Star Wars: The High Republic is a Star Wars Expanded Universe multimedia project. Due to being advertised as both an era and a sub-franchise and having more in-depth mapping compared to previous Star Wars eras, it has its own franchise page.Set around 382 to 82 years before the Battle of Yavin, in a time where the post-Jedi-Sith Wars Galactic Republic was at the peak of its influence and culture, the Jedi were active guardians of peace, and the Outer Rim was considered a frontier waiting to be explored and colonized. However, while the threat of a galactic war would still be far off, a huge disaster changes the status quo and an unknown ruthless enemy appears out of the Outer Rim to terrorize the Republic.Originally revealed as Project Luminous, the High Republic is a new era of Star Wars media that will include books, graphic novels, comics, and television shows, and is penned by an all-star group of writers such as Charles Soule, Cavan Scott, and Claudia Gray among many others.The High Republic brand is meant as a starting point for new fans, advertised with a Lighter and Softer tone, more episodic (yet interconnected with Continuity Nods) storytelling, and emphasis on young Jedi Padawans and their adventures and discoveries in an unexplored Outer Rim. However, it would also delve into darker and more serialised territory as time went on.The series officially launched on January 5, 2021 with the book Light of the Jedi. It is planned to consist of three phases released over the course of several years: Light of the Jedi, Quest of the Jedi, and Trials of the Jedi. It was later revealed that with Quest of the Jedi, the initiative would go even further into the past of the Star Wars universe by covering events a century and a half before Light of the Jedi. | |

Tempting Fate: The synopsis and introduction for Light of the Jedi describe this point of the High Republic era as a time of peace. Of course, we know from the summaries and the overall synopsis of the series that the Great Disaster will turn things upside down... | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The series title of Star Wars: The High Republic is one to the Star Wars: The Old Republic label. There are three Grand Masters, borrowing a concept from the Star Wars: Legacy comics where the Jedi Order was led by a Council which consisted of only three Jedi Masters (although mostly because most of the senior members were wiped out in another Jedi Purge). | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Defied. Early in the story, the Jedi are frequently surprised by the complete lack of empathy that define the Nihil, and the audience is shown many, many instances of people in the organization engaging in For the Evulz behavior. This ranges from the extremely casual murder of subordinates, to open complacency regarding cannibalism in the ranks of the Storm. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Being set long before the fall of the Republic that began with the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY means that it will end with the erosion of the Republic's ideals, the Jedi becoming complacent, and the Outer Rim being mostly ignored by the Republic, leading to the rise of criminal cartels and unchecked intergalactic corporations. | |

Tailor-Made Prison | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_4e1d9178 | comment |
Tailor-Made Prison: Marchion Ro has a prison with seven captives. The lights are so bright they are blinded, they are given random electric shocks to keep them in pain, and they are slowly driven mad from sleep deprivation and worse. And all that is to contain the eighth captive, a Jedi, who will be severely weakened by all the pain and fear surrounding them. | |

Culture Clash | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_70ade2c4 | comment |
Culture Clash: A prominent conflict in Phase II is how others interpret the Force. In the main High Republic comic, Jedha serves as a convocation for many Force faiths, but are often butting heads with each other and are in fragile peace to start with (and some of these faiths, such as the Sorcerers of Tund, worship the Dark Side). Also of note is the Path of the Open Hand, who preach that the Force should not be used at all. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
The Drengir are sentient carnivorous plants that not only seek to spread themselves across the galaxy and consume all non-botanical life, but are strong in the Dark Side of the Force and can inflict a poison that can control the minds of others and bring them close to the Dark Side (this poison can also be spread through telepathic links). It is very telling that even the Sith thought they were too much to handle and had them sealed away on the Amaxine Station, only for a group of hapless Jedi to unwittingly release them, thinking the statues sealing them were the source of the Dark Side presence on the station. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
Eldritch Abomination: This sub-franchise has two notable species of them: The Drengir are sentient carnivorous plants that not only seek to spread themselves across the galaxy and consume all non-botanical life, but are strong in the Dark Side of the Force and can inflict a poison that can control the minds of others and bring them close to the Dark Side (this poison can also be spread through telepathic links). It is very telling that even the Sith thought they were too much to handle and had them sealed away on the Amaxine Station, only for a group of hapless Jedi to unwittingly release them, thinking the statues sealing them were the source of the Dark Side presence on the station. While the Drengir are defeated midway through Phase I, they are replaced with an even more terrifying threat: The Nameless. Also known as the Shrii Ka Rai (which means "Eater of the Force"), they not only prey on Force users, a Nameless's presence alone can drive even the most unflappable Jedi mad with fear before killing them horrifically. The Nihil weaponizing these creatures against the Jedi brought the Republic and the Order to one of their most notable historical low points. Their homeworld - only known as Planet X) - is every bit as otherworldly as they are and is very rich in the Force, which has contributed to the species' unusual diet. | |

Villain Protagonist: The Eye of the Storm two-part comic features Marchion Ro, as he recounts his family history and how he came on top at the end of Phase I. In Phase II, Path of Deceit and Path of Vengeance feature Marda Ro (Machion's implied ancestor) as a Villain Deuteragonist, where she's radicalized by the Path of the Open Hand's teachings. Based on the synopsis of The Acolyte so far, it appears that the Sith (or another Dark Side user) will serve as the main characters in contrast to the rest of the High Republic media. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: While many of the works are organized by Phase, not all of the series are released in chronological order, and some stories happen concurrently with others. For example, The Fallen Star, the novel that launched Wave 3 of Phase 1, chronologically takes place near the end of Phase 1, while Mission to Disaster takes place before that. Phase 2, Quest of the Jedi, takes place further back in time, 150 years before the Great Disaster. Meanwhile, The Acolyte takes place 100 years after the Great Disaster, and The Vow of Silver Dawn is listed by different sources as occurring either 32 to 150 years after the Great Disaster. | |

Simultaneous Arcs | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_8d630561 | comment |
Simultaneous Arcs: Light of the Jedi, A Test of Courage, Into the Dark, and the first arc of The High Republic Adventures all start with the Great Disaster and end with the dedication ceremony for the Starlight Beacon. The first issue of The High Republic comic takes place after the main story of Light of the Jedi and ends with the ceremony. The Rising Storm, Race to Crashpoint Tower, and the Drengir arcs of both the main High Republic comic and The High Republic Adventures take place around the same time. This is relevant in that the Nihil were using the Drengir as a distraction for the Jedi while the Nihil attacked the Republic fair. The first few issues of Trail of Shadows happen concurrently with The High Republic Adventures Takodana arc, Out of the Shadows, and Tempest Runner. The Fallen Star, the final issues of The High Republic comic and The High Republic Adventures, Midnight Horizon, and the last two issues of Trail of Shadows take place around the same time when Starlight Beacon falls. In Phase II, the main High Republic comic overlaps with The Battle of Jedha audio drama and The High Republic Adventures. In Part 2 of the phase, Path of Vengeance overlaps with the second half of the comic, The Nameless Terror, Quest for Planet X, Cataclysm and the beginning of The Edge of Balance: Precedent, all of which lead into the Night of Sorrows. "All roads lead to Dalna" indeed. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: As a parallel to lightsabers, the franchise introduces Vectors and Vanguards, spaceships and land vehicles designed specifically for the Jedi. They have ludicrously high specs for their class, capable of dancing on a pinhead, but they require such impossible reflexes that you basically have to be a Jedi to pilot one. They also have powerful weapons systems that use the Jedi's own lightsaber as a focus (which has the added benefit of meaning the lightsaber acts as a key so that no one besides a Jedi can use the weapons), with variable power so that they can fight without killing if necessary. Vanguards also come with Veil speeders, which are described as little more than sticks with engines—again, requiring Jedi reflexes to use safely. | |

Contrasting Sequel Antagonist | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_a3515d6 | comment |
Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: The Nihil are different from any other major enemies in Star Wars to date. They're not Force-wielders like the various Darksiders, they're not religious fanatics like the Sith cultists, they're not an enemy nation, they're not a race of extragalactic invaders, and they're not even high-level criminals like the Hutts or the Shadow Collective. They are basically just a random band of marauders who lucked into a huge technological advantage. Even then, it's repeatedly made clear that the only reason they are a real threat to the Republic is because it's an unprecedented era of peace and there's barely any military presence in the Galaxy. However, they become much more dangerous once they have control of the Nameless to use against Jedi and access to hyperspace mines to keep the Republic Defense Coalition from coming into their territory once they have control of the Outer Rim. | |

Moral Myopia: The Nihil hate the Republic for being "tyrants" encroaching on their "freedoms". The freedoms in question being the freedom to raid and pillage the entire Outer Rim. The tempest riders appear to just be paying lip service to the ideal as a means to control their people, but Marchion Ro seems to genuinely believe it at least to some extent. | |

Child Soldiers: The Guardian Protocols (usually used for wartime) introduced in Shadows of Starlight are a list of systemic changes by the Jedi Order in response to the destruction of Starlight Beacon, the resurging threat of the Nameless, and the Nihil's establishment of the Occlusion Zone. These include the fast-tracking of Padawans' trials and accelerating the combat training of younglings. | |

| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_e3c36782 | comment |
Call-Forward: Keeve Trennis is one of the main Jedi in the series. Dooku Jedi Lost, written by The High Republic writer Cavan Scott, mentions a Trennis as one of the Lost Twenty… Yoda is already a Grand Master, and Oppo Rancisis and Yarael Poof are already members of the Jedi Council. Avon Starros and her mother Senator Ghirra Starros are members of the Starros clan, otherwise known as the ancestors of Sana Starros, a major character in the Original Trilogy-era comics. The San Tekka clan is an organization of explorers and are allies of the Jedi, and are ancestors to Lor San Tekka, a member of the Church of the Force who will help the Resistance find Luke in The Force Awakens. The Graf clan, who have descendants that are the main characters in Adventures in Wild Space and the side stories of the Star Wars Adventures comics (both written by Cavan Scott), turn out to have been rivals of the San Tekka clan. The political efforts to rebuild after the disaster include lessening taxes on trade routes and creating economic incentives for droid production, which eventually lead to the conflict in The Phantom Menace. | |

Anti-Magical Faction | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_ecb3970b | comment |
Anti-Magical Faction: The Elders of the Path are a religious cult that believes that the Force is a wild and dangerous thing that should not be touched, and persecute the Jedi Order or any Force sensitives that live within their group (forcing some like Zeen to suppress it). Phase II introduces the Path of the Open Hand, which the Elders were once a part of. They follow the similar principles but with different reasoning - that any action taken by manipulating the force will have an equal but opposite reaction elsewhere in the galaxy, usually in the form of people dying in the stead of those the Jedi save. The Nihil also have roots in the Path via Marchion's ancestor, Marda Ro. | |

Early-Bird Cameo | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_f0089082 | comment |
Early-Bird Cameo: Prior to the proper reveal announcement and release of the series, the writers placed hints and other references to the High Republic era in their other works: The Rise of Kylo Ren has a holocron dating back to the days of the High Republic, and it has a recording from Avar Kriss. The Amaxine space station in The Rise of Kylo Ren is the station that Reath and co. come across in Into the Dark. Adventures Issue 30 (written by Cavan Scott) has Emil recount a story about a lost library dating back to the age of the High Republic. Dooku Jedi Lost mentions a Master Trennis as one of the Lost Twenty, and Yoda notes that their story was very sad... The first arc of the second run of Doctor Aphra (which is not written by a The High Republic writer) has Eustacia reading a book called "The Lost Legends of the High Republic", supposedly for her dissertation, and Aphra’s crew find High Republic-era murals adorning the walls of the underground workshop in Vaale that forged the Rings of Vaale, implying that the relic is also High Republic-era. The first arc of the 2020 run of the main Star Wars comics (written by Charles Soule) feature an old High Republic-era Jedi outpost on Tempes. Also from the same arc, Commander Grek also proposes naming their mission, Operation Starlight, in tribute to the High Republic's Starlight Beacon. In Master & Apprentice, Dooku: Jedi Lost and Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle (written by Claudia Gray and Cavan Scott), several characters bring up tales of mythical beings known as the Nameless (with them even being tied to a prophecy regarding the Chosen One). The Nameless would make their debut in The Rising Storm via the Great Leveler, with the Nameless being namedropped as its species in Trail of Shadows. | |

Forever War | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Forever War: One of the prominent conflicts in Phase II is a war between the sister planets Eiram and E'ronoh, which has been described word-for-word as a Forever War. This conflict wouldn't be fully resolved until 125 years later via the efforts of a few Jedi, including the Phase I characters Cohmac Vitus and Orla Jareni. | |

Inciting Incident | |
| Star Wars: The High Republic (Franchise) / int_ff04e190 | comment |
Inciting Incident: The Great Disaster kicks of Phase I and is a direct plot point in most of the early storylines. The Legacy Run encounter an unknown object in Hyperspace (later revealed to be a Nihil ship travelling on a Path), and the evasive maneuvers caused it to explode, showering the Outer Rim with wreckage travelling at near-lightspeed. | |
