Thomas took special note of Kylo Ren’s cross-saber design as something befitting the era, but found it didn’t quite work for what he hoped to achieve. “He needed an iconic weapon that could stand beside the other famous lightsabers, but at the same time be unique to him and evoke the time period of the High Republic.” “When designing Stellan’s lightsaber, I looked at the iconic lightsabers that have already been established,” Thomas says. Thomas further developed Stellan’s lightsaber hilt. But fans can get their first look at the lightsaber of Stellan Gios, a Jedi Master during the High Republic era, here on with this exclusive preview from Insight Editions’ The Lightsaber Collection, a compendium coming October 20 and available for pre-order now.įollowing early explorations with artist Grant Griffin, Disney Publishing illustration manager Jeff R. Star Wars: The High Republic, a storytelling epic that kicks off in January 2021, will tell stories set centuries prior to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, during the very peak of the Jedi Order. “Internally, we often refer to the Jedi of this era as ‘the Jedi Knights of the Round Table.’ Taking that idea one step further, their sabers can be viewed as their own versions of Excalibur.” “We wanted to make the Jedi distinctive and instantly recognizable as Jedi Knights of the High Republic, and that applies not only to their clothing but to their lightsabers, as well,” says Michael Siglain, Lucasfilm Publishing’s creative director.
So they took inspiration from one of the most legendary swords in storytelling.
Note that the kit itself and all future ones will be hosted on the BioWare Digital Media Page.Īre you ever going to be able to use OT and Prequel characters? with the addition of the Jedi robe finally, it's a step closer to looking like items that are pulled from the movies, i know u probably cant use lightsaber hilts and direct armor styles cause your talking about that now for in game canon, but what is the rule for you guys using items from the OT and Prequel 1-6 films? it's been very shaky, at first the soundtrack did not have barely any john Williams music, there was a complete original soundtrack, but in 2012 the actual john Williams music was added to the game and not many people noticed, cause so many people come and go.When it came to designing lightsabers for the High Republic era, Lucasfilm knew that they had to be special - elegant weapons for a more civilized age, as Obi-Wan Kenobi might say. First up in this series is Lana Beniko with more to come in the future! I'm really happy to introduce a series of character kits that the Art Team has prepared for those who are interested in cosplay or are already experienced in the craft.
