We are about to embark on a brand new adventure. Star Wars: The High Republic is going to take us to a period completely new to us. Long before the First Order reigned supreme, before Darth Sidious rose to power, and even before the arrival of Anakin Skywalker, the Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in the High Republic.
Light of the Jedi is the first installment in Star War’s endeavor to create a massive interconnected “mega-story”. This giant narrative will be broken up into three different phases, much like the MCU. Phase I: Light of the Jedi, Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, and Phase III: Trials of the Jedi.
Today, the first piece of the puzzle has finally been released. Charles Soule’s Light of the Jedi is available to read now and we cannot wait.
Check out the official synopsis:
“It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation.
When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives.
Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi’s heart.”
We can’t wait to explore this new era in Star Wars and we hope you’ll join us along the way as we meet new characters and explore new worlds. Are you excited to read Light of the Jedi? Let us know in the comments.
