Star Wars The High Republic
.
Disney announced a new line of books set in the Star Wars universe that are supposed to cement the future of the Star Wars franchise. These book are part of a publishing initiative titled Star Wars The High Republic and one of the writers involved, Charles Soule, has already confirmed a few of the characters that will be showing up in these stories.

The Star Wars High Republic stories will be told through novels and comic books. Disney’s press release states “This period on the Star Wars timeline will not overlap any of the filmed features or series currently planned for production” — meaning that The High Republic will be limited largely to print stories for now, not the next big-budget Star Wars movie or Disney Plus show. Still, if the stories do well and resonate with fans, there’s no reason to assume that The High Republic era won’t make the jump to film at some point down the line.” Which is why the two characters mentioned by Soule have great speculative potential.

Of the two characters, Burrayaga Agaburry and Avar Kriss, only one of them has already appeared within the Star Wars Universe. Avar Kriss appeared as a hologram in a few panels of Star Wars The Rise of Kylo Ren #3. This book would be considered her first cameo appearance.

Over the past two days since Soule tweeted about this character, Star Wars The Rise of Kylo Ren #3 has started selling from $7 to $15. This book also has a one in twenty-five variant cover which we mentioned in a previous Week in Review.

The first appearance is a great book to be purchasing as it seems Disney is building the groundwork for an entire universe of new characters. Who knows where this character will fit into the Star Wars story? Only time will tell.

Great article! These are exciting times for the SWEU 🙂
All things SW are really starting to take off! I actually flipped a lot of Kylo Ren #2 for triple the price – only to turn around and buy MORE copies in bulk lol….seeing a lot of long term potential there for this series. Thanks to this website I learned about my new favorite character Doctor Aphra! Managed to snag a few first appearances at a decent price. I’ve also noticed the prices of Kylo Ren #1 1st prints are starting to sell above $50. I bought as many as I could between the $40-$45 range
