Oppo Rancisis is the only council member mentioned by name in the circumstances surrounding Tanalorr, after Light of the Jedi previously revealed that he was still on the council back in that time period.

There’s also a datapad entry that can be found from Jedi Master Pyt’r Stevar recounting the Emergence.

Similarly, Shattered Moon was devastated as the direct result of an Emergence, which is made clear in the Databank.

In addition to being used throughout the Databank, ‘Nihil’ does get used out loud in a Force echo, by Oppo Rancisis no less. They’re mostly vaguely referred to as marauders throughout the dialogue (one instance puts ‘Nihil’ in the subtitles even though it wasn’t in the spoken line).

The Nihil are an important part of the game’s backstory, with some of their ships briefly seen in a flashback.

Time will tell if the events on Tanalorr become a part of the books and comics. Visual cues taken from the publishing initiative can be seen all over the High Republic material in the game.

The High Republic is obviously a pretty big part of this game’s narrative, both seen in flashbacks and mentioned numerous times throughout the story.

This concept was developed for George Lucas’ unmade live-action Star Wars show, while its visualization came from later Fantasy Flight Games artwork.

The opening shot of the game shows the former Jedi Temple remade into the Imperial Palace, the first time that idea has canonically been shown onscreen.

Spoilers for the complete game ahead so don’t read until you’ve finished it! Beyond the story itself, it also contains a good number of details and connections to every corner of the Star Wars galaxy.

Jedi: Survivor has only been out for a week so far but it’s already cemented its place among my favorite Star Wars video games and maybe Star Wars stories in general.
