Throughout the years main as much as the occasions of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, the Jedi Order was in a definite descent from the good and good presence they as soon as have been for the galaxy throughout the Excessive Republic Period. The Jedi Council was utterly answerable for the Order’s actions, and have been rising increasingly restrictive of what the Jedi may and couldn’t do, as they turned extra remoted on Coruscant, slightly than interacting with the individuals of the galaxy.

Lucasfilm has introduced (through Gizmodo) a brand new novel going down shortly earlier than the occasions of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

Within the 12 months earlier than The Phantom Menace, Yoda, Mace Windu, and your complete Jedi Council confront a galaxy on the point of change.

The Jedi have all the time traveled the celebs, defending peace and justice throughout the galaxy. However, the galaxy is altering, and together with it, the Jedi Order. Increasingly more, the Order finds itself centered on the way forward for the Republic, secluded on Coruscant, the place the twelve members of the Jedi Council weigh crises on a galactic scale.

As one more Jedi Outpost leftover from the Republic’s golden age is about to be decommissioned on the planet Kwenn, Qui-Gon Jinn challenges the Council in regards to the growing isolation of the Order. Mace Windu suggests a daring response: all twelve Jedi Masters will embark on a goodwill mission to assist the planet, and remind the individuals of the galaxy that the Jedi stay as stalwart and current as they’ve been throughout the ages.

However the arrival of the Jedi management isn’t seen by all as a trigger for celebration. Warring pirate factions have infested the sector within the growing absence of the Jedi.

The Dwelling Pressure sees Qui-Gon Jinn, a famously maverick Jedi, persuade the Council to go to a world they’ve lately stopped offering assist to. Qui-Gon declined a suggestion to be on the Jedi Council prior to now, and has been in battle with it many occasions earlier than, which is able to certainly play into this novel.
