Star Wars The High Republic - Tumblr Posts

So, i had this idea

We all know that Avar was described as one of the brightest lights of the Jedi

We also know that the Daughter, or the winged goddess, is like the embodiment of the pure light side of the force

Idk I kinda thought those two fit really good together…

So I did some sketches of early Padawan Avar, Elzar and Stellan (because I’m working on a fanfic and also I was wondering how they looked so why not) and I experimented a bit and then I did some little doodles and anyways I like it a lot (sidenote: I used some references from Pinterest)

Yes, Avar has short hair, yes, Stellan has a ponytail and longer hair and yes, Elzar has been running around with he same hairstyle since he was 10

Also, Stellan kinda seems younger than the other two lol but that’s just my bad drawing (I actually headcanon Avar being the youngest one, Stellan the oldest and Elzar the problem middle child (even tho Avar is as chaotic as him (and Stellan is just tired of both of them)

My personal favorite is them napping :)

…

ok so i haven’t read any star wars books but i want to try to find some to start reading so does anyone have any recommendations on some good ones?

was thinking of getting the first high republic book which i know i’ll probably have to take a second to get used to since it’s 200 years before any of the trilogy takes place but the concept peaked my internet.

OH MY GOODNESS!! I was at a bookstore earlier & I can’t believe what I found!! I didn’t even know Padme had books… 🤯

AND THIS IS EVEN CRAZIER!!

Reath's my favourite character from the high republic so of course I had to make his lightsaber hilt. Made with birch, tulip, panga panga, and xylia. This is only the second hilt I've made and there's some parts that don't quite fit together but I'm still pretty proud of it.

Stellan’s lightsaber hilt has got to be one of the prettiest lightsabers in Star Wars, so I wanted to see if I could replicate it. This hilt is made with cedar, chamfuta, purple heart, and padauk. I turned the main shaft of the hilt on the lathe, and used the scroll saw with various sanders, hand files, and chisels to make the cross guards and details. I also used one of the chisels to accidentally stab my finger which was fun… As with the others, some of the joins still aren’t quite perfect but this is still one of my favourite things I’ve made.

Had me some top surgery recently so I haven’t been able to I haven’t been able to do anything particularly physical for a few weeks. I haven’t actually drawn for the sake of drawing for a while and also have limited experience with markers so there’s definitely space to improve. Reath and Ram’s shenanigans in Midnight Horizon might just be my favourite thing.

In honour of more Avar content, I made Avar Kriss’s lightsaber, with cedar and gonçalo alves with a spalted, erm… wood, stand (I don’t know what kind of wood that is it wasn’t labelled when I bought it).

Avar’s hilt is a little less complicated than Stellan’s, this one took around a week compared to about 2 weeks for Stellan’s, but it’s still a great design even among high republic lightsabers. I still haven’t quite figured out how to make things fit completely perfectly but generally the gaps are small enough to just fill in. I also ran into a small wormhole in the gonçalo alves I had to fill in which I’m hoping isn’t that noticeable.

The Eye of Darkness was everything I needed. My boy Reath got 4 whole mentions, including one physical appearance (yes I was counting, don’t judge me). Also Burryaga just allowing Ember to burn his fur so he could give her pets is so cute.

My lightsaber shelf is getting full, however, I do not care. Here’s Bell Zettifar’s lightsaber, made with palm, olive, and sycamore, with a cherry stand.

This was the first thing I’ve used sanding sealer for as the black grain in the palm is very hard and splinters out while turning so it’s difficult to get a smooth finish. I’m not sure if it’s done anything but it’s not splintery so I think it’s okay.

Bell’s lightsaber is much simpler than some others I’ve made. It only took me 3-4 days as it doesn’t have many extra parts that aren’t part of the main turned core part of the hilt, and those that there were were very simple, I didn’t even need the scroll saw.

New lightsaber just dropped, and this one stabbed me personally multiple times. Those spikes are, in fact, spiky.

Ty Yorrick’s lightsaber, made with leadwood, mango, sycamore, and a tiny piece of redheart, with a beech(?) stand.

The mango looks really nice but the piece was full of fine cracks which did make it difficult to work with, especially the spike pieces which kept breaking. The sanding on the spikes probably could’ve been a little neater but if you don’t look too closely you can’t really tell.

Ty’s such a cool character, I hope we get more of her in phase 3

Wooden Jedi vector, made with cedar, panga panga, redheart, and lacewood, with a cherry stand.

This was quite awkward to figure out because there isn’t one specific way a vector should look. All the official art is very slightly different so I had to figure out the right shapes and proportions for everything so it still looked enough like a vector. It’s not massively symmetrical but the Art of the High Republic book mentions that ship models for Star Wars actually have built in asymmetry to make it look more lifelike, so yeah that’s all definitely intentional I did that on purpose, definitely…

The joints on this could definitely be stronger, it’s literally just held together with glue, but as long as you don’t swoosh it too hard it does hold itself together.

Some fore edge paintings of the phase 3 books. I wasn’t quite sure on the design for these but I think I kind of got what I was going for. I didn’t have too much of an issue with the paint cracking either, or at least not too much of an issue I couldn’t fix later. The pages curled up quite a bit on Escape from Valo so I’ve had it in the clamp for a few days, hopefully the pages have flattened out a bit.

These books keep getting gayer and gayer and I’m very much here for it. Escape from Valo was so fun, all of the younglings were adorable and I would die for them
