Description

1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Long before the First Order, before the Empire, before even The Phantom Menace . . . Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in The High Republic It is a golden age. Intrepid hyperspace scouts expand the reach of the Republic to the furthest stars, worlds flourish under the benevolent leadership of the Senate, and peace reigns, enforced by the wisdom and strength of the renowned order of Force users known as the Jedi. With the Jedi at the height of their power, the free citizens of the galaxy are confident in their ability to weather any storm But the even brightest light can cast a shadow, and some storms defy any preparation. When a shocking catastrophe in hyperspace tears a ship to pieces, the flurry of shrapnel emerging from the disaster threatens an entire system. No sooner does the call for help go out than the Jedi race to the scene. The scope of the emergence, however, is enough to push even Jedi to their limit. As the sky breaks open and destruction rains down upon the peaceful alliance they helped to build, the Jedi must trust in the Force to see them through a day in which a single mistake could cost billions of lives. Even as the Jedi battle valiantly against calamity, something truly deadly grows beyond the boundary of the Republic. The hyperspace disaster is far more sinister than the Jedi could ever suspect. A threat hides in the darkness, far from the light of the age, and harbors a secret that could strike fear into even a Jedi’s heart. Read more

    • Reading this book, I can see why the Sith wanted to wipe out the Jedi.
I really wanted to love this book. I've read dozens of Star Wars books and many of them have been quite good. This one is meant to be the opening chapter in a new Star Wars universe. I couldn't wait to read it. There is an endless parade of new characters. The problem is, they are flat. The only character who has any real personality is the starship captain in the first chapter who dies when her ship gets destroyed. Many of the Jedi characters come off sounding arrogant and self-important. They jump out of spaceships to land in heroic poses - hands on hips, chests puffed out - dressed in their gold and white "temple attire" robes. They sound like a cadre of plastic, Disney-esque super heroes eager to launch their shining beacon of self-importance. None of them seem to be much likable. I found myself not really caring about what happens to any of them. And I have never empathized more with the Sith desire to wipe out the Jedi or at least take a red light saber to some of them than I did while reading this book. I also don't like the way the book was written. For one thing, through out the book, the author repeatedly injects into dialogue the characters' full names, titles, and ranks. On the one hand, he has to do this because there are too many characters to keep track of, and because we never really get to meet any of these characters in a meaningful way. The result is distracting and wooden: "'Don't worry, citizen. I am Jedi Knight Loden Greatstorm. I will save the day', said Jedi Knight Loden Greatstorm". The whole book is an exercise in tell, don't show. It's all exposition and that makes it sound less like a good story and more like someone who feels like they are in a rush to introduce an entire universe in one book. It feels like either the author is throwing all these characters against a wall to see what sticks, or they are rushed to send all these characters into merchandise production lines. I grew up idolizing Luke Skywalker because he began as a simple kid on a desert moisture farm who was eager to assert his independence and explore the universe. I could really identify with that. Of course, he gets swept up into confrontations with evil and questions of galactic politics. But we readers and movie watchers got to explore the universe right along with him. It was this sense of wonder and romance that I loved about the early movies. I really wanted to recapture that here, but you won't find it in this book. Everything is explained by the writer. Sometimes, he seems to babble on about details that are intended to be deep and meaningful, but miss the mark. I love books. I love keeping and collecting them. But I might just donate this one to a library, somewhere. ... show more

    • Seriously?
Not needed, does not add to the lore, the myth or magic of Star Wars. This side project will soon be forgotten

    • Lucasfilm falls flat again..
We just got off of the high of Season 2 of the Mandalorian, and then this. The High Republic is not off to a great start. All this book does is try to "prove" how better their Jedi are relative to the Lucas era Jedi. How was Daniel Jose Older included in this High Republic stuff when his one and only SW book, "Last Shot", completely bombed? It's one of the worst SW books of all time. ... show more

Review Image by TheGeeksAttic
Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, was written by Charles Soule. He's written stories for the Star Wars Comics, and he's written his first Star Wars Novel. This novel kicks off a brand new era in Star Wars canon, going back 200 years before the events of the Skywalker Saga. SUMMARY: The galaxy is peaceful, war is a thing of the past. The Republic is strong. The Chancellor, Lina Soh coined the phrase, "We are all the Republic." Peace is tested when an unforeseen event that stems from a hyperspace lane branching out to the outer rim brings destruction and death on a massive scale. Tensions rise throughout as hyperspace lanes are closed off throughout the galaxy. The chancellor calls upon the Republic Defense Coalition (RDC) and the Jedi to investigate what exactly happened in hyperspace, what has the ability to cause planet wide devastation. The Republic was to open up a new outpost station called Starlight Beacon. It will be a Republic embassy, to serve as a fortress, security, medical facility, and even host the largest Jedi outpost outside the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. The Chancellor wants the RDC and the Jedi to resolve the mystery that caused such chaos before the grand opening of the Starlight Beacon. A large group of killers, kidnapers, and raiders called the Nihil, have unintentionally put the spotlight on their regional shenanigans in the outer rim. The organization has a unique hierarchy, with three individuals that rule, and one that has the ability to provide secret pathways of hyperspace lanes, uncharted space-ways to sneak around throughout the outer rim. The Nihil wear masks to appear intimidating and remain anonymous. Their tactics are harsh and cruel, but the group must figure out a way to evolve into something more vile, more disturbing, to survive. Wild events will test the Jedi, the Republic, and even the Nihil in the High Republic Era. Will the Jedi retain their peace and tranquility? Will the Republic stand strong? Will the Nihil overpower all that is good and conquer the galaxy? You should read the novel to find out. CHARACTERS: There are so many wonderful characters I could pick from to talk about; Avar Kriss, Te-Ami, Bell, Lourna Dee, & even Chancellor Soh. But, I will only pick three characters I found most fascinating. Elzar Mann is a Jedi Knight, who sees the force as a deep sea. Its depths are endless. Elzar doesn't approach the force the same way twice. He experiments with the force, diving into the sea of its expansive presence differently each time. Many Jedi are content with the way the force works and the way they can manipulate it. Elzar constantly wants to test its limits, He believes so much can be tapped into that no one else had ever thought possible. He's doesn't intend to be difficult, but always open to new ideas with how to call on the force. He believes his views have held him back from achieving the title, Jedi Master. Marchion Ro is the Eye of the Nihil. The Keeper of the paths in which the Nihil use to creep through the galaxy. He's not quite the leader of the organization, but without him, the Nihil wouldn't be anything special. They'd have to use the same hyperspace lanes as everyone else. Marchion has his secrets. Some that would most certainly bring about an untimely death had the high ranked Nihil called the Tempest Runners, had they found out his big secret. Marchion's past is also shrouded in mystery. So much more could be said about this character, but after-all, this is a spoiler free review. Porter Engle, (once known as the Blade of Bardotta) - He's an Ikkrukki, who's served in the Jedi Order over 300 years. He's held many positions in the Order. Now, with old age, he likes to cook in the small outpost of the planet Ephrona. He's wise, skilled, & cocky. He is ready and willing to give his spirit over to the force when his time is up. OVERALL THOUGHTS: I enjoyed this book I thought it was a good story to tell to kick of a new era in Star Wars. Charles Soule does an excellent job writing new characters, planets, and planting a few little easter eggs throughout the novel. Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi expands the Force and the Universe in the most impressive way. The villains are complex and very interesting to read about. There are many layers to some of the characters, both hero and villain. I love that there are established characters in the book that aren't invincible. Many aspects of the story including character outcomes and plot points are unpredictable. But yes, there are a few things that are easily predicable. Still, the character development was extraordinary. I can't wait to read more about some of the Jedi we were introduced to in this book as well as what comes of some of the villains. Light of the Jedi reveals new layers of the Force and adds Character's you're not going to get enough of! Some story elements came across a little cheesy, but overall, it was really good. While Charles Soule does a great job with descriptions, dialogue, and character development, there are a few minor things that took me out of the Star Wars universe. This is me just being petty, but the use of words like gun & drugs, shouldn't be used. Let's just stick to blaster & spice. However, Soule had many poetic ways of saying things that I found most impressive. Do I recommend you pick up Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi? Yes. A great way to introduce a new era in Star Wars RATING: I give this novel an A ... show more

    • Anyone saying this book is bad is a fake fan.
Charles has a deep appreciation and understanding of the star wars universe that makes him one of the best authors for the role, along with Claudia. Buckle up for an untapped era that fans like myself have been wanting to see for a while. I recommend anyone who likes star wars to read this book.
