To be clear, there’s no requirement to watch or read anything from The High Republic to understand or enjoy The Acolyte, but if you do fancy delving into some galactic history then this playlist of The High Republic Show episodes and the character reveal videos over at the Star Wars YouTube channel is one to check out.
The High Republic is set centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during the prime of the Jedi Order. The stories introduce new heroes to cheer on, new worlds to explore, and new threats to face.
For even more from the era, watch The High Republic panel with Michael Siglain with guests Troy Alders, Cavan Scott, Rachael Stott, George Mann and Nick Brokenshire at last months Portsmouth Comic Con.
