She knows well enough to know she doesn’t know everything. None of which means she is without doubts - she has plenty, which speaks to her maturity. Granted, she has a lifetime of Jedi training behind her, but it’s impressive nonetheless. How many of us who were convinced at age 16 that we knew everything, now look back and realize just how little we did know? Now imagine making the kind of life and death decisions Vernestra finds herself faced with, and how admirably she reacts in the face of difficulty. She’s the epitome of a character who always tries to do what is right, made more complicated by the fact that she is still a teenager. Vernestra Rwoh is one of the more popular characters from The High Republic, but in my opinion she’s also one of the most important. Vernestra Rwoh is one of the greatest Jedi in the High Republic, and if you’re not reading the middle grade novels, you’re not getting her full impact. But I get the sense that there are some readers who haven’t sampled our books from Disney Lucasfilm Press aimed at a middle grade audience (a target age range of 8-12 years, give or take), and with today's arrival of Justina Ireland’s Star Wars: The High Republic: Mission to Disaster, I’d like to take the opportunity to share what I love about the High Republic middle grade novels, and why you should give them a try. Lucasfilm Publishing’s executive editor on what makes these books special.Īs part of the Star Wars publishing editorial team, I’m extremely proud of what has been accomplished thus far with the Star Wars: The High Republic series, across all formats, from adult novels to all-ages comic books.
