After the events of The High Republic: Convergence, the Jedi travel
to Jedha in this full script for the Star Wars audio original The
Battle of Jedha.
Jedha. The worn streets of this ancient world serve as a confluence for
the galaxy. Visited by all, yet owned by none. Here, the Jedi are but
one creed among many worshipping and studying the Force. From the
Guardians of the Whills to the Path of the Open Hand, countless beings
come to learn, and to share, in peace.
As all of Jedha prepares for its Festival of Balance, the galaxy still
reels from the violence on Eiram and E'ronoh. But after foiling a plot
to escalate the war between the two planets, the Jedi believe that a
lasting peace may be within reach. Master Creighton Sun and Jedi Knight
Aida Forte arrive on Jedha with delegations from both planets to
formally end the "Forever War." The Jedi hope that the harmony of
Jedha's many factions, along with the signing of a peace treaty, will
create a symbol to the rest of the galaxy of what can be accomplished
through unity.
But not all are happy with the Jedi's involvement or ready to concern
themselves with peace. Rumors begin to swirl that the Jedi bring war in
their wake. The distrust and anger that for so long fueled the Forever
War now threaten to corrupt the communities of Jedha. When violence
breaks out on the sacred moon, the war that was meant to end on Jedha
may soon engulf the entire world.
