Everything you missed at the Lucasfilm Publishing panel at NYCC 2024

The Lucasfilm Publishing panel is always a highlight at New York Comic Con. This year did not disappoint, especially if you're a fan of The High Republic! Also, new comic series were announced, a title reveal for The Acolyte novels, and more! Let's dive into everything you missed at the panel.

The High Republic

The High Republic was the star of the show, as Phase III will bring the multimedia project to a close for now. Via StarWars.com, several titles, cover art, and concept artwork were revealed.

The showstopper was the reveal of fan favorite characters Avar Kriss, Bell Zettifar, Elzar Mann, Burryaga, and Azlin Rell in Jedi Temple Guard armor, which is in credibly awesome to see. You can see the full lineup on StarWars.com, where it says that they're taking "the battle to the Nihil and the Nameless!"

We also got the titles and covers for several Phase III books. A Valiant Vow is a middle grade book by Justina Ireland staring Imri Cantaros and Tep Tep. Into the Light by Claudia Gray will feature Reath Silas facing dangers as a Jedi Knight.

The villainous (or anti-hero?) Lourna Dee got two new images. First was a look at the comic cover of The High Republic #2. The other was a dangerous dance with Marchion Ro from the upcoming audio drama Tempest Breaker.
