Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide

Star Wars: The High Republic Chronological Reader's Guide — Updated

Dive into the world of Star Wars: The High Republic with StarWars.com's list of essential stories.

Dive into the world of Star Wars: The High Republic with StarWars.com's list of essential stories.

In Star Wars: The High Republic, enter a new era of Star Wars storytelling featuring the Jedi Order in its prime. Set centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the multi-platform publishing initiative includes a variety of books and comics for all ages. But where to start on your journey? StarWars.com is here to help! If you're new to The High Republic or looking to fill in some gaps to your collection, we've compiled a chronological guide to the stories told thus far. But The High Republic can also be read in release order or by format.

In Phase I: Light of the Jedi, meet the new Jedi heroes as they defend the Republic amid the Great Disaster and dedicate a new space station, Starlight Beacon, about 200 years before the start of the Skywalker saga. Or step back another 150 years with Phase II: Quest of the Jedi, for a prequel that explores a galaxy of rugged explorers still looking to unite planets on the Outer Rim. And in Phase III: Trials of the Jedi, we return the year after the events in Phase I, for a thrilling conclusion that pits the Jedi against powerful new foes as the Republic struggles in a chaotic time in the galaxy.

Quest of the Jedi

Light of the Jedi

Trials of the Jedi

Jump to the phase that sparks your interest, read them in story order, or experience them as released. As you read, you'll find that many of the stories overlap, with key moments happening concurrently across multiple formats at once! However you choose to enjoy these tales, we're glad you're along for the ride. After all, we are all the Republic!
