The second phase of the High Republic publishing story begins later this year! This next phase, "Quest of the Jedi," serves as a prequel to the highly-acclaimed phase one ("Light of the Jedi") that released last year.

Phase two of the High Republic storytelling era launches in October, and it's actually set 150 years prior to the events of phase one! And in telling these next chapters (or past chapters, in a way) of the story, the team is actually adding four new authors to the project. I mentioned this the other [...]
