Lucasfilm have revealed what's next for the Star Wars series. Interestingly, the new era in which new stories will unfold so far has not yet been covered by video games.
The long-running Star Wars saga of the Skywalkers has been concluded once and for all, okay? Okay. At Lucasfilm, they have decided to turn over a new newspaper and start a new Star Wars chapter, and today they have revealed the first details of the same. That chapter is an era called High Republic, chronologically located 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
It's quite a fresh era, in the sense that it hasn't been covered in movies, series or video games so far. It is an era in which the Jedi order is at the height of power, their golden age, an optimistic time of peace and prosperity for the Galactic Republic. The Jedi during this period were more like the peace-keeping rangers and helping spread the republic to Outer Rome.
In this new chapter, Star Wars will get new characters, not just Jedi, but some unexpected heroes and antagonists. The main threat will be the "Space Vikings" called The Nile.
The first stories from the High Republic era will be delivered in the form of novels on which five authors have been working for the last two years. These authors are Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott and Charles Soule, with stories named: Into the Dark, A Test of Courage, The High Republic Adventures, Light of the Jedi and The High Republic. It will be stories unlike the audience - both for older fans and for younger ages.
So far, there are no movies or games to be announced in this Star Wars era.
