As vast as this era in A Galaxy Far, Far Away feels already, Lucasfilm’s ambitious multi-platform publishing initiative Star Wars: The High Republic is still only partway through its first phase. And today during the Comic-Con@Home panel presentation featuring the five authors involved in the ongoing project, we found out some new information about what we can expect next in the sequence, with several new novels and comics due out at the beginning of 2022.
Arriving in January are three additional Star Wars: The High Republic novels (one each in the adult, young adult, and middle grade categories) and one comic book miniseries from talented writers Claudia Gray, Daniel José Older, Justina Ireland, and Charles Soule.
What’s happening:
- Lucasfilm Publishing has announced the third wave of Star Wars: The High Republic novels and comic books, which are set to be released in January of 2022.
