Though it hasn’t appeared on screen, Star Wars fans can learn all about the Jedi Order’s heyday thanks to the Star Wars: The High Republic publishing project — a series of novels, comics, and audio dramas set in a time when Jedi roamed the galaxy on missions of peace and exploration. Writer Charles Soule kicked off Phase I of the High Republic era in 2021 with his prose novel Light of the Jedi. That phase ended early last year, and Phase II, which ran from October of last year to this past May, was actually a prequel to Phase I.Fans of the initial phase of the High Republic era, which ended in a cliffhanger, have been wondering about the fate of their favorite Jedi and the galaxy for a while now. This October, Soule and artist Ibraim Roberson kick off Star Wars: The High Republic- Shadows of Starlight, a four-issue Marvel Comics miniseries designed to bridge the gap between Phase I and Phase III of the High Republic era, which launches later this year. CBR spoke with Soule about the series, the characters it focuses on, and what new readers need to know to enjoy it. Marvel also provided a look at some of Roberson’s pages for Issue #1, which feature colors by Protobunker’s Fersifuentes-Sujo.Charles Soule: The truth is, this issue (and the whole Shadows of Starlight series) is designed to bring existing readers up to speed from Phase I and bring new readers into the fold. While having read Phase I of the High Republic might enrich the experience here. You can also meet these characters for the first time in Shadows and be just fine. The quick logline is that we’re in a golden age for both the Republic and the Jedi Order, and a chaos-based faction called the Nihil has made great strides in disrupting the stability of the era. The Nihil and their leader, Marchion Ro, have done some bad things [and] achieved some serious victories, and now the good guys are figuring out how to deal with it. That’s about it. You’ll get the specifics in the issue!
