Although heading back to Disney World has been quite the adventure itself, the newest Star Wars book will take fans to a galaxy far, far away in a time WAY before the stories that we know and love.

According to The Hollywood ReporterThe High Republic: A Test of Courage will have a connection between one of its primary characters and another hero from the 2015 Star Wars comics brought to life by Marvel.

The novelist Justina Ireland stated during the Disney-Lucasfilm Publishing panel at Comic-Con at Home that the lineage behind fan-favorite Sana Starros will be revealed. Since the story takes place centuries before Star Wars: A New Hope, Starros won’t be in The High Republic book herself

However, her “great, great, many-times-great ancestor” will be in it, but Ireland has said that “there won’t be a direct relation there because genetics are murky in the Star Wars galaxy.”The High Republic: A Test of Courage will be following Avon Starros, who is one of the co-leads in the new book.

Rise of the Resistance

Although Sana Starros is a “ruthless scoundrel,” her ancestor will be pretty different. Ireland has revealed that “Avon is a 12-year-old girl, she has been sent to the edge of the galaxy by her mother who’s a republic senator because she’s just trouble. She is a scientist and the only things she wants to know are the answers to the questions that drive her. So, ‘How does the Force work, from a scientific perspective?’ That might be something a scientist would want to know. ‘What happens if you take a khyber crystal out of a lightsaber, what does that look like?’”

Galaxy’s Edge

The High Republic: A Test of Courage will make its way to the shelves and online in January 2021. And, Star Wars fans will also be happy to read The Art of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge that upcoming spring as well! Author Amy Ratcliffe’s book will be filled with artwork, photos, and more that will take guests behind the scenes of Galaxy Edge’s development!
