The first books for Star Wars: The High Republic have arrived today. This new multimedia initiative will be telling the stories of the golden age of the Jedi. The stories being told through this series will dramatically grow the world of stories found in the Star Wars universe.
Star Wars: The High Republic will be telling stories that take place about 200 years before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. According to starwars.com, this is the scene that is set for this new series:
It’s a time of peace and prosperity in the galaxy far, far away. The Republic is thriving and the Jedi Order is at its zenith, with individual Force wielders and their students exploring the galactic frontier and keeping the peace. But the time is not without its conflicts.
