That said, we're here to offer a complete, comprehensive reading order that can offer readers a guide as they work through "The High Republic," while still allowing for you to pick your battles. Thankfully, Lucasfilm structured most of the stories to stand largely on their own so that the reader could pick and choose battles at their leisure without feeling totally lost. Phase 1 of the initiative consisted of more than 20 titles spread across a variety of formats, aimed at different age readers. So much so that it might even be considered a bit overwhelming for those who are looking to explore this initiative coming into it cold. This setting is a time period that, prior to this initiative, had hardly been explored (if at all) within the overall franchise timeline, making for rich storytelling possibilities. There are two sets of different foes that the Jedi must contend with in the form of the Nihil and the Drengir. These first High Republic comics and novels will examine how The Jedi deal with the disaster, Starlight Beacon, and The Nihil on multiple fronts - meaning the relationships between these characters could become crucial crossover details, that help Star Wars fans see the bigger picture and character arcs taking place across the series."The High Republic," generally speaking, takes place roughly 200 years before the events of the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy and sees the Jedi at the height of the powers as the highest law in the land across the galaxy. The synopses of the novels and comics all reference two main events: a major disaster in hyperspace travel that seems to ripple through the High Republic, and the invasion of new villains the Nihil, as the Jedi attempt to open a new base (Starlight Beacon) on the "frontier" of the galaxy, outside of Republic space. If you haven't been keeping tabs, this first wave of Star Wars: The High Republic projects are all unfolding around one big central "event" that links them. While it's definitely cool to get novelties like what each new Jedi character looks like, or what kind of lightsaber color they'll have the real information worth studying here are the rankings of each Jedi character and their relationships with one another. Here is the schedule for the entire lineup of Star Wars: The High Republic projects. Those Jedi featured in each of those "First Wave" of High Republic projects are the ones featured in the infographic above. Another novel, Into the Dark, follows on February 2nd, while another comic series The High Republic Adventures follows on February 21st. Star Wars: The High Republic launches on January 5th with Light of the Jedi by Charles Soule and continues with A Test of Courage by Justina Ireland (also on January 5th) and Marvel Comics Star Wars The High Republic series on January 6th. The chart breaks the new Jedi up into their respective projects from The High Republic books, while also revealing key details like their rank, lightsaber color, and personal connections to one another (master and padwan, etc.).

Details about The High Republic have been trickling out for months in official Lucasfilm promotional reveals and interviews, and now all of that early information has been compiled by Star Wars LibriComics into a very handy new visual aid. The High Republic is primarily a sprawling publishing initiative from Lucasfilm that comprises myriad books, comics, and audio dramas all set in a previously unexplored era of Star Wars history. Star Wars: The High Republic will begin in early January, introducing fans of the franchise to a whole new era of Jedi.
