StarWars.com’s senior content strategist, Dan Brooks, teased:
In an exclusive series, StarWars.com is pulling back the curtain on Star Wars: The High Republic, a publishing epic set centuries before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with insights from creators, new details, and never-before-seen concept art. Arriving January 2021, the story will be explored through multiple voices and span adult and young adult novels, children’s books, and comics from a variety of publishers. In this installment, StarWars.com gets a first look at a legendary Jedi Master as we’ve never seen him before.
The High Republic: Welcome Back Yoda
Brooks began:
“For 800 years have I trained Jedi.”
Yoda lived a long, legendary life. But we’ve only known him through his final act — in the last days of the Republic and Jedi Order, and during the training of Luke Skywalker. In Star Wars: The High Republic, we’ll encounter the Jedi Master centuries prior, and StarWars.com is thrilled to offer a first look [see above].
Brooks also set the stage for Yoda’s “return” to action:
“It’s especially exciting to be able to introduce him in the era of the High Republic,” [author Daniel José] Older tells StarWars.com. “The High Republic Yoda is a journeyman out in the galaxy.” According to Older, the Emperor’s “little green friend” will still be treading somewhat familiar ground — that of teacher.
BTW: I LOVE seeing folks in a special Star Wars moment…. Check out the below illustrator’s reaction to his work being featured:
