Prepare to take your first step into a new era of Star Wars. Set 200 years before the events of the Skywalker Saga, the High Republic finds the Jedi at their peak as they watch over the galaxy during a time of peace. But it’s not long before that peace is disturbed by a devastating incident and the Knights of the Jedi Order must spring into action.
The first novel to explore this era is Star Wars: The High Republic – Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule. We are excited to exclusively debut the first chapter of the upcoming book, out January 5, 2021 from publisher Del Rey, .
Soule offered us some insight on the explosive events of the opening chapter, but if you’d rather go in blind, skip down to the excerpt now and read what he had to say afterward.
