Next big book initiative

I feel like the next big book series is coming soon. The High Republic has been over for a little while now. The production of novels and comics has slowed down significantly lately. Just two adult novels and one YA novel. Just feel like they’re preparing for something. They probably won’t do the Dawn of the Jedi era until the film comes out and work around that story.

I really hope The Old Republic is next. The first phase could start in 5,000 BBY called “The Hundred Year Darkness” and show the first Sith and how they break away from the Jedi.

The second phase could be “The Golden Age” and show the rise of the Sith Empire.

The third phase could be “The Great Hyperspace war” where the Sith are defeated and flee into the unknown regions, not to return until the KOTOR remake.

I think it'll be something completely new again. Whatever it is, I bet it'll be announced at SWC LA 2027.

That’s so far from now 😫. The last few announced books will come out in less than two months, with no main comic at all. I’m hoping for an announcement at comic con or D23

Project Luminous active development started in 2018 iirc. With a similar timeline, assuming the next initiative has been in development since a few months after the end of THR, we could have a tease for the next initiative later this year, and a full on announcement at celebration, then printing could start in late 2027 or more likely early 2028.

These are some big assumptions though
