High Republic - Fear of the Jedi #1

Set during the golden age of the Jedi Order, this 2025 Marvel series opener drops readers into a tense standoff on Phil Noto's striking cover, where a determined young woman, a white-bearded elder Jedi crackling with Force lightning, a Wookiee, a small green figure, and a reptilian enemy armed with a blaster face off across a clash of blue and green lightsabers. The banner proudly notes the presence of Kelnacca from The Acolyte, adding an exciting connection between this story and the broader High Republic era. Writer Cavan Scott and artist Marika Cresta, with colors by Jim Campbell, promise a rich and layered adventure in "Planet of Fear" — a chapter title that feels entirely earned given the collision of characters bristling across this cover.
