On a Star Wars.com post, it was announced the new young adult literature initiative of the Star Wars universe would be delayed until 2021.
Charles Soule’s (Death of Wolverine) adult novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi and Justina Ireland’s (Dread Nation) middle grade novel Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage will both now release on January 5, 2021. Claudia Gray’s young adult novel Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark has moved to a new release date of February 2, 2021.
New release dates for Marvel’s Star Wars: The High Republic series and IDW Publishing’s Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures series will be announced at a later time. Star Wars: The High Republic is set in an era when the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order are at their zenith, roughly 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
LucasFilm publishing director Michael Siglan posted an open letter to fans with the announcement.
