![]() ![]() The novel that launched Star Wars: The High Republic, introducing many of its characters and locales. Star Wars: Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule But here are some releases that could be good places to jump onboard. Just find a story, character, or theme you enjoy and go from there. So, where should you start your High Republic journey? That’s a great question and it really boils down to what you love to read and imagine! The truth is, you can really start anywhere, and you DON’T need to read everything. Sav Malagan: once a Padawan troublemaker on Takodana who joins a crew of pirates and is thrust into adventure Ty Yorrick: a former Jedi Padawan who left the Order to become a saber-for-hire and monster hunter In Phase II, we also meet some of her predecessors, at a time when there were multiple co-existing chancellors of the Republic. ![]() Reath Silas: a Padawan who prefers the comforts of the JediĬhancellor Lina Soh: leader of the Republic and champion of the Starlight Beacon. Keeve Trennis: Newly christened Jedi Knight, and former Padawan to Sskeerīurryaga: a brave and empathetic Wookiee who wields a blue crossguard lightsaber Vernestra Rwoh: former Padawan of Stellan Gios and now the youngest Jedi Knight in nearly a generation Sskeer: the one-armed Trandoshan Jedi Master, who is one of the first to encounter the Drengir ![]() In Phase II, we see he once traveled the galaxy with his friend and "sister," Barash SilvainĪvar Kriss: attuned to the Song of the Force and newly-named Marshal of the Starlight Beacon Porter Engle: renowned as the “Blade of Bardotta” and perhaps the most skilled lightsaber wielder in the High Republic. Their lives interconnect throughout multiple stories, but you can follow your favorites down their individual journeys. One of the best parts of the entire High Republic initiative has been the introduction of brand-new characters, alongside some younger versions of familiar heroes like Yoda, Maz Kanata, and Dexter Jettster. This is the start of the story of The High Republic, which has been broken into three phases, a familiar trilogy structure: Phase I: Light of the Jedi, Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, and Phase III: Trials of the Jedi. While attempting to bring peace to the Outer Rim, the Jedi, typically guardians of peace and justice, discover evil that they are not prepared for: the marauding Nihil, the plant-creatures called Drengir, and the Nameless - thought to be creatures of myth that feed on Force-sensitives, and the monsters of bedtime stories to scare younglings - all start a fierce battle for control of the Force itself. From there, we see the cause of that tragedy and how it impacts the Jedi, the Republic, and this particular corner of the galaxy. Our story begins with the Great Disaster, in which the Jedi arrive to save the day. The technology during this time is also different than fans might remember: Hyperspace lanes are still being charted, bacta is a new medical advancement, and Jedi fly into battle in their sleek Vector starfighters. They were part of a near-endless frontier, somewhat akin to our historical Wild West, with the Jedi attempting to bring their light to the dark corners of the galaxy. At one time, though, these worlds were not part of the larger Galactic Republic. Star Wars fans have often heard of Outer Rim worlds in the galaxy far, far away, familiar locations like Tatooine. As part of this endeavor, they also aim to create a symbol of hope and connection to these far worlds: the Starlight Beacon, a gleaming space station. As such, its leaders want to expand that peace to worlds farther away from its capital of Coruscant. This time period of The High Republic is one of prosperity and growth for the Republic - a galactic renaissance. ![]()
