The One Star Wars TV Show You’re Not Watching Is Taking Lucasfilm’s Boldest Story Risk In Years
These Jedi Younglings don’t know what’s coming for them as Star Wars pushes this TV show into a time of violence and conflict - the High Republic.
Young Jedi Adventures Season 2 Is Set DURING The High Republic Phase I
The end ofYoung Jedi Adventuresseason 1 saw the Jedi attend the opening ceremony of the Starlight Beacon, a space station in the Outer Rim.That places the show firmly in the midst of Phase I ofStar Wars' High Republic multimedia project, and a pivotal moment in theStar Warstimeline. There were many threats facing the galaxy during Phase I, which means the show’s young Jedi will have more than a few challenges to overcome.Young Jedi Adventuresalready featured the Nihil, a band of space marauders, but there should be much more yet to come.
The Nihil were probably the biggest threat the Jedi faced during Phase I of the High Republic, andYoung Jedi Adventuresis about to see them become even more dangerous. Shortly after the Starlight Beacon opened, the Nihil launched a massive attack on the Jedi, which resulted in the space station’s destruction.On top of that, there were also threats beyond the Nihil, like the drengir, a race of carnivorous plant creatures that had been unleashed upon the galaxy. The Jedi of the High Republic were constantly in danger during this time, and the young Jedi will be too.
Young Jedi Adventuresintersects with some of the best, and darkest, storiesStar Warshas told in recent years, and it should be interesting to see how it translates those concepts into children’s television. It likely won’t dive as deeply into the mature themes and scary nature of the era’s enemies. The Drengir, for example, are terrifying by design, and it’s likely that the show will dial their appearance back. Viewers won’t have to wait long to see howYoung Jedi Adventuresseason 2 tackles Phase I, though, now that the release date has been revealed.
