Star Wars: The High Republic has made the leap from notional idea to actual concept, powered to life by a consortium of creatives worldwide in comics, books and so much more yet to come.

Marvel's The High Republic series is drawing critical and consumer acclaim, with the first issue going to three printings (as of this podcast's release), no small feat. Part of that is due to Ario Anindito's fluid yet precise illustrations that soar to life with Mark Morales' inks and Annalisa Leoni's color artistry.

Anindito joined us to talk about his comics-making history, love of Star Wars, what it meant to him when he was asked to take part in a new, secret Star Wars comic and what his plans are for The High Republic moving forward.
