The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic takes fans behind the scenes of Phase 1 of Lucasfilm Publishing’s massive crossover event. Collecting the very best concept art of the characters, worlds, ships, and creatures of the High Republic—designed jointly by the Lucasfilm visualists and a team of legendary comic book and Star Wars artists, including Phil Noto, Iain McCaig, and Ryan Church, among many others—and presented alongside development materials and interviews with High Republic architects Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule, this is an essential guide to the creation, design, and realization of this visionary Star Wars era by author Kristin Baver.

The High Republic Phase 1: Light of the Jedi finds the Jedi Order and the Galactic Republic at the height of their respective powers, but following the events of the “Great Disaster,” the Jedi, led by Jedi Knights Avar Kriss, Loden Greatstorm, Keeve Trennis, and Stellan Gios, and joined by a diverse group of Padawans and Jedi Masters, are confronted by the looming threat of the Nihil—a marauding group of Outer Rim anarchists who stand opposed to all the Galactic Republic represents. In The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic, readers will discover the origins of the fan-favorite new characters taking on this threat, as well as exciting new starfighter and creature designs, beautifully rendered environments, and detailed views of Starlight Beacon—the shining symbol of hope in the Republic.

With more than 300 color illustrations, The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic is the only book to explore all facets of the design and artistic direction of a story that spans comic books, novels, and young adult books, taking Star Wars fans of all ages on a deep dive into the development of the New York Times bestselling series.
