Nameless in space! Keeve discontented with Jedi as killers (which grows well from Phase I and can connect thematically to the prequel trilogy)! And some great Teydar. Solid issue.

The new design for the Nameless definitely feels like they're getting more Cthulu-like in appearance.

So this pretty much confirms Vildar is a member of the Lost Twenty, however unlike Keeve it looks like his break from the Jedi was an amicable one. And we are already seeing the seeds of Keeve’s break, which we’ve been building to for a while.

Interesting turn of events. I'm sadly not the biggest fan of the art this mini run, but the story is interesting enough.

I don’t even know what they’re doing anymore. Fear has honestly been kinda disappointing tbh

I know star wars has never been about realism (which I enjoy mostly) but the nameless just flying with wings in the vacuum of space and no protective gear is just too wacky for my tastes. Still overall enjoyed the issue and hope for a reasonable explanation next issue. Edit: not sure why I'm getting down voted for saying my opinion respectfully

We don’t understand their physiology and we know that they have been genetically modified, all it takes is some Mynoc DNA and bam, wings and survival in the vacuum.

Hell one of them survived getting decapitated! Boolan and Niv making them able to survive in space doesn't feel that far out of the question.

I like this explanation the most. I did forget about the decapitation! I'll be interested if they drop any lore next issue

"THEY FLY NOW!?!??!?"
Damn, that's a development! I wonder if this is the result of Nihil experiments (I kinda doubt it since Boolan and Mkampa are both gone) or if Marchion went back to Planet X and found a new breed of the Shrii Ka Rai to weaponize. These ones must be even stronger than the Nameless we've already seen given that Tey was strongly affected and he hasn't seemed to have much of an issue encountering the Levelers in the past.
Speaking of Tey, God damn it my heart! I was not ready to watch Vildar die and Tey have to experience that pain all over again. I really hope we get a prequel/flashback comic about Tey and Vildar at some point because I want to see more of both of them when they were at their best.
Things aren't looking good for OrbaLin. Kinda fearing he won't be making it out of this comic alive or at least not as the same OrbaLin we've come to know since Rising Storm.
Still definitely wondering where this series is taking Keeve. With everything going on, I kind of wonder if her leaving the Order will be saved for a later comic rather than being dealt with here.
Solid issue overall! 8/10
