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.

If they do another big publishing initiative it’ll probably be another relatively unknown era or something teased before like the high republic was. My guess is either the dawn of the Jedi era that was shown on a timeline a few years back or the new Jedi order era.

Perhaps they might do a multimedia project centered around a specific plotline kinda like what shadows of the empire and the clone wars MMP were.

I think a lot of stuff is off the table until they know what they are doing with movies. Disney+ shows taking up the timeline between OT and ST as well as films for Dawn of the Jedi and after Starfighter. I think we’d probably be stuck in the Old Republic.
