Phase II winds the clock back a hundred and fifty years to a Jedi Order that has not yet learned the lessons Phase I will teach it, and to the Path of the Open Hand.
Ten issues from Marvel between 12 October 2022 and 24 May 2023, written by Cavan Scott. This is the Phase II relaunch of the ongoing title — a separate volume from the 2021 series, not a continuation of its numbering.
This run is in the catalogue but has not been written up. Everything above is verified publication data; there is no opinion here yet, and a placeholder review would be worse than none.
The arc breakdown and issue list below are the useful part for now.
