Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures 1 represents the debut issue of the 2023 comic miniseries titled Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures. Daniel José Older penned the story for this inaugural issue, while the artwork was crafted by Harvey Tolibao, Nick Brokenshire, and Michael Atiyeh. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on December 6, 2023.
"Death is all around us, especially out here on the fringes of the war." One year has elapsed since the fall of Starlight. Lula Talisola, a Padawan, and numerous others have vanished and are now thought to be deceased. Zeen is in mourning and patiently waiting at the Almohaj Cantina, a Republican Outpost situated on the planet Eriadu. When they intercept a compelling message originating from Tartak Vil, a warlord located on the distant moon of Bracront, Zeen, Qort, and a droid preoccupied with contemplating the void, known as 5AG3 [sic], must embark on another journey through hyperspace. Their mission is to mend their divided team and, potentially, the entire galaxy.
Older provided a sneak peek of two panels extracted from the issue within a November 2023 newsletter. Within the same newsletter, he conveyed his excitement about the return of the Adventures ensemble of characters, affectionately referring to them as his "chaos children."
