Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader’s Guide

Star Wars: The High Republic takes us back to the prime of the Jedi Order — centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during a previously unseen era. A multi-platform publishing initiative with books and comics for all ages, the story introduces new heroes to cheer on, new worlds to explore, and new threats to face. There has never been anything like it before in the galaxy far, far away.

If you’re new to The High Republic or looking to fill in some gaps to your collection, StarWars.com has compiled a chronological guide to the tentpole stories told thus far, though The High Republic can also be read in release order or by format. However you choose to enjoy these tales, we’re glad you’re along for the ride. For light and life!
