Lucafilm changes horses at the crossing: The first phase of the Star Wars: The High Republic project is announced

On the night of February 24-25, the studio Lucasfilm officially introduced the next phase in the development of the franchise “star Wars“, which until then was called Project luminous. An announcement trailer has also been published.

Previous leaks partially confirmed. The initiative is called Star Wars: The High Republic (“Star Wars: High Republic“). This is the era of the so-called High republicwhen science, art and culture were on the rise, and the Outer Ring was a rather dangerous place.

During this period, there was a high activity of the Jedi Order, which actively explored the Unknown Regions and created new temples. In this case, the narrative will be divided into phases, the first of which is called Light of the jedi. Presumably, events will revolve around the initiative Project starlight.

“We will see the Jedi in their prime,” said Lucasfilm chief Kathleen Kennedy.

All stories released under this brand will unfold approximately 200 years before the events. “Phantom menace“. However, for now you should immediately forget about the films: not one of the film projects or series in production uses the setting of The High Republic.

Now the studio offers pre-orders exclusively for comics and books. At the same time, information leaked that a new setting would use one of the games EA. The list of waste paper is as follows:

  • Into the dark from Claudia Gray;
  • A test of courage from Justin Ireland;
  • The high republic Adventures from Daniel Jose Alder;
  • The high republic from Cavanana Scott;
  • Light of the jedi from Charles Soul.

Apparently, the initiative is overseen by Lucasfilm CEO Kathleen Kennedy, so development priorities should not surprise anyone. The trailer shows a white board on which the key features of the project are highlighted. The notorious diversity, by which is understood the promotion of social justice, has been mentioned already twice.

Analyzing the above information, it seems that Disney there is no strong faith in The High Republic, so the company took a wait and see attitude. This is superimposed by news about freezing TV series about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cassian andor, as well as rumors that the Kennedy regime will fall in the coming months. The new leadership is quite capable of killing the beginnings of the old, which is desperately trying to keep the posts.
