I mean after the first time its kinda just taking things taken from the last time and adding new stuff from the paste year, which is what like 3 shows, and some books and comics
Always feels like with each passing year it gets more and more challenging to add and make a new one. Just look at all the new stuff we got in mid 2022-mid 2023 alone. The one next year is gonna be a whooper for sure.
Not only is this an amazing feat of hard work and dedication, but also a great video for the star wars fandom. As someone who doesnt have time to read the comics anymore, its great to use this as a quick summary!
My birthday is May 4th and I’m a huge Star Wars fan. It’s become a tradition to watch these and play a Star Wars game each year. Keep up the good work!
I just like listening to this every once in a while, when new cannon is produced. I sometimes fall asleep to this. This had to have been a nightmare to produce. Thanks guys I really appreciate everything you do for us nerds.
Don't think I'll be able to watch until I finish Jedi: Survior, Battle Scars, The Battle of Jedha, Cataclysm and Path of Vengeance just in case of "spoilers" but I can't wait man, thanks for everything and MTFBWY!
Thank you guys for taking the time to update this each year. It's such a help when I don't have time to get every single story that rolls out. Especially with the release schedule of the High Republic. Y'all are awesome!
Thanks!! Lots of effort clearly goes into these. I wonder if anyone is getting the impression that parts of the timeline are being pushed back further in time, for example, the Jedi-Sith split taking place closer to 25,000 BBY rather than 5,000 BBY.
Thank you so much for putting these videos together each year. I used to be extremely active with following Star Wars content on YT, but ever since the online SW community/discourse devolved into a toxic hellscape in the wake of The Last Jedi, I haven't been able to muster the emotional energy to keep up with the community (or even the lore) since. These annual vids have become my main method of checking in on what's going on each year. It reminds me that somewhere deep within me, I do still care about this stuff.
14:50 Thanks for mentioning ma boi Uttersond here. He truly is one of my favourite Star Wars-characters and I'm so happy to know, that he was a part of the key-elements of the galactic history.
Awesome video, I look forward to it every year. I know you mention at the end that "Some of what you say is out of order?" but I just wanted to bring up that you say Dooku kidnapps Kix before the Bad Batch arc of The Clone Wars, where he makes an appearance.
This video is seriously one of the highlights of my year. I look forward to it every year on may 4th and I loved every second of it! Star Wars Explained, you are awesome and keep up the absolutely amazing work! May the Force be with you!!
I love these timeline videos so much. I’d super love era by era ones, but i know they’re such an immense amount of work so I won’t get greedy. These are some of my go to background/soothing/sleepy time content, so good.
I just really got into Star Wars and this timeline is a massive help in navigating everything in broad detail. Thank you so much for going through all the effort!
Just came across this for the first time and WOW thank you so much for putting this timeline together! This is gold to any fan who doesn’t have the time to read every single book or comic but wants to know the broad strokes. Wonderful job!! Keep doing what you’re doing! ❤
Every year I watch your timeline updates on my birthday cause it always puts me in a good mood. Thank you for that 1.5 hour birthday gift and may the 4th be with you
Just wanted to point out 2:48 in canon, the planet Moraband was known as Korriban when the Sith first colonized it. It was renamed to Moraband later in the timeline albeit at an unknown date. Because the only canon source that mentions the Legends name is a TTRPG guide it's not a super important detail, but I think it's worth mentioning that canon settled the Korriban vs Moraband argument.
Alex, I'm so amazed! I look forward to these every May 4th and you never disappoint. Seeing everything together in one presentation makes the entire canon feel even more cohesive and rich. You and Mollie do amazing work year-round and I love that I get to watch all of it. Bravo! You deserve to be proud of all of this. Keep up the great work and I'll love watching every bit of it. MTFBWY.
May the 4th be with you, and thank you as always for your continued hard work explaining Star Wars canon to the masses. As someone who tried to indulge on all the new canon and quickly got overwhelmed, this video was extremely helpful. Especially regarding the high republic era, an era of storytelling I have yet to truly explore outside of random Wookiepedia pages. You and Molly are both so wizard!
Great job and much appreciated! And to be honest, I enjoy this video resource more than the Timelines book. You provide much more detail (Dathan being a Palpatine clone for instance) than the book provides. The Star Wars community is lucky to have someone like you to do this stuff. Keep up the GREAT work!
FANTASTIC WORK, ALEX!! CONGRATULATIONS, THANK YOU AND MAY THE FORCE AND YOUR ANNUAL CANON TIMELINES ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN ORDER FOR US STAR WARS FANS DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THE LONGVIEW TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET IT. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH EVERYONE!!! ALEX DAMON ESPECIALLY!!!!!!!
These annual timelines are always fantastic! I'm always looking forward to it and get an concise update on what I've been missing the past year. It's amazing how strong the numerous stories in the SW universe connect and how they ultimately tell a large story and have become a true modern body of myths. And this timeline is the best of its kind: great flow, covers everything important but not bogged down.
If you can, add Yoda’s force journey from Season 6 - I think it adds a lot to the lore and it’s a great thematic companion to Yoda’s mountain rock arc in the comics
Thank you for all your effort and passion you always put into these videos. I'm looking forward every year for the new version. And I'm not mad that it gets longer and longer every year 😂 Your channel is such a big part of my STAR WARS fandom and the complete timeline videos are always the icing on the cake. 🎂 Exactly my flavour 😉 Thank you!
Every May 4th I look forward to these. I try my best to keep up with all the new stuff coming out but life happens. so even if the video has spoilers I still look forward to experiencing the stories (particularly the books). Thanks Alex and Mollie.
I honestly don't get all the hate the new canon gets. Sure, I absolutely get the criticism of the sequels, but not why people hate canon in and of itself so much. I mean, canon gave us the later parts of TCW, Jedi: Fallen Order, the Bad Batch, the Vader comics, interesting lore like the world between worlds, etc.
The new canon is divisive. While there’s a lot of good stuff in the Disney canon. It can’t be understated that the bad in Disney Star Wars definitely to some degree has cast a shadow on the franchise.
The entire Skywalker Saga takes place in a total of over 60 years.......can you imagine how many stories they'll be able to tell now that they've announced their timelines at celebration? This video in a few years may be 4 hours eventually 😂
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks man for the work you put into doing this one! I like how I can go back and use this as a reference to any stories connected to the timeline.
this is awesome. but it would've been cool if the "old republic" line could've been a bit longer so the destruction of "the father son and daughter" would be in the middle, symbolizing that the time it took, up until this point, that many years you have left going forward, like a mirror.
Clicking like and subscribing doesnt compare to all the research and work put into this. I dont have the time to keep up with the comics and side material these days as an adult, so from pretty much everyone in the star wars fandom like myself, I sincerely thank you on all our behalf.
I'm impressed ~ not just that you're able to keep it all organized but that you can explain it for over 90 minutes. My asthma would've done me in an hour ago LOL My only suggestion is moving the explanation of BBY & ABY to the beginning. And that's pretty minor.
I wish I could afford more, because i know how much work goes into putting something together like this. But, THANK YOU, the best (and worst 🤣) part of Star Wars fans is the passion they put into everything Star Wars related…JUST BECAUSE! Thanks, and may the force be with you (or may the force ever serve you?)
Thank you so much for this. It would be awesome if you could publish this with the names of the content in the same order. I know that's unlikely, but still great if you could. It would help us who've been out of reading the extended content for a few years. Also the Marvel app sucks for trying to find anything if you don't know the exact name.
Also a UA-cam channel 'Star Wars Audio Comics' has uploaded more than 100 audiobooks of canon comics issues (with music and sound effects) and are regularly uploading more.
Some important details were left out. The Raccatta invasions and liberations mentioned in Andor. Also how Tatooine was turned from a lush planet into a desert waistband as mentioned like 20 times in the book of Boba Fett
I just rewatched this video again, something I do several times a year although often as more of a background soundtrack while working on a project, or because im trying to verify a specific data set and then I just get sucked into the enjoyment of your very thorough but also perfectly-paced presentation of the Timeline. Today I was somewhat curious to see where the Canon timeline comes down on some of the ancient lore (as it pertains to characters like Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma specifically) partially due to the imminent arrival of the Acolyte.. but also because of the arrival of May 4th. It's just after midnight on the east coast so technically it's Friday May 3rd where I am and I can't remember a year when May 4th meant quite as much to me as it does this year. I'm planning to see Phantom Menace, Tales of the Empire has me completely mesmerized, the Acoylte (in my opinion) holds some truly wonderful possibilities and surprises... I guess although there's always some doom and gloom within the Fandom, I haven't personally felt this excited for the future of Star Wars in many years. Not the way I felt before the prequels came out.. but maybe they way I was feeling after the Mandalorian arrived and once again it seemed like anything was possible! I can't wait to see your Canon update ...I will try to watch it this weekend honestly, or at least during next week. But even more, I can't wait to see what your Canon update holds for 2025. Thanks for all the hard work you put in every day to make star wars accessible and help it reach as wide an audience as possible. It really means a lot! May the Force Be With You
Amazing video. Although I'm deeply distraught at the fact that Disney continues to ignore what sometimes seems to be limitless Legends material to implement into their canon timeline, there's still so much to consume in canon Star Wars.
To those who are wondering, it's important to also note that "canon" means that events are directly, in one way or another, related to the main story in which we know. It does not mean that "non-canon" events do not actually exist within the universe. With Ahsoka possibly exploring (and Rebels already doing so) alternative timelines, and a whole 'nother galaxy, it's extremely possible to see non-canon events/characters become canon.
I just wanna say, thanks a whole lot for this. I'm really digging deep into Star Wars-lore, but very often time and motivation lack to read all of the novels or play all the video-games. It's especially great for The High Republic Phase 2, which I really don't know anything about.
Audio books are your best friend when it comes to this. I don't have much free time but my job requires a lot of driving so I can get through an audiobook in 1-2 weeks
@@angelagwen1818 The only problem I have with audiobooks, is that many of them aren't available in my language, so mostly I have to keep waiting for them.
I like to imagine a "Jeremy Bearimy" style timeline at the top that shows the order of release along with the the narrative timeline. The legends stuff clearly happens in the dot above the i.
Please never stop updating these I watch every single one you up date I need more long form starwars I'm a truck driver and I love putting on these long videos for my drive please keep it up
Did any new information about Star Wars Canon come out this year? Or how about the past few weeks ?? 😂😅🤣😜. Excited for the update. Thanks Star Wars Explained.
Only real Timelines change I noticed was Target Vader being revealed in the book to be in 1 BBY. This video was fantastic. Love your work and proud to be a patron.
I'm really excited for 2025 because we're gonna get the New Jedi Order movie and the First Jedi movie and tons of other stories. 2025 is gonna be a great Star Wars year.
Absolutely phenomenal piece of work Alex, well done! Your commitment to doing this timeline as accurately as possible every year is really admirable, I don't envy you this task but I know you love it so it's all good! 😊 However, watching this timeline has made me realise that the sequels really missed a trick to develop a stronger story and that they basically copied the format of episodes 5 and 6!
This has to be such a pain to work on every year. You guys are a gem to the Fandom. Thanks for all you do. May the 4th be with you!
Nah, with editors it’s snap, cut, copy, pasta.
@@superz316have you been watching the channel? Alex has stated multiple times that this takes up so much of his time
Especially with new content and that will make this longer.
I agree. It should defenetly deserve all the more views than these "Unbribled Rages".
I mean after the first time its kinda just taking things taken from the last time and adding new stuff from the paste year, which is what like 3 shows, and some books and comics
I love how this series is going through a constant evolution!
Hello there!
You are another force user yt channel sir.
I mean... new things are added every year...
Yes
The moment you realize Star Wars does great with the shared universe concept telling stories across all forms of media.
Always feels like with each passing year it gets more and more challenging to add and make a new one. Just look at all the new stuff we got in mid 2022-mid 2023 alone. The one next year is gonna be a whooper for sure.
I was wondering how much longer today would get. Half an hour longer is nothing to sneeze at
Not really eventually there will be more post skywalker stuff.
Nah, just make the video longer, I would watch a yearly updated timeline.
Thankfully the star wars timelines book that just released makes this way easier for him
@@TransamJc barely gonna be able to put the movies in
Not only is this an amazing feat of hard work and dedication, but also a great video for the star wars fandom. As someone who doesnt have time to read the comics anymore, its great to use this as a quick summary!
I love how Star Wars has a long and rich history/timeline and it will be explored more and more as time goes on
A long and rich history before Disney acquisition ...

Just got back from seeing Return of The Jedi in theaters for the anniversary and now I get to watch this incredible video. Perfect May the 4th
Me too! It was great
They rereleased it?
I saw your mom in the theatres lol
Easily my favorite tradition. Breakfast and watching this.
1 hr 37 minutes. It’s basically a short film at this point haha
This has consistently been the best part of May the Fourth for me
May the fourth be with you
I'm a pretty casual SW fan so really thankful for this video! Lots of lore I didn't know I needed.
Thanks! I love your yearly Canon updates and really most all of your content.

I would wait. Path of Vengeance is not included, and I avoided Survivor spoilers, but everything else I included.
Lucasfilm would be nuts not to hire you to be in the SW Story Team. Brilliant work, as always.

That's a little depressing, since it was in the "Journey to Hoth"(I don't know how exactly it was called)-storyline. But we can still have headcanon.
Thanks for the heads up! JUST saw this and got it changed in time for the new one :)
Another great update to Star Wars Canon Timeline. I'm still glad they're continuing to tell stories across all forms of media.
I'm really excited for 2025 because we're gonna get the New Jedi Order movie and the First Jedi movie and tons of other stories. 2025 is gonna be a great Star Wars year.
Thanks for working so hard to make this. You're awesome!
Absolutely phenomenal piece of work Alex, well done! Your commitment to doing this timeline as accurately as possible every year is really admirable, I don't envy you this task but I know you love it so it's all good! 😊 However, watching this timeline has made me realise that the sequels really missed a trick to develop a stronger story and that they basically copied the format of episodes 5 and 6!
This is the best part of Star Wars day
