High Republic is just going to get bigger and bigger
For what it’s worth my son the big Star Wars fan thought High Republic was very poorly written. Not interested in reading anymore it was so bad. And this is a kid who read all kinds of terrible Star Wars books the last few years. He says this one is by far the worst he’s ever read.
