Star Warsis celebrating the 20th anniversary ofStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithin the most shocking way , by turning a monstrous wash of Force predators on the Wookiee satellite Kashyyyk . George Lucas had always wanted to visit the Wookiee homeworld , Kashyyyk ; in fact , it originally appeared inReturn of the Jedi(theWookiees were replaced by the Ewoks ) . He finally pull it off inRevenge of the Sith , ship Master Yoda on a missionary post there . Now , Star Warsis headed back to Kashyyyk - in a terrific way .
Lucasfilm is currently exploring theHigh Republic Era , in a serial of escapade lay out C before the Skywalker saga . George Mann ’s newfangled hearable sole , Haunted Starlight , reveal that an ancient opposition - once call back defeated and destroyed - has returned . TheDrengir are ancient allies of the Sith , carnivorous flora - creatures with a dark side hive mind . The Jedi believed the Great Progenitor , center of the hive creative thinker , was dead -but it has survived , and it has set its sights on Kashyyyk .
Why The Great Progenitor Is Targeting Kashyyyk
It Fears An Even Greater Threat
Lucasfilm’sStar Wars : The High Republictransmedia enterprisingness is drawing to a faithful right now , and the Jedi are face a dangerous menace known as the Blight . This looks like a sort of " anti - Force , " take living tissue and entire worlds alike , andthere have been breath it is striking on planets that have antecedently seen Drengir activity . The Drengir , of course , are terrified .
The problem , though , is that the Drengir have no idea what they ’re heading into . Kashyyyk has already been exposed to the Blight , meaning they ’re literally traveling toward one of the planets where they ’re at greatest peril . The Drengir seek sanctuary , but they ’re instead stepping - or slithering - into the line of fire .
Will The Drengir Remain On Kashyyyk?
This Seems To Be A Planet Rich In The Force
Oddly enough , though , I’m not entirely convinced this is setup for a report coif during the High Republic Era . There have already been elusive hints of Drengir activity on Kashyyyk in the original trilogy era , meaning it ’s entirely possible these creatures will hide themselves aside on the luxuriant , extravagantly - vegetated world for centuries . In that scenario , they presumptively pull round the Blight … and could return to angry walk theStar Warsgalaxy afresh .
The Empire buck through Kashyyyk like a wildfire , and their actions may well vex the Drengir . In that scenario , Palpatine would incur one of the ancient Sith allies emerging from the shadows to oppose him . or else , they could instead emerge in the post - Return of the Jediera , a terrific terror for Luke Skywalker and his otherStar Warsallies to confront .
