The galaxy is at peace, ruled by the glorious REPUBLIC and protected by the noble and wise JEDI KNIGHTS. But just as a magnificent renaissance spreads throughout the Republic, so does a frightening new adversary....

Welcome to The High Republic, a new era of Star Wars fiction, being told in novels, YA books, and comics. Set two hundred years before the Skywalker Saga, the High Republic is an age when the galaxy is expanding and the Jedi are as powerful as ever. But from the shadows of the galactic frontier comes an enemy unlike anything the Jedi have ever faced before, a group of killers who have somehow managed to weaponize hyperspace!

Join Ryan Daly on this episode of Give Me Those Star Wars as he welcomes returning guest Jonathan Schaefer-Hames and newcomer James Hickson to review the first novel in this new saga, LIGHT OF THE JEDI, written by Charles Soule. What do they think of the novel, of this new era of Star Wars, of the noble heroes and the dreaded villains? Tune in to find out!
