Speaking of Lor San Tekka...

"I think after all my wanderings, I can recognize the description of a Jedi outpost when I hear it, Luke... It's probably High Republic era. It was a time of greatly expanded Jedi activity throughout the galaxy."

This line from The Rise Of Kylo Ren comic tells us that the Jedi of the High Republic had not yet reached saturation point throughout the galaxy, but were starting to venture out from the Core at a seemingly rapid rate.

Secondly, it paints a tantalising picture of countless Jedi outposts being established throughout the galaxy.

Were these outposts used as mere bases of operation, or were younger Jedi both identified from and subsequently trained within them?

We know from the comic that the outpost visited by Luke, Ben, and Lor San Tekka was home to a wealth of items, materials, and even Holocrons stored there by the Jedi of old, so there is plenty to explore here.

We also know from the great hyperspace disaster that the ability of the Jedi to reach all corners of the galaxy will be restricted, so it will be interesting to see just how far from the Core this expansion has been able to reach.
