Star Wars: The High Republic - Everything We Know So Far
9. It's All About Books And Comics
The High Republic story will not be told through film, TV, nor video games, but through written publications only (at least at this stage).
With publishing powerhouses like Marvel, IDW, and Del Rey all working concurrently on this project, there will be a wealth titles to choose from when the first stories hit the shelves in late 2020.
The titles which have been confirmed to date include the novel Light of the Jedi, books aimed at younger audiences such as A Test of Courage and Into the Dark, and the comics The High Republic, and The High Republic Adventures.
These tales do not necessarily book-end each other, rather the characters and events within the pages of each story will reference and compliment the others, with the authors still retaining a degree of autonomy in their own storytelling.
The stories are also to be delivered in phases, with the writers free to spin their own, virtually unrestricted narrative webs in the first phase, providing these tales remain within the parameters of a larger framework.
Moving through subsequent phases, the writers will similarly have free rein to play within new narrative boundaries, each time in service to the larger story.
