If you want to stay completely spoiler-free, skip to the main High Republic reading order list. There are also detailed lists for Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III that include all materials in the series. A complete list of High Republic material is also available as a Google Sheet and may be easier to read on mobile devices.
What is Star Wars: The High Republic?
Although often considered a book series, Star Wars: The High Republic is an ongoing multimedia project of interconnected stories. The series features adult novels, junior novels, young readers, comic series, comic miniseries, comic one-shots, comic short stories, audio dramas, short stories, manga, and reference books. Many of the stories take place at the same time, following a growing cast of characters through related events.
The High Republic series is a collaboration between the Lucasfilm Story Group, members of the Lucasfilm publishing and licensing teams, and a pool of writers and storytellers. The original writers announced for the series were Claudia Gray, Justina Ireland, Daniel José Older, Cavan Scott, and Charles Soule. The list of authors has grown with each wave and now includes 13 storytellers, along with countless artists, illustrators, and editors.
The series was first teased as Project Luminous at Star Wars Celebration Chicago on Monday, April 15, 2019. The High Republic series was officially announced on Monday, February 24, 2020. The release was planned to coincide with Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in August 2020. However, the series debut was delayed until 2021 due to manufacturing delays related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
So far, there are three phases in The High Republic series, with each having multiple waves of releases. Phase I: The Light of the Jedi began on Tuesday, January 5, 2021. Featuring more than 70 individual stories in three waves, the bulk of the first phase of content ended in March 2022.
Phase II: Quest of the Jedi was announced on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, with the first story coming out in September 2022. Spread across two waves of material, this phase features 35 released or announced titles to date. A subsequent Phase III, titled Trials of the Jedi, is planned for November 2023.
How Do You Read the Star Wars The High Republic Books in Order?
Unfortunately, reading The High Republic books in order is a bit complicated for several reasons. First, there are multiple phases of the story. And each phase has multiple waves of content. There is a main story within each wave, with the other materials telling stories about related characters and events.
Second, the books themselves were not released in chronological order. They make sense within each wave, but it can be confusing if you did not start the series when it first came out.
Thirdly, each Phase tells stories about a growing list of characters. Different books or materials cover the storyline for that character, so reading them out of order can be disorienting.
Lastly, Phase II is actually a prequel to Phase I, so skipping between the two can be extremely confusing. This is especially true since many of the plotlines are related, despite the large time gap between them.
| Phase | Timeline (BBY) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 | ~382 BBY | Prequel to Phase 1, 150 years before Phase 1, ~350 years before the Skywalker Saga |
| Phase 1 | 232–230 BBY | Initial High Republic era, ~200 years before the Skywalker saga |
| Phase 3 | 229–228 BBY | Sequel to Phase 1, ~200 years before the Skywalker saga |
Ultimately, The High Republic is an anthology series like the early seasons of The Clone Wars 2008 animated TV series. Although each story stands on its own, they are interconnected and share many characters and plot points. Reading them out of order won’t spoil the overarching High Republic story, but it can spoil some of the character development and minor plot points.

Phase II: Quest of the Jedi Reading Order
Phase II of The High Republic is set 150 years before Phase I and 350 years before the Skywalker Saga. The stories take place around 384 BBY and build upon the tales of galactic expansion and hyperspace prospecting mentioned during Phase I.
Phase II has two waves of content. As with the first phase, each wave features an adult novel that sets the main story and tone. The subsequent stories expand on the stories and characters mentioned in the adult novel. Since Wave 1 is ongoing and more Wave 2 titles are expected, the exact chronological placement of each story may change.

Rooks is an SEO strategist, copywriter, and content editor who occasionally masquerades as a designer, photographer, brewer, or cook.
A lifelong Star Wars geek, his earliest memories are playing with Kenner action figures while watching the Original Trilogy on VHS. Aside from keeping up with the latest Star Wars content, he enjoys living out his own Star Wars story at Galaxy’s Edge East.
Rooks is passionate about cooking and loves discussing and occasionally writing about food, beer, and cocktails. Never far from his emotional support laptop, you can often find him hammering out words at local coffee shops or breweries around Orlando.
His other interests include starting a new hobby every week, watching old Columbo episodes, and avoiding folding the laundry. Aside from Star Wars, his fandoms include the MCU, Harry Potter, Battlestar Galactica, and the Lord of the Rings.
