SWNN Live!: The Return of the High Republic
This week on SWNN Live!, team members gathered together to discuss the beginning of Phase III of The High Republic. With the release of the first adult novel, Star Wars The High Republic: The Eye of Darkness dropping on Tuesday, November 14, Tyler Bradshaw, Nate Manning, and myself (Jay Goodearl) discuss more about the upcoming books, and how it may lead into the upcoming live-action show, The Acolyte.
