According to a press release, \u201cStar Wars: The High Republic is set in an era when the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order are at their height, serving and protecting the galaxy.\u201d The trailer also explains that the story takes place before the Republic fully spans the galaxy, meaning that aside from being a more peaceful era, it also has wild west and errant adventuring inspirations. Both Texas Rangers and Arthurian knights are cited as examples for this era\u2019s type of Jedi.<\/p>\n<p>At a press event the same night, Disney officially announced the first five books set in the High Republic era, coming from authors who have previously worked with the company on new canon novels like <em>Star Wars: Bloodline<\/em> (Claudia Gray) and <em>Lando\u2019s Luck<\/em> (Justina Ireland). These include:<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark\u00a0<\/em>by Claudia Gray<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage <\/em>by Justina Ireland<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures <\/em>by Daniel Jos\u00e9 Older<\/p>\n<p><em> Star Wars: The High Republic <\/em>by Cavan Scott<\/p>\n<p><em>Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi <\/em>by Charles Soule<\/p>\n<p>The first books and comics for <em>The High Republic<\/em> are set to debut at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in August later this year, with Charles Soule\u2019s <em>Light of the Jedi<\/em> leading the charge.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The cover to LIGHT OF THE JEDI, the novel that kicks off the massive new Star Wars initiative THE HIGH REPUBLIC (aka <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/ProjectLuminous?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#ProjectLuminous<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the Jedi story I\u2019ve been writing since I was six years old.<\/p>\n<p>Out August 25, and you can pre-order it here now: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yP2oFcZdwT\">https:\/\/t.co\/yP2oFcZdwT<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KqneH19dV9\">pic.twitter.com\/KqneH19dV9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Charles Soule (@CharlesSoule) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CharlesSoule\/status\/1232347194369302529?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 25, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While we don\u2019t yet know much else about <em>Light of the Jedi<\/em>, the <em>High Republic<\/em> trailer does promise that, despite being set in a golden age, the whole initiative will follow the ramifications of an event called \u201cThe Great Disaster,\u201d and will initially start off following a core group of heroes that will eventually expand to include a large cast of characters including not just Jedi, but also \u201cnew smugglers, new scoundrels, new bounty hunters.\u201d It also sets up a new villainous group called \u201cThe Nihil,\u201d who the creative team refer to internally as \u201cspace vikings.\u201d It\u2019s likely that this first novel will then focus on setting up a foundation for future stories.

For example, in a press release, Disney promises that the <em>High Republic<\/em> will not overlap any films or television series currently planned for production, meaning that the authors involved in the project will have complete freedom for outlining this new era of galactic history. This is also especially interesting given the surprise addition of a few unexpected publishers set to take place in the initiative. While Marvel and longtime partner Del Rey books aren\u2019t too surprising, <em>The High Republic<\/em> will also feature works by VIZ Media, which focuses primarily on manga, and Titan Magazines and IDW, comic publishers that Disney does not own and who have recently found success with works like the surprisingly socially conscious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/the-flintstones-internet-of-living-things-1686807\/\"  rel=\"noopener\"><em>Flintstones<\/em><\/a> reboot comic.<\/p>\n<p>In case anyone was doubting this as a half-effort, <em>The High Republic<\/em> trailer makes a point that Disney is aiming big with the initiative, essentially gathering many of their most trusted writers in a room, giving them access to concept artists like Darth Maul designer Ian McKay, and giving them the freedom the \u201clet their imaginations run free.\u201d To wit, it emphasizes that the <em>High Republic<\/em> series will include stories intended for adults, teens, and children, meaning that Disney is casting its net wide here.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I\u2019m excited to see Disney Star Wars settle down on a more structured format for its novel and comics wings. While the Extended Universe was essentially the bread and butter for the series during the pre-Episode I and post Episode III hiatuses, Disney\u2019s new set of Star Wars novels and comics, while often excellent, have never felt essential to the overall Star Wars story. Hopefully, the <em>High Republic<\/em> will change that, and maybe even expand to include video games and other non-film mediums as well, another of the old Extended Universe\u2019s high points. <em>Shadows of the Empire<\/em>, anyone?<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the <em>High Republic<\/em> trailer opens with promises of publishing being an incubation place, which is much the same function Marvel comics serve to the MCU now. While the <em>High Republic<\/em> currently doesn\u2019t interfere with any on-screen projects, perhaps this is the start of even the film franchise\u2019s next big <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/movies\/whats-next-for-star-wars-after-the-rise-of-skywalker-1811582\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">post-Skywalker steps<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"syndicated-attribution\"><figure class= \\\"wp-block-image alignnone \\\"><img src= \\\"http:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/test\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/logo2-2.png\\\" alt=\\\"IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\\\"\/><figcaption>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n<\/br>Find A Teacher Form:\r\n<\/br>https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/1vREBnX5n262umf4wU5U2pyTwvk9O-JrAgblA-wH9GFQ\/viewform?edit_requested=true#responses\r\n<\/br><\/br>Email:\r\n<\/br>public1989two@gmail.com<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>\r\n<a href=www.itsec.hk style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.hk<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itsec.vip\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itsec.vip<\/a><br>\r\n<a href=\\\"www.itseceu.uk\\\" style=color:#FFFFFF;>www.itseceu.uk<\/a><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/high-republic-top-650x366.png\" width=\"650\" height=\"366\"><\/figure>\n<p>Recently, we&rsquo;ve written both about (now former) Disney CEO Bob Iger&rsquo;s statements that Star Wars will be moving away from film for the time being, as well as rumors of an upcoming Star [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/culture\/disney-announces-star-wars-the-high-republic-novel-and-comic-series-1819268\/\">Disney Announces &lsquo;Star Wars: The High Republic&rsquo; Novel and Comic Series<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/\">Geek.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"slim_seo":{"title":"Disney Announces \u2018Star Wars: The High Republic\u2019 Novel and Comic Series - ITTeacherITFreelance.hk","description":"Recently, we&rsquo;ve written both about (now former) Disney CEO Bob Iger&rsquo;s statements that Star Wars will be moving away from film for the time being, as"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,63,7],"tags":[1224,1225],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2516"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/54"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2516"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2517,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2516\/revisions\/2517"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
