After we say that Star Wars has a sophisticated relationship with loss of life, it’s often about how the franchise is unwilling to let go of its personal previous, or how a want to cheat the ultimate finish has pushed a lot of the collection’ theological explorations just lately. Typically, it simply means it’s important to be persistent as hell to outlive being dragged away by large monsters into the bowels of an exploding area station.
That was the case for younger Wookiee Jedi Burryaga Agaburry, a breakout spotlight of the primary part of Lucasfilm’s prequel publishing initiative Star Wars: The Excessive Republic. The face of a number of youngsters’s storybooks and a supporting character throughout the novels of the primary part of the initiative—set a number of centuries earlier than the Star Wars prequels—Burryaga (Burry to his buddies) seemingly met a dire destiny within the climax of part one in Claudia Grey’s The Fallen Star. There, the Padawan was hauled into the darkish by a gaggle of escaped Rathtars, the tentacled creatures launched in The Drive Awakens, aboard the quickly destabilizing area station Starlight Beacon. Burry was thought useless when the station crash-landed right into a planet shortly after his disappearance, however excellent news! That is Star Wars and we’ll be having none of that, please and thanks.
The information was confirmed as we speak by Lucasfilm throughout an episode of The Excessive Republic Present, a companion webseries hosted by Krystina Arielle. Merely noting that “Burry Lives”—akin to the same declarative assertion made by Star Wars producer Dave Filoni when the destiny of his creation Ahsoka Tano was left unsure throughout the second season of Star Wars Rebels—it was additional confirmed that the main points surrounding Burryaga’s destiny shall be revealed in a brief story contained in Tales of Mild and Life, an upcoming anthology launch making its first-to-market debut at San Diego Comedian-Con later this month.
I imply, on the one hand, I don’t need to sound like I’m advocating for the loss of life of a kid (Burryaga’s age has by no means been explicitly confirmed, however he’s a Padawan, so he’s presumably the Wookiee equal of a tween). On the opposite, there’s something spectacularly foolish a couple of Padawan surviving being hauled away by large monsters even additional deeply into the innards of an area station that was within the means of breaking in half, and then plummeting via the ambiance and crashing right into a planet’s oceans with excessive drive shortly after.
Within the age of the Excessive Republic, when the Jedi had been on the top of their energy, affect, and skill to bullshit loss of life itself, they honestly had been constructed completely different, apparently. Extra particulars about Burryaga’s destiny, and the third and closing part of the Excessive Republic publishing line, shall be revealed throughout the Lucasfilm publishing panel at San Diego Comedian-Con on July 21.
