A new preview has been released for the never before seen time period of the High Republic, set 200 years before Episode 1 of the Skywalker Saga.
This means that the long-lived and popular Jedi Master Yoda is very much alive and well during this era, training Padawans on an academic star cruiser. A new preview for IDW Publishing's Star Wars: High Republic Adventures #1 has confirmed Yoda's active status, showing fans for the first time what one of the most powerful Jedi was up to during the High Republic. This includes his involvement during the inciting incident known as the Great Hyperspace Disaster.
The High Republic has been described in teases and previews as an era of great peace and prosperity for both the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order. It's in this era that the be a big part of that Jedi training.
IDW's High Republic series will be geared towards a younger demographic than that of Marvel's series, following Yoda and his class of Padawans led by writer Daniel Jose Older with artist Harvey Tolibao and Rebecca Nalty--and no doubt providing new insights on the training of young Jedi. Check out young Yoda in the preview images for IDW's first issue of High Republic Adventures below:
As the preview images show, new threats such as the Nihil:
“I’m so very excited to be able to tell this epic story of Padawans as the galaxy changes dramatically around them and danger lurks around every corner. Working on The High Republic has been a dream come true and getting to watch this world come to life through the brilliant art of Harvey Tolibao is one of the highlights of my career. I can’t wait for the fans to see what we’re cooking up."
With these recent previews and teases coming from creators and publishers, The High Republic can't come soon enough. Having already been delayed due to the pandemic, the first wave of books and comics will be releasing to new Jedi alongside Master Yoda himself, who looks like he'll be a big part of the new Star Wars: High Republic Adventure series from IDW.
