Ty Yorrick (and Drewen) return in a Phase III-set story from Cavan Scott and Rachael in The High Republic Adventures: Saber for Hire #1 (of 4) that features a charming parallel story featuring Kip and Jom that has, to us, some ominous foreshadowing. In Mace Windu #3 (of 4), we're treated to a side of the Jedi we've not really seen much of: Idealist Jedi Knight.
