But still, it was just a rock, wasn't it?" Leox Gyasi, the Vessel's pilot, confirms that Geode is a Vintian, and that Geode's actual name is not pronounceable for species with mouths, adding to Reath's confusion. About as tall and slightly wider than Reath himself, dark gray, with rounded edges and a flinty, flaky surface. A particularly disbelieving Padawan Reath Silas reflects, "Standing in the corner of the cockpit was a rock. As I have said before, this series is truly setting up how and why the Jedi fell so easily to Darth Sideous.In Claudia Gray's Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark, Geode is first introduced. I think another book comes out soon (looks like a YA novel), so we will not have to wait long to see where this story is going. At first I thought maybe he was a Jedi who left the Order or maybe his father was (maybe a disgraced Jedi, are those a thing?). There is definitely more to his origin (or did the comics already tell that story?). Marchion Ro has a crew of all droids (some kind of elite, enforcer droids). If Master Stokes dies or comes out of her coma and is unable to continue his training, maybe Bell will be the Jedi that falls to the Dark Side (look, someone has to fall at some point, right? Someone will fall and become an apprentice to whoever the Sith lord is at this point…I thought it might be Elzar, but one of the comics with Luke kind of put the kibosh on that theory since Luke meets a Force imprint of Master Elzar or something like that). ![]() Where does Bell Zetifar go from here? He believes Burryaga is still alive and will search for him. Then Burryaga sacrificed himself against the Rathtars, so Elzar could open the bay doors. Stellan sacrifices himself to make sure that Starlight Beacon does not crash into a city. Orla Jareni, Regald Coll, and Nib Assek die by the Leveler. Oh and he can rebuild couplings, even though it is something no one does anymore. Station is falling, but no one knows? Oh, Leox knows how to calculate orbital position with a sextant. And Leox? Being the Deus Ex Machina of any situation. ![]() When he jumps in front of the blaster and the bad guy thinks “how did he move over here so fast?” (paraphrasing), I cracked up. The idea of a sentient rock is funny and brings comic relief. Also, screw all the haters who do not like Geode. I am not going to lie, I may have shed a tear when it seemed like he was dead. Can we talk about how great Leox and Geode are? Gray stated earlier that Leox was like the opposite of Han Solo and that she imagined him as 90s Matthew McConaughey. I wonder how Stellan’s death will affect Elzar and Avar. As Elzar likes to say, Stellan is the pole star in the constellation of Stellan, Elza, and Avar. He believes in the Jedi Order and the Republic. The Stellan fall is more tragic since he is basically this era’s Obi-Wan. I liked that the Fallen Star refers to two things: Starlight Beacon (which literally fell onto a planet) and Stellan Gios. That said, the Jedi could feel something was wrong, but they just chalked it up to stress. The Jedi being weakened from the Leveler and not knowing which ones would live or die made it nerve-wracking. The tension in this book was incredible. I cannot wait to see where things go from here. This would be the Empire of this particular saga. Anyways, this book ended up being my favorite one so far. Or maybe this is the transition to the next phase. I think this book marks the end of year one in The High Republic.
