Star Wars: Prelude to Rebellion represented the initial story arc featured in the Star Wars: Republic comic series.
Ki-Adi-Mundi, a Jedi Knight renowned for his considerable power and influence, finds himself in a precarious situation. The majority of citizens on his home planet, Cerea, are content with their simple, low-technology existence, choosing isolation from the Republic. However, an increasingly vocal group desires the advanced technologies brought by those from other worlds. When Ki-Adi-Mundi emerges as a prominent opponent of this technological advancement, he is falsely accused of murder. This accusation plunges him headfirst into a complex web of conspiracy and political machinations, threatening to destabilize the galaxy itself. This intricate plot potentially involves the notorious crime lord Jabba the Hutt and the powerful Trade Federation, effectively setting the stage for the events of Episode I --The Phantom Menace!
