The Star Wars and Lucasfilm communities today are mourning the death of Jonathan "J.W." Rinzler, the supremely talented and incredibly influential author behind many behind-the-scenes books. Rinzler died on July 28 after an eleven-month battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 58. Rinzler was a longtime executive editor at Lucasfilm and prolific author, writing many books [...]
The third wave of projects from The High Republic era have been announced! The projects will release in January 2022 and will conclude Phase I of the storytelling initiative. At a panel held for Comic-Con@Home 2021, host Krystina Arielle talked with High Republic authors Cavan Scott, Daniel José Older, Justina Ireland, Charles Soule, and Claudia [...]
The second wave of The High Republic books are underway, headlined by the brilliant and devastating novel The Rising Storm, written by Cavan Scott, that serves as the headliner to this wave of storytelling.

The next wave of books from The High Republic era were recently released, and I've just got to say... WOW. The most prominent novel of the group is The Rising Storm by Cavan Scott, and that's the one we'll be looking at today (we'll get to the others soon as well). And though there are [...]

Another Star Wars: The High Republic project was announced last week, as Del Rey revealed that Cavan Scott is writing a new audio original about the Nihil, Tempest Runner. It will release in the fall of 2021 and will feature Lourna Dee, one of the highest-ranking members within the Nihil. Lourna Dee is one of [...]
This is not an April Fool's joke: Del Rey announced that the third novel in Timothy Zahn's current Thrawn Ascendancy trilogy will be releasing later this year! That means that the final two books in the trilogy will both release this year, which is unexpected and awesome! The first book, Chaos Rising, was released September [...]
The Star Wars social media department continues to produce great video shorts about The High Republic era, and recently there was one posted on the Star Wars website about Leox Gyasi - and in it, of course, we also got a look at Affie Hollow and Geode! These characters appeared in Claudia Gray's Into the [...]
