High Republic authors gather for a roundtable (minor spoiler alert)
With the High Republic publishing initiative officially coming to an end with the release of Trials of the Jedi on June 17, authors Claudia Gray, Cavan Scott, Michael Siglain, Tessa Gratton, George Mann, Lydia Kang, Alyssa Wong, Zoraida Córdova, and Charles Soule. gathered for a virtual roundtable to discuss unknown facts, how they integrate the already-existing elements of Star Wars, and more.
There are three main things that I believe to be the most interesting from this roundtable. The first one is the fact that Stellan Gios was meant to die at the end of Phase III, but that changed in order to give us a more shocking moment at a different time. While it would have made Phase III even more intense, I think it was the better decision to change that decision.
The second one is a funny interaction between Tessa Gratton and a fan who was very excited about Kevmo Zink. Obviously, he hadn’t finished the book, so Gratton’s response was very awkward and funny.
Last but definitely not least is a teaser for more upcoming High Republic stories. This is what Michael Siglain mentioned about it:
No, it is absolutely not the last time you’ll see the High Republic era. It’s the end of this particular story, but it’s definitely not the end of the era. And we absolutely have plans for other stories. I wouldn’t say it’s Phase IV, but you could say it’s sort of Phase More.
I can’t say much more than that at the moment, but it’s definitely not the end. It’s the end of the beginning.
The interview is edited and sadly, not available in video, but you can read the full article in StarWars.com.
