The High Republic Has Revealed There Never Was A Golden Age
It Was Only A Golden Age Through Nostalgia
This by nature leads to an seeming conflict between the story order inStar war : The eminent Republicand Obi - Wan ’s comment . Over the span of just over a year , the extragalactic nebula has been faced with a Great Hyperspace Disaster that leave one thousand thousand dead , a massacre at a Galactic Fair intended to serve as a celebration of the Republic , and the destruction of Starlight Beacon - the great symbol of the Jedi and the Republic . In George Mann’sEye of Darkness , Jedi Masters are brutally execute live on the Holonet .

The Disasters Of The High Republic Led To The Jedi’s Downfall
They Permanently Changed The Jedi Order
It is deserving observe that , reckon beyond these catastrophes , most of the High Republic Era does seem to be largely passive . What is more , even these grand cataclysms give the Jedi of the High Republic the chance to be the " guardians of peace and jurist " they were key as - albeit in a roundabout and ex post facto way . This in all probability seems so acute becauseStar war : The High Republicis still being published ; when the story is complete , and ( presumably ) the Jedi profits , it ’s very potential they ’ll have guarded peace of mind and justice exhaustively and kill the Nihil , at a monetary value .
These are still retcons , however , butthey do serve well a aim . It ’s already becoming clearStar war : The High Republicis the beginning of the Jedi Order ’s decline , and the various disasters will see the Jedi Order of the High Republic Era - bright and confident , bluff and heroic - become the withdrawn , dogmatic and impersonal Monk of theStar Warsprequel trilogy . Star Wars : The High RepublicPhase III has introduced the Guardian Protocols , the emergency protocols that governed the Jedi response to the Nihil - and their influence on the Order is well visible , with the Jedi withdrawing from the wider galaxy and centering themselves on Coruscant . This really is the story of how the Jedi became the blemished order visualise in theStar Warsprequel trilogy , with so many weaknesses take vantage of by Palpatine himself .
