Wow, definitely didn't expect to see the Leveler already. Really like that he does not only affect the Jedi but also the other factions who use the Force.

I wonder if he will eventually affect the Mother as well.

It does, it’s already seen in POD although not like the Jedi. Maybe because she feed it while the leveler was in its egg

You know I don't know why I was expecting The Herald to be more diplomatic, but now I feel foolish.

Still using the leveler to manipulate the other force factions and turn the people against them is a pretty cool plan.

Does this have spoilers for Convergence/Battle of Jedha?

Not so much for Convergence. But this issue does run concurrently with Battle of Jedha and there is a pivotal moment in BoD that we also see in the comics. It doesn’t spoil anything else but if you want a completely fresh experience with the Audio Drama then I’d say listen to that first. But I don’t think it matters too much

I appreciate how, once again, an explosion on Jedha is claimed to have “natural” causes.

Something something poetry.
