A Fan-Favorite Jedi Hero Faces Off Against Dangerous Sea Monsters
The synopsis for Kit Fisto's new Star Wars outing includes details about what his underwater journey will entail:
Jedi Master Kit Fisto has been sent to the ocean planet Tordus, alongside Mace Windu and Shaak Ti, to investigate a controversial underwater research facility. The facility is in danger of flooding and being crushed into rubble, and if that’s not enough, there are giant monsters circling them. With disaster looming, his diplomatic excursion quickly becomes a rescue mission! Kit Fisto and his fellow Jedi must race against the clock to save innocent lives from the hungry leviathans that fill the depths. This standalone story is full of murky intrigue and ancient abyssal nightmares. Can the Jedi fend off the danger lurking in the ocean's briny waters?
Kit Fisto being chosen for a mission on an oceanic landscape like Tordus tracks with his amphibious Nautolan biology as well as his skill-set, since he was shown to be proficient at using lightsabers underwater in the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series. His modified hilt allows him to fight effortlessly when submerged, preventing the water from interfering with his weapon's internal components.
Before Lightsabers, Star Wars' Best Weapon Belonged to the Mandalorians, And We Want It Back
The Mythosaur axe is the Mandalorians' coolest weapons; introduced in the old Star Wars "Legends" canon, it deserves a prominent spot in current lore.
This Jedi icon will endure perilous challenges on this mission, such as sea monsters, and it seems that this investigation will spiral into a fight for his very survival as leviathans put him and the planet's inhabitants at risk. Luckily, he won't be alone, as the synopsis reveals that he will be ed by Mace Windu and Shaak Ti. Still, Kit Fisto appears to be the focus of this narrative, so he may end up taking on leviathans without backup as the story unfolds. Eduardo Mello's epic cover art hints at the pulse-pounding battles to come as Kit Fisto fights the monsters of Tordus.
