The first details about Star Wars' long fabled "Project Luminous" were officially announced today with Lucasfilm and DIsney Publishing pulling back the curtain on "The High Republic" publishing event, meant to help "fuel the fandom" in the years waiting for the next theatrical chapter in the franchise. The new series will be set 200 years before the Skywalker Saga begins and will feature all-new Jedi characters but it's the all-new villains that have caught fans' attention. Revealed at the event, The High Republic will introduce The Nihils to the franchise, a group whose name is raising eyebrows across the galaxy far, far away.
