Dark Horse Comics presents Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Complete Phase I, collected in one volume for the first time. The compendium is written by New York Times bestselling author Daniel José Older, illustrated by Harvey Tolibao, colored by Rebecca Nalty, and lettered by Jake M. Wood. The Complete Phase I collects the entire series including short stories and will be followed by the collection of another Phase I four-issue miniseries, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures: The Monster of Temple Peak and Other Stories, written by Cavan Scott, with interior and cover art by Rachael Stott, lettering by Studio RAM and colors by Watermark Studio.

Set hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Complete Phase I chronicles a time of galactic renaissance when the Jedi are at the height of their power and the Republic is experiencing unparalleled peace…until a mysterious evil known as the Nihil threatens to cast its shadow over all the free worlds of the galaxy!

Follow the adventures of Lula, Farzala, and Qort, untested Jedi Padawans, and their Masters, Torban “Buckets of Blood” Buck and Master Yoda, on their mission to rescue the inhabitants of the planet Trymant IV in the wake of a deadly Nihil attack. Two of those citizens, teenagers Zeen and Krix, will have to decide whether to go against all they believe and trust the Jedi, or go it alone and risk falling prey to the Nihil’s evil plans. 

Perfect for readers of all ages, The Complete Phase I collects the entire Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures (Phase I) series by Daniel José Older and Harvey Tolibao, with six never-before-collected issues, a new epilogue story, and of course, the fan-favorite The Galactic Bake-Off Spectactular one-shot!

An even longer time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the adventures continued for Lula and her fellow Padawans in the Republic’s golden age!
The High Republic is an unexplored period in Star Wars history, set hundreds of years before the events of the Skywalker Saga-when the Jedi were at their height, and Master Yoda was much younger and still training Padawans in the field.
It is here that we find Jedi Padawans Farzala and Qort, who are taking a break from the ongoing battle against the dangerous marauders known as the Nihil. As part of a secret mission, they join an aging Jedi Knight on The Vessel to negotiate a peace treaty with the Hutt crime family. Hey, what could go wrong? As it turns out: literally everything.
Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures is part of a broader storytelling initiative exploring a mysterious, bygone era of the Galactic Republic through comics and prose. Collects Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures issues #6-8, the 2021 Free Comic Book Day story, and the 2021 Annual!
