Apparently the details surrounding this event will be officially revealed on 2/24, during some sort of big SW event/Q&A panel.
It is also unlikely that we'll be seeing any games/TV shows/movies tied-into this event, as it is now being described as a joint publishing effort -- so the story will probably just interconnect through various novels and comics.

I could wait, honestly. After choking on their vanity with the Sequel Trilogy, they should've learn to slow down, and it seems they have.
I really wish I was more excited for new releases. There's the new Vader comic in terms of what's coming recently, and then the new trilogy and Kenobi series on Disney +, though that's pro'lly 2 whole years away.
It's just that Disney's not releasing anything different from what we've seen before. If they did, that would blow my mind just like the old Legends installments did, and then I'd start getting excited. I'm just gonna hope this "Luminous" thing is what I've been looking for. Until then, Star Wars in moderation is the best Star Wars.
-The Jedi of the High Republic are essentially "Jedi Knights of the Round Table". Definitely some strong Arthurian vibes.
-The main villains are called the Nihil, and are described as "space Vikings".
-The High Republic is set 200 years before the prequels, in the "Golden Age" of the Jedi/Republic. "The Jedi as we've always wanted to see them."
-The story begins with some sort of disaster/calamity that pushes the Jedi into action.
-The event will take place across several different novels and comic series', and under several different publishers.

I'm not exactly sure how to feel about a Knights of the Round Table thing for Star Wars. ...But ok I guess that's happening, at least it's something new anyway than bringing back old characters, which is what they should focus on doing moreso.
Anyway, it sounds interesting to be sure. ....Then there's the ST.
....I really can't believe this is what's what now, it's very strange.
Also that holocron is probably the Jedi yeah, if it's all written by the same guy and looking familiar.
So just 200 years before TPM? Where the Republic and Jedi were at their height hm? Well let's just hope it's not all screwed up in the end. Color me curious.
Though now I'm wondering if only 200 years ago before TPM, they were at their height...then what about even before that? Cause the Republic has stood for a millennia according to TPM. Unless they are gonna be changing that too, but wouldn't be the first time I guess.

I like everything that I've heard about this. I like the idea of Arthurian knights. I like that it's set only 200 years before the PT instead of thousands of years before it.
I never liked how most of the Old Republic stories took place 1000s of years before the prequels. What's the point in setting everything that far back when all the technology is all the same.

Well when you reach a certain level of technology, it’s more the internal workings then outward appearance that’s going to change.
Not all technology is going to be the same apart from maybe appearance wise.
You say that, but the technology jumps absolutely massively between TPM and the end of RoS.
