![]() ![]() ![]() Lucasfilm had teased "Project Luminous" in April 2019, prompting intense fan speculation. "Project Luminous" was started in September 2018 with invitations to Star Wars authors including Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule to Skywalker Ranch, with Lucasfilm offering them a "blank slate" in determining the project. The Jedi were primarily based on Coruscant but a number of Jedi Temples were scattered across the galaxy on every major Republic planet. The Jedi Order worked as a distinct entity separate from the Republic and the Order was at its most diverse and transparent, donning golden robes and wielding the Force to a much greater extent. Importantly, it was a time of peace for the Republic and the Republic was expanding into previously unreached areas in the Outer Rim. The High Republic era was a golden age for both the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order who were both at the height of their power. The third phase, Trials of the Jedi, began in November 2023 with the release of George Mann's novel The Eye of Darkness. The second phase, Quest of the Jedi, started in October 2022. The first, Light of the Jedi, ran from January 2021 to February 2022. The initiating event of the sub-franchise is "The Great Disaster" involving the antagonistic "space Vikings" known as the Nihil and the subsequent intervention of the Jedi. Finnish actor Joonas Suotamo, who has portrayed the 'wookie' Chewbacca since 2016, will also appear as Kelnacca, a wookie Jedi master.Star Wars: The High Republic is a multimedia project consisting of various stories from the Star Wars franchise set during the " High Republic" era, which spans 500 to 100 years before the Skywalker Saga and is set hundreds of years after the fall of the "Old Republic". ![]() The show, which will premiere its first two episodes on June 4, stars noted South Korea actor Lee Jung-jae as Jedi Master Sol, "Matrix" franchise star Carrie-Anne Moss as Jedi Master Indara and rising star Amandla Stenberg as the former Jedi padawan Mae. "The Acolyte," is the first video entry in that part of the saga. "The High Republic" was introduced as a multimedia aspect of the franchise in 2020 and has thus far featured a number of novels and comics. ![]() While many time periods before and after the events of the main six "Star Wars" films were explored in the now legacy "Expanded Universe" - a jumble of comics, novels and video games that explored the in-universe history from the first space travelers to the exploits of Luke Skywalker's children and beyond - the franchise's new history under Disney has rarely branched out from that main timeline surrounding the events and near-distant aftermath of the films. In the "Star Wars" universe, the 'High Republic Era' was considered the height of the galaxy's civilization under the stewardship of the 'Galactic Republic' and the height of the influence of the 'Jedi Order.' It was a time of expansion as the Republic explored new territories in the galaxy's 'Outer Rim' and the Jedi's ranks swelled with recruits from all corners of the cosmos as the Order did its own expansion and exploring of its effort to be keepers of the peace. "The Acolyte" takes place during an era of the franchise's galactic history known as the 'High Republic Era"'which lasted from 500 BBY to 100 BBY (BBY, 'Before the Battle of Yavin,' is a common calendar measure for the franchise, using the pivotal fight at the end of "A New Hope" and the destruction of the first 'Death Star' as the central marker of history) and focuses on a group of jedi facing a new threat from users of the 'Dark Side of the Force.' Specifically the new show takes place just over 100 years before the events of "Episode I - The Phantom Menace" and the timeline that all of the films and shows have followed thus far. WASHINGTON (TND) - Disney debuted the first trailer for its next "Star Wars" streaming show, and while the setting remains in a galaxy far far away, it is also charting new territory in the saga. ![]()
