Star Wars Confirms Jedi Wookiee Burryaga Agaburry’s Destiny

After we say that Star Wars has an advanced relationship with demise, 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 series’ theological explorations not too long ago. Typically, it simply means you need to be persistent as hell to outlive being dragged away by big monsters into the bowels of an exploding house station.

That was the case for younger Wookiee Jedi Burryaga Agaburry, a breakout spotlight of the primary section of Lucasfilm’s prequel publishing initiative Star Wars: The High Republic. The face of a number of youngsters’s storybooks and a supporting character throughout the novels of the primary section of the initiative—set a number of centuries earlier than the Star Wars prequels—Burryaga (Burry to his associates) seemingly met a dire destiny within the climax of section 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 house station Starlight Beacon. Burry was thought lifeless 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 right this moment 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 through the second season of Star Wars Rebels—it was additional confirmed that the small print surrounding Burryaga’s destiny will probably 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 demise 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 few Padawan surviving being hauled away by big monsters even additional deeply into the innards of an area station that was within the strategy of breaking in half, and then plummeting via the environment and crashing right into a planet’s oceans with excessive power shortly after.

Within the age of the Excessive Republic, when the Jedi have been on the peak of their energy, affect, and skill to bullshit demise itself, they really have been constructed totally different, apparently. Extra particulars about Burryaga’s destiny, and the third and final phase of the Excessive Republic publishing line, will probably be revealed through the Lucasfilm publishing panel at San Diego Comedian-Con on July 21.
