Sarra Venalskar was a human who served as a Jedi of the Jedi Order[1] around 382 BBY,[3] during the High Republic Era.[1] In 229 BBY,[4] Jedi Master Harli Cogra wrote a book titled Chronicles of the Jedi, which detailed the Jedi of the High Republic Era. In the second chapter of the book in a section titled "The Frontier Jedi," Cogra included an image of[1] her[2] wielding a blue-bladed lightsaber and wearing brown Jedi robes.[1]
Behind the scenes
Sarra Venalskar was created for the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project, and was first revealed in the announcement trailer for the project which was posted on the official Star Wars YouTube channel on February 25, 2020.[5] The character was later identified by name in the 2023 in-universe reference book Star Wars: The High Republic: Chronicles of the Jedi, written by Cole Horton and illustrated by Yihyoung Li.[1] High Republic author Cavan Scott later indicated in a Q&A that Venalskar was created from a design from artist Phil Noto's concept art for the project.[2]

- ↑ Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of The High Republic Phase II to 382 BBY.
- ↑ Star Wars: The High Republic: Chronicles of the Jedi establishes that the in-universe book Chronicles of the Jedi was written weeks after the destruction of Starlight Beacon, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 230 BBY. The issuing of the Guardian Protocols, dated by The High Republic Character Encyclopedia to 229 BBY, are depicted in The High Republic – Shadows of Starlight 1 as taking place one week after Starlight Beacon's destruction. With this, Chronicles of the Jedi must have been authored no earlier than 229 BBY. Chronicles of the Jedi further establishes that Pra-Tre Veter is still a Grand Master of the Jedi Order, meaning it was written before his death, which The High Republic Character Encyclopedia states took place in 229 BBY. Therefore, Chronicles of the Jedi must have been written in 229 BBY.
