Star Wars Notebook: Full Circle, High Republic & Durge
Today’s Star Wars Notebook is filled with stories that flew below the shields….
Is there such thing as a light news week in Star Wars, this was it.
However, with all the Marvel and Disney Parks news that was dropping here in mid-March, I am not necessarily complaining. After all, May the 4th is not far off. And with that special date comes The Bad Batch – a continuation of sorts of the seminal Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
Flying In Low
Of course, there was news, it just flew under the sensors, like an X-wing.

With X-wings in mind, and for everyone who has a couple of padawans, the Star Wars Kids channel on YouTube has plenty for younglings. Recently, Star Wars Full CIrcle, hosted by young Jedi Joselyn, is connecting the dots in a galaxy far, far away.

Meanwhile Back In The Day
Down the dial, the official Star Wars YouTube account is bringing the “newest” era of the SW-universe to light via their Characters of Star Wars: The High Republic shorts.

Thus far, the shorts have taken on Jedi, Padawans, the era’s villains, and other characters, too.
- Jedi Knight Vernestra Rwoh
- Jedi Master Avar Kriss
- The Nihil
- Padawan Bell Zettifar
- Chancellor Lina Soh
- The Drengir
- Jedi Master Sskeer
- Marchion Ro
- Padawan Burryaga Agaburry
And the latest:
Then there is one more story that might not have hit the Holonet in a way befitting its stature.
Sing Of Durge
One of the scariest bounty hunters of the old Expanded Universe, Durge, has returned to canon.
Jamie Lovett of ComicBook.com explained:
Durge, one of Star Wars‘ most fearsome bounty hunters, is entering the new Star Wars canon in June. Durge’s returns in Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #11, part of the Boba Fett-focused War of the Bounty Hunters crossover event (and one of the Star Wars comics receiving a Pride Month variant). Lucasfilm created Durge for the Clone Wars multimedia event in 2003. He first appeared in the Star Wars: Republic comic book series and later in Genndy Tartakovsky’s original Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon (which becomes available to stream on Disney+ in April). The Bounty Hunter proved more than capable of going toe-to-toe with entires squads of Jedi knights.
