![]() Right now, there's a gap of 500 years between the Old Republic and the High Republic eras, though we're fully expecting Lucasfilm to bump to end of the Old Republic closer to the High Republic. As for the still ongoing EA-run MMORPG The Old Republic (which was born before Disney arrived), everything that happens there is part of the Legends continuity. There's also the question of whether the long-anticipated Knights of the Old Republic remake will be retold to be part of the current canon, too. If recent projects are any indication, we might be seeing some renowned Legends characters re-adapted to fit new stories. Lucasfilm will surely explore this fan-favorite period in the current canon sooner rather than later, but it remains to be seen how that will happen. Numerous galactic conflicts, such as two Sith Wars, the Mandalorian Wars, and the Jedi Civil War, happened throughout this massive era.Īs it stands, the only canonical references to the Old Republic are small and don't paint a full picture. In the Legends canon, the Old Republic was formed "shortly" after the Dawn of the Jedi and spanned thousands of years, becoming the lengthiest period of Star Wars history by far. That Legends storyline told the story of the Je'daii Order, the group of Force-sensitives on the planet Tython that preceded the Jedi Order before the formation of the Republic (it was set almost 26,000 years BBY instead). The Dawn of the Jedi era, set around 25,000 years before the events of the Skywalker Saga, is named after the 2012-2014 Dark Horse comic series written by John Ostrander and drawn by Jan Duursema. James Mangold – who has just co-written and directed Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny for the studio – is set to direct a movie which explores "how the Force came to be known, understood, wielded, and harnessed." Though he's barely started writing a first treatment of the story, his pitch is based on Biblical epics like 1956's The Ten Commandments. No release date has yet been announced, but a trailer was released in 2021.The current canon's Dawn of the Jedi era will probably have very little to do with this comic run, though we all know Lucasfilm likes to pluck Legends ideas and characters quite often. Another game is in the works from Quantic Dream, Star Wars: Eclipse, which remains something of a mystery. Hopefully they will choose to dive in, and learn more about this exciting part of the Star Wars timeline. For many, this serves as an introduction to a period of galactic history they have never encountered before. ![]() Jedi: Survivor exploits the potential of the High Republic Era, with its entire plot flowing from Cal Kestis' discovery of a Jedi secret dating from this period. Meanwhile, the animated Young Jedi Adventures are set during the High Republic as well, featuring Master Yoda himself. The cast of The Acolyte also includes Amandla Stenberg, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, and Dafne Keen. ![]() Followers of Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The High Republic transmedia initiative have been delighted to learn Rebecca Henderson has been cast as Vernestra Rwoh, a Mirialan Jedi Knight introduced in Phase I. The greatest light casts a deep shadow, giving the Sith plenty of room to maneuver. Leslye Headland's The Acolyte Disney+ TV show is set at the tail end of the High Republic Era, and is expected to focus on the actions of the Sith at a time when the light of the Jedi shone more brightly than ever before.
