- This was a time when powerful figures looked to capitalize and change the course of the galaxy, a unique storyline with one figure aiming to put an end to this "New Republic!"
- This is made possible with Yupe Tashu from Palpatine's inner circle leading the way. That is all with the "Acolytes of the Beyond".
- A special encounter and partnership is made with Reyna Oskure a very significant character!
- Reyna Oskure becomes part of Tashu's and Governor Adelhard's plan!
It's worth noting the introduction of this new character. She may be someone who shakes things up as things evolve and time moves ahead and creates new mysteries to unravel. The newest Anzati makes waves by entering this timeline as Reyna Oskure joins forces with this special group!
Working With The Acolytes
This issue from Marvel Comics really changes the game!
The newly revealed Anzati character Reyna Oskure. is seen joining forces not just with The Acolytes of the Beyond, and working with other factions! Even so, she is one that seems detached and not totally dedicated. Being so old, she has lived long enough to have seen lots of rise and falls across history and knows how politics and the dark side really play. There's nothing that appears too serious to this particular Anzati!
The Importance Of The Anzati's Return
This series could prove to be one of the most significant parts in Star Wars as a storyline is set after "The Empire Strikes Back" and will carry its characters all the way through to the "Battle of Jakku!" For any fans of Star Wars you'll definitely want to see how the Anzati figure impacts all the stories that will play out for future adventures, this special moment that gives fans new context about one of Star Wars's many beloved groups!
