Set hundreds of years before the Skywalker Saga, Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures – The Complete Phase I chronicles a time of galactic renaissance when the Jedi are at the height of their power and the Republic is experiencing unparalleled peace…until a mysterious evil known as the Nihil threatens to cast its shadow over all the free worlds of the galaxy!
