Star Wars Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade

Product Information

There Are No Therapists: Just like with Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi fail to fully understand Iskat's pain and trauma, which would lead her turning to the Dark Side. Iskat’s skin didn’t show a blush, but she felt the heat of shame at being reprimanded in front of Tualon and the others. Considering what they were about to face on the planet below, a rousing speech would’ve been more appropriate than public censure, or even some whispered reassurance. Tualon went silent and looked politely away so as not to entice her with further conversation. I hope readers who have had a similar experience will connect with Iskat's journey, and that they'll realize they were never broken; we are all, as Yoda says, luminous beings. Of course, that doesn't mean we need to be violent, like Iskat ... but everyone deserves to find what makes them feel more alive and do more of it.

Being a Junior Novel means that it’s mainly targeted toward kids and teenagers. The cover reflects this by showing three youngsters watching a holoprojector. Their faces reveal excitement and desire for adventure.

In the first look inside the book, complete with the exclusive reveal of a limited-edition poster, Iskat Akaris finds herself on the brink of war as she arrives on Geonosis before the battle breaks out.

I drew inspiration from both Legends — the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith novelization, to be exact — and more recent works (especially Mike Chen’s Star Wars: Brotherhood). Call-Forward: Iskat's fight with Klefan Opus, right down to the beheading of the Jedi Master to end the fight, is how the Ninth Sister/Masana Tide would meet her end at the hands of Cal Kestis, though while Cal killed her to free her from her servitude to the Empire, Iskat kills Klefan to help the Empire's extermination of the Jedi. Iskat carries around guilt and anxiety because of this incident as well as fear and frustration with her master and other older Jedi because of their insistence on controlling her inner chaos and suppressing her feelings with meditation and repetition of the Jedi Code.

Rise of the Red Blade dives deeper into everything that happened before and during the Battle of Geonosis. It’s mainly from Iskat’s perspective but I still find it fascinating to learn more about it. Episode II heavily focused on the battle inside the arena where Padmé, Anakin, and Obi-Wan almost got executed but there are many other Jedi that fight and died there.

Success!

With her Master dead, a newly found joy for aggression, and all the emotions contained inside Iskat’s heart it was only a matter of time before she fell. Inevitable Downfall

Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade was written by Delilah S. Dawson, the author of Star Wars: Phasma. Penguin Random House is the publisher, this book is set to be released on July 18th, 2023. Sana Starros gets her own Marvel mini-series Iskat’s journey takes her from the depths of grief to the elation of discovering her true self, or what she thinks is her true self. One thing we know about the dark side is that it always lies. You’ll have to read the book to see what finally pushes her over the precipice from good to evil. Her true power was first shown during an accident that occurred when doing a simple exercise. The young red-skinned Padawan did something that no Padawan should be able to do. As a result, someone was permanently injured and everyone changed how they look at her, especially the Jedi Masters. Iskat Akaris is the star of Rise of the Red Blade. Starting as a Padawan to Master Sember Vey, Iskat is nearly a pariah amongst her peers. She struggles with control and inner peace, and as a youngling, her emotions exploded and caused a column to fall on and gravely injure another young Jedi. After finishing this book, I think Delilah S. Dawson might be a Sith. Just kidding. Sort of. She managed to write a really complex, nearly sympathetic, portrait of the inner workings of a person during their long fall to the Dark Side. (Could she have written the prequel trilogy, please? Anakin needed a treatment this good.) The writing itself feels seductive in that it makes the Dark Side sound almost reasonable, Iskat’s anger against the Jedi almost make sense.This was a really enjoyable read; I think anyone who is a fan of the Clone Wars era or the Rise of the Galactic Empire would love this book. This starts off as a story of a Jedi padawan named Iskat who just doesn’t fit in and seemingly is always messing up. This is not an illustrated novel so most of the images you’ll see are for illustrative purposes. However, the last segment includes panels from the Darth Vader comics by Charles Soule. Plot Preview

This is a fun companion novel to Mike Chen’s Brotherhood as several chapters happen concurrently between both books. This does drive me to re-read a portion of Brotherhood as I could’ve sworn Brotherhood alludes to a number of hastily organized Knighting ceremonies post-Geonosis before Anakins, however, in this book it is listed as the first of such ceremonies. Iskat Akaris first appeared in the nineteenth issue of the 2017 comic series Star Wars: Darth Vader, written by Charles Soule, illustrated by Giuseppe Camuncoli, and published by Marvel Comics [5] on August 8, 2018. [10] She was first identified in a StarWars.com post detailing the highlights from a New York Comic-Con panel where the novel Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade by Delilah S. Dawson, starring Akaris, was announced on October 9, 2022. [7] Appearances [ ] The Barnes & Noble edition of Inquisitor – Rise of the Red Blade comes with a poster of Iskat Akaris wielding the lightsaber of the Inquisitors.

Retailers:

One of the things you’ll immediately notice is all the similarities with Anakin Skywalker but also the differences in how both were treated. Since her early days, Iskat showed qualities many wouldn’t deem proper of a future Jedi. Impulsiveness, resentment, a strong necessity to prove herself, and most importantly, great uncontrolled power. After reading Inquisitor: Rise of the Red Blade we’ll know more about Iskat Akari’s early days as a Jedi Padawan, her promotion to Jedi Knight, and the inevitable fall to the dark side. A Young Jedi Promise Iskat Akaris was able to use the Force to detect ripples and locate an individual, and was also able to use move objects [5] as large as airspeeders [4] with the Force from a considerable distance. [5] As a Pkorian, Akaris also possessed senses keener than most humanoids, particularly hearing. [1] Equipment [ ]
