It seems every day brings news of some new delay. I’m afraid today is no different, as the upcoming Star Wars High Republic Project is delayed. Honestly, this isn’t much of a surprise given our current Coronavirus reality.
StarWars.com today announced new release dates for the first three novels in The High Republic Project. Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, an adult novel by Charles Soule, will release on January 5, 2021. Justina Ireland’s middle-grade novel Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage will release on on the same day. The young adult novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark by Claudia Gray will debut on February 2, 2021.
“Given these unprecedented times, we have made the decision to move the launch of Star Wars: The High Republic to January 2021 to ensure that the launch is as good and epic as it deserves to be,” Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain writes in a letter published on StarWars.com.
“Now I know that waiting isn’t easy. And I know fans have been excited for this since it was first announced. I’m right there with you. I’ve also been waiting to tell this story for years. And while I still can’t say much about it, I can tell you that our story architects — Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule — are continuing to work away on this new era of stories. You’ll hear from them this summer and when you do, be sure to ask them about ‘The Hero of Hetzal,’ ‘the twins,’ the ‘Blade of Bardotta,’ the Starros and San Tekka clans, and the Storms. You’re not going to believe what they’ve got in store for the Jedi and the Republic.”

I’m honestly not sure just how anticipated these new Star Wars novels are. When The High Republic Project was announced fans were initially hoping that some movies or shows would be made. However for now, it seems like novels are the only medium that any of these projects will release on. I think fans are far more eager to find out where Star Wars goes next in movie theaters.
I guess we will have to wait for this first book to launch to get an idea of what kind of stories can be told from this era. In the meantime, it’s all speculation, so feel free to participate in the usual spot below.
