Star Wars: The High Republic is a multimedia project consisting of various stories from the Star Wars franchise set during the "High Republic" era, which spans approx. 500 to 100 years before[2] the Skywalker Saga and is set hundreds of years after the fall of the "Old Republic". The initiating event of the sub-franchise is "The Great Disaster" involving the antagonistic "space Vikings" known as the Nihil and the subsequent intervention of the Jedi.

The series' novel series is divided into three phases.[3] The first, Light of the Jedi, ran from January 2021 to February 2022. The second phase, Quest of the Jedi, started in October 2022.[4] The third phase, Trials of the Jedi, began in November 2023 with the release of George Mann's novel The Eye of Darkness.[5] The series' television series include the animated Young Jedi Adventures (2023–present) and the live-action The Acolyte (2024).
