Quest for the Hidden CityThis will contain spoilers for "Star Wars: Quest for the Hidden City" As the writer behind "Star Wars: Myths and Fables", George Mann is no stranger to "Star Wars", but with "Star Wars: Quest for the Hidden City" he takes his first step into the world of "The High Republic." For those unfamiliar with "The High Republic", it's the publishing initiative that sets the clock back on the prequel era by a couple of centuries. The second phase, which we're in now, sets it back even further. The galaxy is one big frontier. Communication is slower, the Republic is smaller. And the Jedi are like frontier sheriffs and explorers. In Phase One, we were introduced to the Nihil, a vicious band of pirates who work to undo the Jedi and monopolize the hyperspace lanes through the galaxy. In the second phase, with the clock turned back, the Nihil is but a twinkle in the galaxy's eye and the hyperspace prospectors and Jedi Pathfinder teams explore the wild edges of space. Though "The High Republic" has been primarily in printed media, that is set to change with "Star Wars: The Acolyte", the Leslye Headland run "Star Wars" show heading to Disney+ in the future. "Quest for the Hidden City" is a middle-grade adventure yarn that follows a Jedi Pathfinder team and the problems they face in exploring new planets in the galaxy and biting off more than they can chew. It largely revolves around a Jedi Padawan named Rooper Natani and her master, Silandra Show as they investigate a frightening distress signal on a pair of twin worlds. The other major POV character is the son of a hyperspace prospector named Dass. He and his father have been stranded on a planet thought to be abandoned by a fellow prospector who double-crossed them. But there is more to the planet Gloam than they realize and the mystery deepens as the book continues.
