Star Wars: The High Republic Reading Order
We have put a lot of thought into the best order to read the High Republic in, and this list is the result of hours of debate and thoughtful placement.
An Introduction to The High Republic
Check out our full Getting Started with The High Republic Guide for a complete breakdown of everything you need to start reading The High Republic.
What is The High Republic?
The High Republic is a publishing initiative of books, comics, and other media projects surrounding an era of the Star Wars universe that takes place roughly 200 years before The Phantom Menace.
Every piece of new media in The High Republic is created in coordination with every other new story; this means that events in every book, comic, and more often reference events and characters in others.
When referencing The High Republic, you may be describing either the time period or the initiative itself.
When does this all take place?
While the most accurate dates can be found on the Youtini timeline, The High Republic takes place hundreds of years before the Prequel Trilogy.
The first books in the initiative take place around 232 BBY, and the second phase of books takes place around 382 BBY.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum material I need to read to understand The High Republic?
Readers will get the best experience by reading all of the material on this list.
However if you are looking for the most straightforward reading list, stick with the Adult Novels, Audiodramas, and Young Adult Novels.
Do I have to read the comics?
Is it better to read The High Republic in publishing order or chronologic order?
Are short stories necessary? When should I read them?
Phase 1: Light of the Jedi
Two hundred years before the events of The Skywalker Saga, hope and unity converge under the visionary leadership of Republic Chancellor Lina Soh, culminating in the birth of Starlight Beacon—a symbol of light and aid in the outer rim. Phase 1 unfolds as the Legacy Run transport ship bursts apart in the middle of hyperspace travel, thrusting the Jedi into a perilous battle against the villainous Nihil and their malevolent quest to unleash chaos upon the galaxy. Brace yourself as the Jedi struggle to maintain courage and resilience in the face of darkness.

The field "Publish Date" is in the search fields list, but there are no fields in your CMS collection with that name. Edit the field name in the sorting condiguration or add a new CMS field with that name.
Phase 2: Quest of the Jedi
Phase 2 of The High Republic sends us backwards 150 years from the events of Phase 1. It includes an all new cast of characters and a completely original story related to Phase 1. Even though, Phase 2 takes place before Phase 1 chronologically, we do not recommend starting here if this is your first time reading.

Phase 3: Trials of the Jedi
One year after the events of Phase 1, much has changed in the galaxy. Starlight Beacon has fallen and Marchion Ro has erected the Stormwall, establishing the Occlusion Zone. With the balance of the galaxy upended, Phase 3 explores this greater conflict as well as how our heroes have changed in the aftermath of a great tragedy.
