Note as well that the KOR are being asked to kill Palpatine, who is their master. Lots of potential betrayals being set up

Very true, but that's also assuming the KOR were already in Sidious's back pocket at this point.

We could also see how the KOR ultimately came to serve Palpatine in this comic.

Altogether, there's just a ton to look forward to in Crimson Reign. Might be the most excited I've been for a Star Wars comic run in a while.

Recent solicit for CR #2 states that Oochi is "Force blinded"... Which makes me wonder if Qi'ra is indeed using some sort of Sith relic to control his mind.

There were a lot of interesting tidbits in the first issue.

From the canonization of Prince Xizor, to the revelation that Qi'ra learned quite a bit from Maul in matters related to the Force and is using the Archivist to extensively explore the ways of the Jedi/Sith(in the hopes of using said knowledge against Vader and Palpatine), to Yoda perhaps playing some kind of role in this, to the Knights of Ren potentially facing off against Vader, etc.

This event should be fun. thumb up

And the promo quote says we can look forward to "epic feats of the Force". Wonder wtf they have in store there?

I liked Archivist/Dagobah scene:

This issue also confirmed that the Empire only destroyed "one of" Yoda's lightsabers(back in Soule's Vader series):
(please log in to view the image)

Which tidies up Luke possessing Yoda's saber in BoBF.

The Archivist (Madelin Sun) is a pretty new character made for the Crimson Reign series of comics. She's a minor Force sensitive who Qi'ra hired to track down a surviving Jedi to use against the Emperor.

She was searching for Yoda. Qi'ra realized Yoda must be alive still, since the Empire never officially announced the Grand Master's death. The only reason the Empire would hesitate to declare Yoda was dead would be if Palpatine was worried Yoda would resurface some day.

The Archivist actually found Dagobah, and knew Yoda was there. But her experience in the cave made her decide it wouldn't be right to actually tell either the Emperor or Qi'ra where Yoda was.

......What? Sorry, but that has to be the dumbest reason ever.

I... Didn't tell you the "reason" she decided it wouldn't be right. Just that it wouldn't be right. You're really misinterpreting what I said. Luke decided it wouldn't be right to kill his dad. That doesn't mean Luke's reason to not kill his dad was "it wouldn't be right."


Crimson Reign #3 is a character study (as is every chapter of Crimson Reign so far, and most work Charles Soule has written in general). To give you the reason the Archivist made the choices she did would basically require me to explain the entire comic issue page by page to you. So I summarized. Suffice to say, her experience in the cave on Dagobah gave her a drastically altered outlook on life, philosophy, and the Force. And this altered outlook made her realize handing Yoda over to an Empire she knows to be controlled by a Sith would be the wrong decision. As would handing Yoda over to Qi'ra, who is trying to build a galaxy-wide criminal empire. Hence, "it wouldn't be right to hand Yoda over to Qi'ra or the Empire."

Implying Yoda would allow to be “handed” to someone like some defenseless elder

You really don't think the Empire could take Yoda if they were given his location? He's powerful, sure, but you know the moment the Empire learns his location, they're sending a whole fleet to bombard his location, then sending Vader down to finish off whatever's left. It's not like the Archivist would have to physically take Yoda to Qi'ra or the Empire. All she would need to do is give a location, which she had.
