Later this year, Lucasfilm will launch an epic new era of Star Wars<\/em> storytelling that will be explored through multiple voices in adult and young adult novels, children\u2019s books, and comics from a variety of publishers including Disney Lucasfilm Press, Del Rey, IDW Publishing, and Marvel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Star Wars: The High Republic<\/em><\/strong>, which has previously been referred to as \u201cProject Luminous\u201d, will be set in an era when the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order are at their zenith, about 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace<\/em>. This period on the Star Wars <\/em>timeline will not overlap any of the filmed features or series currently planned for production, giving creators and partners a vast amount of room to tell Star Wars<\/em> stories with new adventures and original characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are so excited to be opening up such a rich, fertile era for our authors to explore,\u201d says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. \u201cWe\u2019ll get to see the Jedi in their prime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStar Wars: The High Republic<\/em> features the Jedi as we\u2019ve always wanted to see them \u2014 as true guardians of peace and justice. This is a hopeful, optimistic time, when the Jedi and the Galactic Republic are at their height. But of course, into this glorious new era something wicked this way comes,\u201d says Lucasfilm publishing creative director Michael Siglain. \u201cThis initiative will give readers young and old a new corner of the galaxy to explore through rich, meaningful stories. Plus, readers will learn what scares the Jedi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis was a golden age for the Jedi, and also a time of galactic expansion in the Outer Rim. So expect there to be rich tales of exploration; charting out the galaxy, meeting new cultures, and discovering what pioneer life in the Outer Rim was like. This is an incredible sandbox for our storytellers to play in, both within publishing and beyond, and we can\u2019t wait to see the great fiction they build within it,\u201d says Lucasfilm vice president, franchise content and strategy James Waugh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
