At the 2019 Star Wars Celebration celebrations last April, Lucasfilm and Disney Publishing announced an ambitious program: storytelling related through a series of books, jokes, and if the rumors behind it are unbelievable, perhaps more so.
Authors Cavan Scott (Star Wars: Moving into the Wild Space, IDW & # 39; s Star Wars Adventures), Claudia Gray (Master & Workrentice, Blood), Justina Ireland (The spark of opposition, Lando's luck), Daniel José Older (Last Shot, "Born in the Storm"), and Charles Soule (Marvel & # 39; s Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren, Star Wars: Darth Vader: The Dark Lord of the Sith) were all involved in "Project Luminous," the news will begin to air in 2020, and … that's where the opening documentary ends. No one knew what the story was about, when it was set up, how it could be compiled with the Skywalker Saga, or anything related to what worked.
But we're doing it now.
On Monday night, five writers of Project Luminous and Mike Siglain, creative director, Lucasfilm, met at Walt Disney Studios to pull the curtain on the medieval event. Siglain said he first set up the concept of a Star Wars connected network in 2014. Now, after tons of creative meetings, concept art, and a stamp of approval from Kathleen Kennedy to go wild and explore, Lucasfilm and her publishing partners have given birth to the "Supreme Republic". Happened a pax novel of the Star Wars universe, news of the HIgh Republic finds the Jedi acting as a sort of Knights of the Roundtable galaxy, and a new threat, the punk-apocalyptic Nihil, is pressing them. The premise of books and comics extends to the simple question: "What frightens the Jedi?"
In Episode 1, the stories include Soule's novel The Jedi Light, An Irish middle-school novel Liver Testing, It's Scott The Supreme Republic Marvel comics, Gray & # 39; s It's in the dark novel, and an old IDW book High continent. In the future, The Top Republic will add more print partners including Abrams, becker and Mayor !, DK, Insight Editions, Titan Publishing and Viz Media.
Here is the original concept art from the news, featuring the new Jedi, Mad MaxVillaian villains, some monstrous monsters, and a new station, where most of the Marvel Marvel comics take place.
Is it possible that Project Luminous has expanded beyond the submitted novels and comic books? The Word it continues to spill that the EA is working on the topic of restarting or summoning the spirit of the Knights of the Old Republic, while MakeAnimation.net, who has published well-thought-out details of the building in the past, has suggested that Project Luminous will update directly to the next Star Wars movie. Reportedly, everyone from Kevin Feige to Sleight Director J.D. Dillard it builds on the Lucasfilm feature, but there's nothing official on the slate – other than release dates. New movies launch in December 2022.
A report by SingStarWars.net suggests that future movies will move from the Skywalker timeline and name the "The High Republic" era, which would come 400 years before the events of the Skywalker saga. It was the time when, according to the report, the Sith & # 39; s "Rule of Two" was coined by Darth Bane and Yoda would become (the youngest) Jedi. Written and filtered from Kylo Ren comics by Charles Soule.
It is now a real part of the book series. Don't underestimate the power of the five-dimensional illumination with the keys to Star Wars.
Polygon reports live from the Project Luminous event. We update this story with further details as announced.
