The Acolyte premiered on Disney+ this week, serving as a prequel to the iconic films. It takes place during the final days of the High Republic era, which is largely unexplored territory when it comes to Star Wars shows films. However, the High Republic era has been mined extensively in book format. Reading some of the novels, manga, and graphic novels set in this era could enrich your Acolyte viewing experience. Best of all, many Star Wars: The High Republic books are now on sale following the debut of The Acolyte.
One of the most exciting deals is for Light of the Jedi (Hardcover), as it’s now listed for just $17 (down from $28). The New York Times Bestseller follows the Jedi as they investigate a ship that’s been mysteriously blown to pieces and is threatening peace within the galaxy. The book examines how the Jedi maintained stability during the High Republic era–and at 400 pages, there’s a wealth of knowledge (along with an intriguing story) to enjoy. Plus, it’s just the first of five books in the series.
Once you’re done, you can pick up Rising Storm (Hardcover), The Fallen Star (Hardcover), and The Eye of Darkness (Hardcover) for even more action. The fifth novel, Temptation of the Force, is set to release on June 11. If you purchase The Rising Storm or The Fallen Star from Target, you’ll also get an exclusive poster.
You can jump further back in the Star Wars High Republic timeline with Path of Deceit or Path of Vengeance, which take place around 150 years before Light of the Jedi.
Other great deals to consider include a variety of young adult books and manga as well as the graphic novel adaptation of the first phase of the High Republic era. The High Republic Phase I Omnibus is on sale for $61 (was $100). This hardcover adaptation of the novel series clocks in at 544 pages.
