It’s not just an advertisement for the rest of Star Wars, but a refreshing change from endless tie-in media, the Skywalker Saga, and the lack of planning of the sequel era, while still maintaining the magic and ideals that make a story Star Wars. It’s meticulously planned, thoughtful space opera, that holds its own for even the most traditional fantasy and sci-fi readers, whether they are fans of the old Legends content or not. T he High Republic also contains the best storytelling Star Wars has put out in a long time. The High Republic, as of right now, is mostly books and comics, (and one story in a VR game), but with Jedi: Survivor making it a key part of the plot (no spoilers here), the Acolyte adult Disney+ show, the Young Jedi Adventures animated kids’ show, and more, it is now the biggest point of expansion for Star Wars. It is meant to answer a very important question: what were the legendary Jedi like in their golden age? How did they, and the Republic, get to the mess we see in the prequels (and then beyond)? How did the rest of the galaxy feel about them? The High Republic (or Project Luminous as it was codenamed in its development), is Lucasfilm’s expansion of the period a few hundred years before the films we know and love. I have great news – you ALL will love the High Republic. Some just want to go deeper before the next show comes out, and some have fallen out of love with Star Wars after the poorly planned sequel era didn’t live up to expectations. Some want better representation from Star Wars. ![]() Some people aren’t interested in the current projects coming out and want something new. But from the most deep cut to the newest fan, it’s now become overwhelming. ![]() It’s an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan – we went from barely any content for decades to a new show every few months, and books and comics churned out constantly.
