Star Wars' Pre-High Republic History Is Largely Unknown.
The Pooban Jedi may also shine a light on a still unexplored era of Star Wars that canon has yet to truly define.
Alongside being the first depiction of the Pooba species created for the series,Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventuresseason 2may take the series through galactic history. With the carving and saber presumably being built long before the series, which is set largely 200 years before the events ofThe Phantom Menace, thePooban Jedi hero may have lived within the events of Phase 2 of the publishing initiative150 years prior.

Star Wars has debunked the most logical explanation for one of A New Hope’s most hilariously absurd Death Star design flaws.
Withinthe canonStar Warstimeline,theHigh Republic era is preceded by the Dawn of the Jedi and Old Republic eras. Though the former is largely unknown in canon, many elements within the Old Republic, such as certain individuals and events, resemble their Legends counterparts, though many of these glimpses are only seen through stories set later on in the timeline. As such, the mystery Pooban master may be another hero of this time established in stories set long after their time.
Regardless,Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures’latest clip sets up a lot of excitement for the show’s return. Alongside more lighthearted adventures set within the main High Republic period, there is interest to see early eras depicted on screen. No matter whether Nubs' Pooban hero lived during the Night of Sorrows or the conflict between the Republic and Mandalorians, there is anticipation for the series' galactic history lesson.
