Saying goodbye to Star Wars: The High Republic

My High Republic journey comes to an end and I need to say thank you

Saying goodbye to Star Wars: The High Republic
Cheers! From the Star Wars: The High Republic - The Finale Variant by Ario Anindito

It is the end – but the moment has been prepared for.

Star Wars: The High Republic – The Finale is out today, bringing this initial stage of High Republic storytelling to an end.

It began as the All-Star Initiative in 2018, became known as Project Luminous, and ends here with 25 novels, 139 comic books issues, 22 short stories, six manga OGNs, five original audios, a web-series, a live action TV show and a pre-school animated series.

It’s hard to know what to write other than thank you.

Thank you to Michael Siglain and Lucasfilm; to Kathleen Kennedy for taking a chance on Mike’s dream, and to George Lucas for creating a galaxy I have been proud to call my home for the last ten years.

To my fellow Lumineers: Claudia, Charles, Daniel, Justina, George, Tessa, Zoraida, Lydia, and Alyssa. To their family members, who have become dear friends.

To the Story Group for all the tough questions and necessary prompts.

To my publishing teams at Marvel, Random House Worlds, Random House Audio, Disney Books, IDW, Dark Horse, and Titan Magazines.

To our wonderful Disney PR folk: Lyssa, Kelly, and Crystal.

To the Young Jedi Adventures producers and writers for welcoming me to the writers’ room.

To my artists on the comics: Ario, George, Andrea, David, Marika, Rachael, Nick, Andy, and Vincenzo.

To our letterers, inkers, colourists, and cover artists – especially Phil Noto, who was there from beginning to end.

To Iain, for the monsters.

To Krystina, for being the face of the High Republic.

To Marc Thompson and the other brilliant audiobook performers for being the voice.

To the fans. Oh, my heavens – the fans.

To everyone who has supported us: buying the books, watching the shows, listening to the audios.

To the cosplayers. The fan artists. Those who came to our panels and stood in line at signings.

To the booksellers, the comic book shop owners, the librarians, and the teachers.

To everyone who has shared their love for the worlds and characters we created.

And above all, my family – Clare, Chloe, and Connie – for living through every part of this with me. You are my light and my life, always.

We are all the Republic.

We are all the High Republic.
