OUT NOW IN HARDBACK: 'THE HIGH REPUBLIC - THE BATTLE OF JEDHA'


First introduced in Rogue One - A Star Wars Story, the fabled planet of Jedha was shown to us onscreen as a wrecked, troubled world of diverse chaos and dissident action, whose holy temples were continually ransacked and its natural resources mined by the evil and tyrannical Empire for use against the galaxy. Now, with the latest adventure in the all-new world popular The High Republic multi-media event series, we go back in time to discover the once spiritually enlightened world as it was before the dark times were prevalent, when many of its people, and other pilgrims, worshipped the Jedi and their spirit of Force goodness working to benefit peoples across the galaxy, in an all-new adventure script from George Mann - The Battle of Jedha, available now in the UK from Century Publishing.

The official release info:

After the events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi travel to Jedha in this full script for the Star Wars audio original The Battle of Jedha.

Jedha, The worn streets of this ancient world serve as a confluence for the galaxy. Visited by all, yet owned by none. Here, the Jedi are but one creed among many worshipping and studying the Force. From the Guardians of the Whills to the Path of the Open Hand, countless beings come to learn, and to share, in peace. 

As all of Jedha prepares for its Festival of Balance, the galaxy still reels from the violence on Eiram and E'ronoh. But after foiling a plot to escalate the war between the two planets, the Jedi believe that a lasting peace may be within reach. Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight Aida Forte arrive on Jedha with delegations from both planets to formally end the 'Forever War." The Jedi hope that the harmony of Jedha's many factions, along with the signing of a peace treaty, will create a symbol to the rest of the galaxy of what can be accomplished through unity. 

But not all are happy with the Jedi's involvement or ready to concern themselves with peace. Rumours begin to swirl that the Jedi bring war in their wake. The distrust and anger that for for so long fuelled he Forever War now threaten to corrupt the communities of Jedha. When violence breaks out on the sacred moon, the war that was meant to end on Jedha may soon engulf the entire world .
