The High Republic Era of Star Wars Explained in Under a Minute | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: The High Republic era begins five hundred years before the events of the Star Wars films, and lasts for four centuries. It is seen as a golden age for the Republic and the Jedi Order, who are both at the height of their power and their idealism. With the threat of the Sith gone, the galaxy is largely at peace. So the Republic expands its influence deeper into the Outer Rim, sharing resources and prosperity with new planets. When conflicts do arise, the Republic and the Jedi both seek peace and negotiation, as seen on the warring neighbor worlds of Eiram and E’ronoh. But a group of marauders called the Nihil oppose the expansion of light and life into their territory. They wage war against the Republic in a corner of the Outer Rim, unleashing a Nameless, terrifying weapon that has the power to petrify Jedi and any other Force users. The ongoing High Republic books and comics first shaped this era, taking place four to two hundred years before the events of the Skywalker Saga. But we will soon see the High Republic era in live action when The Acolyte premieres. That series is said to take place in the final days of the High Republic, so it should be around one century or so before the Battle of Yavin. #starwars
