During the days of the Old Republic, back during the ancient Sith Empire, Sith and Jedi had often fought for control over sacred locations that they believed to be strong in the force. Once such location was on Coruscant, which is where the Jedi Order's Jedi Grand Temple was located. This Jedi Temple-which served as the home of the Jedi Order-was built atop a Sith Shrine, a shrine that was still remained underneath the Jedi Temple even during the days of Emperor Palpatine's rule over the galaxy.

After the Jedi controlled this location on Coruscant, what did they do with the Sith Shrine that lurked beneath one of the most sacred places of the Jedi Order? What purpose did the Sith Shrine serve for the Jedi Order?

In the High Republic novel, Into the Dark, Padawan Reath Silas is sent from the galactic capital of Coruscant to the undeveloped frontier. Although the Padawan would rather stay at the Jedi Temple, studying the archives, Reath sets out for the galactic frontier. But when the ship he’s traveling on is knocked out of hyperspace in a galactic-wide disaster, Reath finds himself at the center of the action. The Jedi and their traveling companions find refuge on what appears to be an abandoned space station. But then strange things start happening, leading the Jedi,-including the Umbaran  Jedi Knight and Wayseeker Orla Jareni-to investigate the truth behind the mysterious station. Through their investigation, the Jedi discover a sinister dark side presence within the station, which provides Star Wars fans with an inside look at what the Jedi Order did to combat this sinister and dark side-possibly even Sith-presence. Could this be something that we see again? Maybe in Leslye Headland's Disney+ series Star Wars: The Acolyte or possibly in other High Republic stories? It'll be interesting to see if Disney and Lucasfilm intend to showcase this again, whether it's in another Star Wars comic or novel, possibly in a Disney+ series, or maybe in a Star Wars film. 

The golden age of the Jedi is upon us! The High Republic is set centuries prior to the events of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during the prime of the Jedi Order. A multi-platform publishing initiative with books and comics for all ages, the story introduces new heroes to cheer on, new worlds to explore, and new threats to face. t’s a time of peace and prosperity in the galaxy far, far away. The Republic is thriving and the Jedi Order is at its zenith, with individual Force wielders and their students exploring the galactic frontier and keeping the peace. But the time is not without its conflicts.

Hopefully, we'll continue to get many more announcements from LucasFilm and Disney leading up to Star Wars Day about Disney+ series that are still come. Fans are still waiting for more details to come regarding The Book of Boba Fett and season 3 of The Mandalorian. Hopefully, Star Wars fans can expect more news to come regarding Star Wars: Ahsoka and Star Wars: Visions. It'd be dope if we also got some info on what Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and Robert Rodriguez are working on behind the scenes.

What a time to be a Star Wars fan!
