Instead of overwhelming audiences with too many characters, each new addition feels like a piece of an epic puzzle that’s only just beginning. They’re all key parts of a larger narrative. They’re not just exact copies of one another with different names.

Each new Jedi, for instance, adds a new perspective on the Force, the Order, the Republic, and Star Wars as a whole. The “architects” (authors), editors, artists, and all others involved have an undeniable and deep understanding of the characters they’re bringing to life and the universe they’re expanding. Giving him a talent for cooking – a skill that doesn’t care whether you’re strong in the Force or not – makes him more relatable.Īs Lucasfilm Publishing creative director Michael Siglain told, “Showing our Jedi heroes cooking and baking helps to both humanize and personalize them, and Yacek is no exception.” Something that makes the Jedi of the High Republic exceptionally unique is that each new Force-wielding character is given a distinct quality that sets them apart from the rest.

Jedi Master Nyla Quinn is known for her kindness where most of those on her homeworld are anything but.
