Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Reveals New Secrets of the High Republic
Warning: this article contains full story spoilers for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor!
Even though Star Wars Jedi: Survivor takes place between the events of Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, it also features an era from hundreds of years in the past known as the High Republic. The High Republic was first revealed in 2020 as a publishing-only initiative but is now slowly being incorporated into other media, with the Disney+ shows Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures and The Acolyte taking place during that era and now Survivor using flashbacks and such to offer a glimpse into the past. Throughout the course of the game, Survivor reveals numerous characters, locations, and concepts from the High Republic that have never been seen before on-screen, so here’s a primer on the High Republic and a rundown of all the new information we’ve learned about this bygone era.
The High Republic is an era of peace, prosperity, and expansion for the Galactic Republic. It spanned from 500 BBY to 100 BBY, well before the events of the Skywalker Saga. This was a golden age for the Jedi Order where their numbers and resources were plentiful, as evidenced by their opulent lightsaber designs with blade colors ranging from teal to orange, and fancy robes trimmed with gold.
There were no active major conflicts at this time, and so with no wars to fight, the Jedi and the Republic focused on exploring the galaxy. During this period, the most significant threat to the galaxy were the marauding space vikings known as the Nihil, but even with them causing trouble, the High Republic is known as a time of relative harmony.
