- "With all of my novels so far, I've done something fun as a bonus for people who pre-order - and I'm keeping the tradition going with TRIALS OF THE JEDI!"
- ―Charles Soule
A set of nine promotional postcards was distributed on June 17, 2025, alongside the release of the Random House Worlds novel The High Republic: Trials of the Jedi, written by Charles Soule, as a pre-order bonus. Each postcard contained a new exclusive line of dialogue from one of nine characters—Avar Kriss, Elzar Mann, Marchion Ro, Porter Engle, Azlin Rell, Stellan Gios, Loden Greatstorm, Bell Zettifar, and Reath Silas—along with their character illustration.[1] Postcard illustrations were done by artists Diogo Saito, MinJi Yoon, Jeff Thomas, Adrienne Brown, and Petur Antonsson.

| Image | Character | Illustrator(s) | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|
 
|
Avar Kriss | Diogo Saito | "What do you hear, when you listen to the Force? It sings to us all — we are each a melody within its great, all-encompassing symphony. What do you hear?" |
 
|
Elzar Mann | Diogo Saito | "I choose to explore. The Force is an endless sea. The secrets hidden in its depths exceed anything we can imagine. Try things. Experiment. What's the worst that can happen?" |
 
|
Marchion Ro | Diogo Saito | "What is the Force? An obstacle. Just a thing in my way. Something to be destroyed. I am the only one who can do it. And so I will." |
| Porter Engle | MinJi Yoon and Jeff Thomas | "The Force is a blade. Do you think it cannot cut you? It has two edges. Both are sharper than anything you've ever touched. The trick is in the wielding. Use the wrong side, and the injury done might only be to yourself." | |
 
|
Azlin Rell | Diogo Saito | "I reject your dogma. I see the Force as clearly as any other Jedi. To me, it is darkness, the deepest part of night. But that does not mean I am evil, or lost. Not only by the light might people be saved. The dark can be a savior too." |
 
|
Stellan Gios | Diogo Saito, Adrienne Brown, and Jeff Thomas | "Look up. Look outward. The great sweep of the night sky — the light of so many bright stars touching you all at once, though the time and distance journeyed varies greatly. That is the Force, and the wisdom of the Jedi Order passed down through the generations. Our forebears found the good ways, the true ways — we must honor them." |
 
|
Loden Greatstorm | Petur Antonsson | "Listen for the wind. That is the Force. A gentle, calming breeze, or a tearing gale. We can resist it, or use it to speed us on our way. We each choose our own path. The Force acts upon us, but the choice is always ours." |
 
|
Bell Zettifar | Diogo Saito | "The flame of the Force burns so bright that sometimes it blocks out all I see. It sweeps me up and then I'm burning too, bringing light everywhere I go. The fire can destroy — it could even destroy me. But that, I will not allow. I am a Jedi." |
 
|
Reath Silas | Diogo Saito | "I hear peace. I hear silence. I hear the great mystery calling to me from the endless library of the Force. A story for everyone and everything. Far too many to be read in any person's lifetime…but imagine what you could learn if you tried. That library is within me—and I never want to leave." |
