Star Wars: Project Luminous Titles Announced

Posted by Steve on

Disney and Lucasfilm finally released details about the much hyped Project Luminous, a massive publishing initiative that we first heard about some time ago. All the key players were present and accounted for Monday night on the Disney lot for what was a magical evening of big reveals and big fun.



The night, hosted by Bobby Moynihan, featured Q & A's with the authors and a ton of concept art, including covers for each new title.

Later this year, Lucasfilm will launch an epic new era of Star Wars storytelling that will be explored through multiple voices in adult and young adult novels, childrens books, and comics from a variety of publishers including Disney Lucasfilm Press, Del Rey, IDW Publishing, and Marvel.



Star Wars: The High Republic, which has previously been referred to as Project Luminous, will be set in an era when the Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order are at their zenith, about 200 years before the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. This period on the Star Wars timeline will not overlap any of the filmed features or series currently planned for production, giving creators and partners a vast amount of room to tell Star Wars stories with new adventures and original characters.



As previously announced, Star Wars: The High Republic has enlisted top-tier, fan-favorite authors Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule to craft this new era of Star Wars publishing.



The first books and comics are set to debut at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in August 2020 with Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, a massive interconnected story thats told across various formats by various publishers.
