Star Wars: The High Republic Explained

Star Wars: The High Republic is a new publishing-led initiative from Lucasfilm that explores a brand new era set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga. We explain everything you need to know about this time period and what to expect. We also answer some burning questions you may have, like where are Yoda and the Sith?

In the High Republic, there will be new Jedi with new looks and lightsabers, new villains called the Nihil, and a tragic event called The Great Disaster that kicks off all of these new stories.
