==History==
On December 15, 2020, Star Wars Insider announced that it would be releasing a line of High Republic short stories exclusive to the magazine, beginning with the short story "Starlight: Go Together" in Star Wars Insider 199.
One day prior to The High Republic launch with Charles Soule's Del Rey novel, Light of the Jedi, on January 5, 2021 (initially planned for August 25 of the previous year), a live stream was held on YouTube hosted by Kristin Baver and featuring the five High Republic authors and Michael Siglain, Director of Creative Franchise for Disney–Lucasfilm Press. The panel features a trailer, a discussion between the authors about their collaboration, covers and details for upcoming stories and concept art. In addition, Siglain revealed that the story would be divided into three phases:
*Phase I: Light of the Jedi (January 2021 to March 2022)
*Phase II: Quest of the Jedi (October 2022 to May 2023)
*Phase III: Trials of the Jedi (October 2023 to May 2025)
In the same announcement, Michael Siglain confirmed that new stories would be released on a monthly basis, and a webseries called The High Republic Show, hosted by Krystina Arielle, would be aired bimonthly, featuring deep dives into the creative process behind The High Republic, including interviews with the authors, artists and publishers of the initiative.
