For Light and Life! We are all the Republic! On Thursday afternoon at Star Wars Celebration, the authors and executives behind the massive The High Republic publishing initiative took to the stage to reflect on phase one of the project as well as look forward to phase two, subtitled "Quest of the Jedi," which begins [...]
One of the most frightening aspects of phase one of the High Republic storytelling was the Nameless, a mysterious species who pose a particular threat to the Jedi. We don't know much about them, but do come to learn gradually more as the stories unfold. The first appearance of this strange species came in The [...]
Phase One of the High Republic is over. The massive Star Wars storytelling initiative that launched in January 2021 wrapped up its first of three planned phases recently, and the first phase included a staggering nine books, five comic series spanning 38 combined issues, two manga books, an audio drama, and a few short stories. [...]
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 [...]
"What happens when the light of the Jedi goes dark?" That question permeated much of the lead-up to the release of the highly-anticipated end of the first phase of the High Republic storytelling initiative, Claudia Gray's The Fallen Star. The era kicked off a year ago with Charles Soule's Light of the Jedi, a triumphant [...]

The brand-new era launched in January 2021 and is reaching the end of its first phase a little over a year later. There are three phases in total in the [...]
Today, January 4, 2022, marks the release of the latest adult novel in The High Republic series, which kicks off the final wave of projects for this first phase. The book, "The Fallen Star" by Claudia Gray, is being teased with this ominous statement: "who will survive when the light of the Jedi goes dark?" [...]
The third issue of the Trail of Shadows mini-series recently released, furthering the Jedi and Republic joint investigation into the Nihil's mystery weapon just as Marchion Ro closes in on the Nihil traitor. This was the third of five issues, meaning we are now over halfway through the story! I'm expecting it to only continue [...]
Happy New Year! We have turned a page into a new year, 2022, and so whereas yesterday we looked back at what happened in the Star Wars galaxy in 2021, today we're taking a look forward at what is to come in this year. And it's A LOT. In fact, it'll be the biggest year [...]
We got a ton of new Star Wars content in 2021. Though it paled in comparison with what came in 2020 and especially pales in comparison with what is to come in 2022, we are in the midst of an incredible time to be a Star Wars fan. Consider that a "down" year for the [...]
