In December 2020, Disney released a free digital sampler of early chapters of the first phase of High Republic books and comics, revealing the main characters for each series. In November 2020, the second chapter of the novel was released on, followed by the next six through the Penguin Random House website. The first chapter of the novel was released in June 2020 through IGN. The series was originally intended to debut with the Light of the Jedi novel in August 2020, a few days before Star Wars Celebration 2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic until January 2021. It shows the Jedi at the height of their power and rise of the Nihil. A trailer was released showing events taking place two centuries before the events of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. On February 24, 2020, Lucasfilm announced a new series of comics and novels called Star Wars: The High Republic, intended to be a publisher-only multimedia project, unrelated to any films in development. Lucasfilm had teased "Project Luminous" in April 2019, prompting intense fan speculation. "Project Luminous" was started in September 2018 with invitations to Star Wars authors including Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule to Skywalker Ranch, with Lucasfilm offering them a "blank slate" in determining the project.
