I would honestly love to see a tv series based off of the Old Republic. I’d love to see a series that finally makes Revan and his story canon. He’s been nearly canonized multiple times, but each time only fell short of him actually being added into the canon Disney Star Wars universe.
ngl: I would pay good money to see a movie trilogy set in this era... and I ain't even that much of a fan of the movies (the newer ones that is. The original ones are just part of my childhood!)

People keep saying they wish there were more stories that have nothing to do with the Skywalker saga, conveniently ignoring just how many stories there have been set outside that era, albeit in books and comics and the Legends EU. But finally, now we're getting a TV series and a movie (trilogy?) set in those far distant times. It's something that had to be introduced in careful steps (start with the familiar, test the waters, then introduce new elements that can be expanded upon), all they had to do was be patient.

it might seemike this, but the thounsands of years before the high republic have their own eras that can be seen but those are to hadd to explain. Because there are the different sith wars and the different jedi schism as well as the Rakarta era could be defined as one little era. Even the diffrent sith Lords and Brotherhoods that ruled could be defined as an era in the old republic, and so on and so on. The Definitions can be done in far smaller intervals in Legends that it is done in Canon
I would agree with @tony8051. We've had so many medias on those last 50 years that it was easy, or easier, to divide in 6 different eras. Maybe if we had more info on the first 3 we would have more than 9 eras.
My head canon is that when Milky Way humans started colonizing the FFA Galaxy and began to chronolog the history of the Galaxy you have these areas that are extremely fragmented so they get lumped into things like wastebasket eras like "old republic" and that "recently" an entire upheaval of how things were put on the timeline happened and so there's this scramble to fix the actual timeline which is why we now have legends and canon cause we took everything we found at face value and now we're left with a mess of timeline trying to fit the pieces together.

Love to see all these era's laid out. Wouldn't be surprised if we got some new ones or existing ones demarcated some more. The window between the Dawn of the Jedi and the Old Republic might need some. Also, hell yeah, SWTOR!
Im happy they finally officially outlined the timeline eras. Feels like something they shoulda done earlier, but better late than never. The Old Republic also being added is also a good move considering how many wrongfully and stupidly thought The High Republic replaced it.
Pretty sure the Old Republic era existed in canon before then too. Dumbasses just ignored it even after all the messaging about the High Republic being it's own thing.
But what about the Time before the Jedi? That big walker thing in Bad Batch is suggested to be even older than the Jedi. And then there's the Time Before Time when the Great Spirit Mata Nui descended from the heavens carrying the Matoran to Aqua Magna, and instilling in them the Three Virtues of Unity, Duty, and Destiny. But that's a story for another time...
He unfortunately skip this part. In Short. After Rakatans learn how to use of force from Kwa (Dathomir). They start conquest of the galaxy. And they in fact did conquer the galaxy establishing Infinite Empire. They enslaved all known civilizations resulting with they loosing own past. Rakatans, who were only civilization having FTL warships. Fall after they were infected by mysterious virus what cut entire specie from The Force. As result cut pockets of they forces were overthrown and remains evacuated to they homeworld, where they stuck indefinitely. After this great reset, Republic attempted to reunify the world. Jedi were only ones who could use Rakatan ships, until Republic find a way to go around this issue and mass produced hyperdrive.
It is interesting to note that in The Phantom Menace it is mentioned that the sith were defeated a millennium prior(so 1,000 years) and that the Republic had stood for that long as well.
I'm looking forward to seeing the High Republic expand to the live action side of Star Wars and eagerly waiting for us to get into the Old Republic era in Canon. I don't think the MMO has had any bearing on them not doing Canon stories in that era because the game has gotten a lot of content based on the recent shows on Disney+, more likely they just want to wait until they have an idea what their version of the era looks like before going all in, which I wish they would just do. I'm apprehensive about the Dawn of the Jedi movie. I think James Mangold is a great fit for Star Wars, I enjoyed Dial of Destiny but I'm worried putting such a concrete story on the discovery of the Force and the founding of the Jedi like a film would risks taking away the mysticism of the Jedi and the Force which is something I love and don't want to lose but I'm open to being surprised when the film finally is released. Same goes for the New Jedi Order, I'm really looking forward to that. The idea of the antagonistic party doesn't quite land for me, I hope it is something larger and a part of me will always be sad that Luke's Jedi Order failed badly, that feels like it really undercuts him but I am excited to see Rey's take when the film arrives. I also wouldn't call the aldahni heist a "defining event" of the Rebellion era. I refuse to believe that people were more inspired by a backwater heist on a generic planet that could have been done by gangsters for Hutts as far as anyone knew, than a motivational speech heard across the galaxy from Lothal in Rebels. A heist does nothing but prove the Empire could be *robbed*, just because it can be robbed doesn't mean it can be defeated. I refuse to believe that the seeds of Rebellion were sown by something that did NOTHING for the populations crushed under Imperial rule.

In the series Andor the main character makes it a point to describe how easy the empire is to rob and hide from, the empire is founded by underhanded tactics and working with dirty double crossers. I agree that the rally for the rebels was a little poorly written
A thought (or maybe a question for the next Q&A) - do they have a problem with "evolution of tech", in that there's quite a big difference between High Republic and OT-time in terms of how advanced and spread the Republic is? There's relatively little time in which a lot happens, and yet we get settings thousands of years earlier in which people (I'm guessing) use lightsabers and travel between the stars. It is what never really got me into the High Republic (though I'm going to give it another chance)... it felt very different (too different) despite timewise it really shouldn't, would've understood it better if it was Old Republic and things where that different.
They are trying to make the older eras look more ancient, from what I've heard. A big reason why Legends felt static was that KOTOR was intentionally designed to resemble the Star Wars galaxy from the movies rather than the Tales of the Jedi comics that initially started the era (very sandals-and-toga-esque, with empresses and metal blades etc.) because they were worried no one would recognize it otherwise.
@@chaosfire321 Thanks for the answer! But my "concern" about them overdoing it still stands, or will they move Dawn of the Jedi and Old Republic closer in time - as it would feel kind of weird to have Star Wars go basically "But no space travel, that's a few thousand years away"
Im super excited about the dawn of the jedi and the old republic. Seeing certain episodes of the clone wars and a specific episode in the bad batch that had things dating to the old republic and even before the republic was a thing was so cool. I'm a history and lore nerd when it comes to universes like this.
I do hope that the prime Jedi is a metaphorical figure. I still like to believe that since Tython was shown off in an episode of the Madalorian, Tython was the birth place of the Jeh’Di order which eventually become the Jedi order after the Jedi and Sith split. Eventually the Jedi settled on the Island of Oc’Tou and the Sith on Korriban which would later be renamed Moriban as we see in season 6 of TCW 2008 series. That’s my head canon for now.
I assume that Dawn of the Jedi takes place after the fall of the Rakatan Empire. There may be a few Rakatan force users around but they would be extremely rare.
I have a question will you ever do a revamped version of the legends timeline I know it’s irrelevant now but the original video is a few years old and it’d be very nice to see an updated video with more in-depth retellings of events in he legends timeline
I would honestly love to see a series about the Old Republic be made. Disney is sitting on a gold mine when it comes to stuff like Darth Revan. He’s an all time favorite among diehard fans. I’d love to see his story become canonized, from his rise as a Jedi to his fall to the dark side and rebirth to his redemption and eventual defeat of Darth Vitiate. It would make a great story, but Disney seems to hate the Old Republic for some reason.
Would be interesting to see the sequel-sequel involve the Yuuzhan Vongs, though High Republic is an obvious candidate for further exploration, and the dawn of the Jedi.
For me personally, this is not enough eras for over 25,000 years of galactic spanning history. I have come up with a custom timeline that fixes this problem and combines elements from both canon and legends.
I think they should simplify the names of the eras so i have come up with new names: Inconceivably long time before Tallie Super long time before Tallie Very long time before Tallie Long time before Tallie Short time before Tallie Time immediately before Tallie Time with Tallie And shes definitely 100% still alive so theres no need for another era name yet 😌
There should be a pre-jedi era where space travel is limited to the local system and force users are present but are not united in the Jedi order and it doesn't exist yet.
quick reminder too that this is disney's canon the legend books have been retconned but were canon before disney bought starwars and are still canon for those of us who like good story writing, disney has killed SW in my eyes and i just wish it would be buried now laid to rest, but the books are amazing i highly recommend (legends) maybe start at the Thrawn trilogy (it was also re written for disney read the older ones) if you want to see more Luke Han and Leia and the gang back in their prime!
I my opinion, looking at the timeline on a macro scale, everything from Fall of the Jedi to Rise of the First Order could be one era, marked by the re-emergence of the Sith and the struggles that occur because of it.
I think re-writing the Vong to come in at a later era, during this new Rey era, could make a lot more sense to viewers. The sequels are just now starting to make sense to everybody but then surprising them by saying there was an entire other war going on in the background would be ridiculous. There's zero evidence during the sequels or Mando or Ahsoka that any Vong conflict was happening. Plus, forcing Rey's new order to fight without using the force could be an opportunity.
Another great video, Damons! 👍👍🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 This channel has been my main go to for info on SW that I'm not caught up yet in Canon. Thank you for all that you do, Alex and Mollie! ☺️ And great of Disney and Lucasfilm to finally accept and use the B.B.Y. and A.B.Y. timeline designations.
I would LOVE to see the new Jedi Order film! Really, it would be very disappointing not to see anything MOVEING FORWARD! We've had enough material in the same period of time as main films. Time to move forward!
I kinda wish the KoTOR and SWTOR-Stories would be included in the current canon, iirc they don't really contradict anything important and it would make things easier
I think that’s a big reason there hasn’t been new content in that era, it easily slots into the new continuity. My guess was they were waiting for the KOTOR remake but that’s been in development hell
Ehh, it really doesn't slot in that well now, especially with canon divergences like kyber crystals and bleeding. Plus, I've heard Lucasfilm wants to make the era more ancient looking rather than the "few years before the movies" look KOTOR and SWTOR went with.
@@chaosfire321 I don't really care if they canonize the look, but the stories itself feel like they could fit in pretty good. The differences in Kyber Crystals etc don't really feel like a bit hindrance tbh
The Thrawn novels also hinted about a threat from another galaxy. I know they kind of eluded that it was the Grysk, but they also left it open that it could be something worse, aka the Vong.I wasn't the biggest fan of the books, but it would be interesting to have a new kind of villain, and not just another dark jedi or empire.
1977-2014 will always be the best and truest time for Star Wars. So much of the comics and novels and therefore the stories they used to expand things before during and especially after Return of the Jedi we pivotal for keeping the franchise fresh and so interesting. And much of all that stuff had the seal of approval from George Lucas himself! All the tales of adventure, family growing, and WAR itself across the galaxy were so momentous. It all culminated into the comics of the early 2010s with Luke's descendant, I think his name was Cade Skywalker, well over 100 years later. We also saw descendants of Leia & Hans, and some others. LONG LIVE OG STAR WARS! ^
I'm gonna make a fan timeline where the venator class star destroyer destroys Tipoca City, resulting the timeline broken and all the timelines are messed up.
Feeling glad to born in this time period to evidence such masterpiece that mankind ever created. Great effort & presentation by Star Wars explained and Thanks for everything George Lucas.
I asked this on threads, but in case you dont see it I will ask it here as well. If Yoda was born between the end of the old republic, and the start of the high republic, what do you think he saw growing up. Given he would be ~500 at the start of the High republic he is essentially middle aged and should have been part of something
The Legends continuity had eras, too.... 1. Pre-Republic Era: 13,000,000,000 BBY-25,053 BBY 2. Old Republic Era: 25,053 BBY-1,000 BBY 3. Rise of the Empire Era: 1,000 BBY-0 BBY 4. Rebellion Era: 0 ABY-5 ABY 5. New Republic Era: 5 ABY-25 ABY 6. New Jedi Order Era: 25 ABY-37 ABY 7. Legacy Era: 37 ABY onwards
i really don't want them to do something bad with the old republic. one, they could make so much money off an accurate and canon old republic. the story of Revan could by itself be split into three movies. if they create something around that time and don't make it consistent to whats already there, i think a lot of star wars fan will just stop watching any new things by disney.

Not something good though, because TCW had already messed up the timeline.

This is a great Fully Explained of Star Wars Eras. Thank you.
I love these star wars timeline videos they are so cool you guys do a great job May the Force be with you
Im happy they finally officially outlined the timeline eras. Feels like something they shoulda done earlier, but better late than never.
The Old Republic also being added is also a good move considering how many wrongfully and stupidly thought The High Republic replaced it.
Pretty sure the Old Republic era existed in canon before then too. Dumbasses just ignored it even after all the messaging about the High Republic being it's own thing.
But what about the Time before the Jedi? That big walker thing in Bad Batch is suggested to be even older than the Jedi.
And then there's the Time Before Time when the Great Spirit Mata Nui descended from the heavens carrying the Matoran to Aqua Magna, and instilling in them the Three Virtues of Unity, Duty, and Destiny. But that's a story for another time...
The walker is made by Zeffo or Rakatan. Either way, they are two opposite forces.
He unfortunately skip this part. In Short. After Rakatans learn how to use of force from Kwa (Dathomir). They start conquest of the galaxy. And they in fact did conquer the galaxy establishing Infinite Empire. They enslaved all known civilizations resulting with they loosing own past. Rakatans, who were only civilization having FTL warships. Fall after they were infected by mysterious virus what cut entire specie from The Force. As result cut pockets of they forces were overthrown and remains evacuated to they homeworld, where they stuck indefinitely. After this great reset, Republic attempted to reunify the world. Jedi were only ones who could use Rakatan ships, until Republic find a way to go around this issue and mass produced hyperdrive.
bruh are u referencing bionicle?
The Star Wars Eras Tour - I'm up for it
A nice timeline. An Old Republic movie exploring the Hundred Year Darkness would be awesome.
SWTOR and KOTOR are both amazing stories and shape some of my best memories of starwars
It is interesting to note that in The Phantom Menace it is mentioned that the sith were defeated a millennium prior(so 1,000 years) and that the Republic had stood for that long as well.
I'm looking forward to seeing the High Republic expand to the live action side of Star Wars and eagerly waiting for us to get into the Old Republic era in Canon. I don't think the MMO has had any bearing on them not doing Canon stories in that era because the game has gotten a lot of content based on the recent shows on Disney+, more likely they just want to wait until they have an idea what their version of the era looks like before going all in, which I wish they would just do. I'm apprehensive about the Dawn of the Jedi movie. I think James Mangold is a great fit for Star Wars, I enjoyed Dial of Destiny but I'm worried putting such a concrete story on the discovery of the Force and the founding of the Jedi like a film would risks taking away the mysticism of the Jedi and the Force which is something I love and don't want to lose but I'm open to being surprised when the film finally is released. Same goes for the New Jedi Order, I'm really looking forward to that. The idea of the antagonistic party doesn't quite land for me, I hope it is something larger and a part of me will always be sad that Luke's Jedi Order failed badly, that feels like it really undercuts him but I am excited to see Rey's take when the film arrives.
I also wouldn't call the aldahni heist a "defining event" of the Rebellion era. I refuse to believe that people were more inspired by a backwater heist on a generic planet that could have been done by gangsters for Hutts as far as anyone knew, than a motivational speech heard across the galaxy from Lothal in Rebels. A heist does nothing but prove the Empire could be *robbed*, just because it can be robbed doesn't mean it can be defeated. I refuse to believe that the seeds of Rebellion were sown by something that did NOTHING for the populations crushed under Imperial rule.
As long as Disney does Star Wars it will suck.
Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future..
In the series Andor the main character makes it a point to describe how easy the empire is to rob and hide from, the empire is founded by underhanded tactics and working with dirty double crossers. I agree that the rally for the rebels was a little poorly written
This is one of your best videos so far this year. You guys have really upped your game for 2024. I look forward to the rest!
The old expanded universe may not be canon anymore but it’s still a joy to go back and read some of it.
A thought (or maybe a question for the next Q&A) - do they have a problem with "evolution of tech", in that there's quite a big difference between High Republic and OT-time in terms of how advanced and spread the Republic is? There's relatively little time in which a lot happens, and yet we get settings thousands of years earlier in which people (I'm guessing) use lightsabers and travel between the stars. It is what never really got me into the High Republic (though I'm going to give it another chance)... it felt very different (too different) despite timewise it really shouldn't, would've understood it better if it was Old Republic and things where that different.
I wouldn't say there's a big difference but they've been avoiding in going into the details to keep the mystery of the Nihil going.
They are trying to make the older eras look more ancient, from what I've heard. A big reason why Legends felt static was that KOTOR was intentionally designed to resemble the Star Wars galaxy from the movies rather than the Tales of the Jedi comics that initially started the era (very sandals-and-toga-esque, with empresses and metal blades etc.) because they were worried no one would recognize it otherwise.
@@chaosfire321 Thanks for the answer! But my "concern" about them overdoing it still stands, or will they move Dawn of the Jedi and Old Republic closer in time - as it would feel kind of weird to have Star Wars go basically "But no space travel, that's a few thousand years away"
12:03 “ somehow palpatine returned, again”
Im super excited about the dawn of the jedi and the old republic. Seeing certain episodes of the clone wars and a specific episode in the bad batch that had things dating to the old republic and even before the republic was a thing was so cool. I'm a history and lore nerd when it comes to universes like this.
I do hope that the prime Jedi is a metaphorical figure. I still like to believe that since Tython was shown off in an episode of the Madalorian, Tython was the birth place of the Jeh’Di order which eventually become the Jedi order after the Jedi and Sith split. Eventually the Jedi settled on the Island of Oc’Tou and the Sith on Korriban which would later be renamed Moriban as we see in season 6 of TCW 2008 series. That’s my head canon for now.
a little hint, "old republic logo" was on jedis masters during the clone wars series which is a neat touch
Are they not teaching this is schools?
I assume that Dawn of the Jedi takes place after the fall of the Rakatan Empire. There may be a few Rakatan force users around but they would be extremely rare.
I have a question will you ever do a revamped version of the legends timeline I know it’s irrelevant now but the original video is a few years old and it’d be very nice to see an updated video with more in-depth retellings of events in he legends timeline
I feel like Jedi Survivor should be one of the defining stories of High Republic, the main bad guy is literally a Fallen jedi from that era
I really hope we get the Yuzzhan Vong/Grysk war at some point.
JUST READ THE BOOKS!
The Seaquel trilagy was apparently removed from cannon by the mandalorian which was a what would happend if the empire took grogu
I'm glad killing Chewie off isn't canon!! They can't do that 😭😭
Better than palps coming back
I can see Disney breaking up the Old Republic into smaller eras when it's finally integrated into the canon
I just hope The Acolyte is a good show like the Clone Wars and give a canon view of the high republic
Great video,Alex. Super helpful when you need to get things sorted in your head and know how everything fits together 👍Love these sorts of videos
I would honestly love to see a series about the Old Republic be made. Disney is sitting on a gold mine when it comes to stuff like Darth Revan. He’s an all time favorite among diehard fans. I’d love to see his story become canonized, from his rise as a Jedi to his fall to the dark side and rebirth to his redemption and eventual defeat of Darth Vitiate. It would make a great story, but Disney seems to hate the Old Republic for some reason.
Fantastic summary!!!
Lol, pushing the Acolyte 😂
Would be interesting to see the sequel-sequel involve the Yuuzhan Vongs, though High Republic is an obvious candidate for further exploration, and the dawn of the Jedi.
9:02 Gus just doesn't know when to quit. My favorite methamphe- I mean governor by far
Seeing video titles like this gets me so exited. I love content like this and clicked right away
So much lore to cover.
theres a lot of information on the high republic in jedi: survivor
Nicely done on this, visuals are amazing!
For me personally, this is not enough eras for over 25,000 years of galactic spanning history. I have come up with a custom timeline that fixes this problem and combines elements from both canon and legends.
Good for you
@@TheRealSkreegle Do you feel the same way as well?
@@souptime821 :3
You can't combine elements from canon and legends. Legends is completely connected in itself and perfectly fine that way.
Great Video! This really helped me understand the Star Wars Timeline better!
The movie im most excited for is the one about the dawn of the Jedi
Im so pumped for the Dawn of the Jedi film. Those Gray robed dudes look badass (Ordu Aspectu)
very excited to visit the old/high republic era going forwards
You should’ve mentioned tanalorr when talking about the high republic
I think they should simplify the names of the eras so i have come up with new names:
Inconceivably long time before Tallie
Super long time before Tallie
Very long time before Tallie
Long time before Tallie
Short time before Tallie
Time immediately before Tallie
Time with Tallie
And shes definitely 100% still alive so theres no need for another era name yet 😌
There should be a sort of Star Wars chronicles that tells stories in the outer rim systems. There should be more material for EU
There should be a pre-jedi era where space travel is limited to the local system and force users are present but are not united in the Jedi order and it doesn't exist yet.
quick reminder too that this is disney's canon the legend books have been retconned but were canon before disney bought starwars and are still canon for those of us who like good story writing, disney has killed SW in my eyes and i just wish it would be buried now laid to rest, but the books are amazing i highly recommend (legends) maybe start at the Thrawn trilogy (it was also re written for disney read the older ones) if you want to see more Luke Han and Leia and the gang back in their prime!
Great video, dude. 👌🏾
I my opinion, looking at the timeline on a macro scale, everything from Fall of the Jedi to Rise of the First Order could be one era, marked by the re-emergence of the Sith and the struggles that occur because of it.
I think re-writing the Vong to come in at a later era, during this new Rey era, could make a lot more sense to viewers. The sequels are just now starting to make sense to everybody but then surprising them by saying there was an entire other war going on in the background would be ridiculous. There's zero evidence during the sequels or Mando or Ahsoka that any Vong conflict was happening. Plus, forcing Rey's new order to fight without using the force could be an opportunity.
New Jedi Order, it feels like the Old Republic all over again
I think they should record some extra scenes and change the sequels to make it slightly better, but they’ll never do this
For who don't know
Bby means before baby Yoda,
But It could be used as before battle of yavin I guess
Great summary and timeline! I like how succinct SW can be
I think it’s smart to have Eras so LucasFilm can tell stories across various formats in a specific era.
I agree
personly i love to see more star wars set between episode 6 and 7 and before episode 1
Another great video, Damons! 👍👍🤘🤘👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This channel has been my main go to for info on SW that I'm not caught up yet in Canon. Thank you for all that you do, Alex and Mollie! ☺️
And great of Disney and Lucasfilm to finally accept and use the B.B.Y. and A.B.Y. timeline designations.
I love this content. It’s also like a little sample hit of the full canon timeline and I love that. Honorable mention to the switftie bit 😂
I’m looking forward to The Acolyte as something wholly new for Star Wars.
Good video, almosts foreplay for the 4th of May...
12:44 "Anakin Solo" *Ben solo has left the chat*
I would LOVE to see the new Jedi Order film! Really, it would be very disappointing not to see anything MOVEING FORWARD! We've had enough material in the same period of time as main films. Time to move forward!
I love this style of video please keep it up Alex
Thank you, Alex! ⏳
I kinda wish the KoTOR and SWTOR-Stories would be included in the current canon, iirc they don't really contradict anything important and it would make things easier
I think that’s a big reason there hasn’t been new content in that era, it easily slots into the new continuity. My guess was they were waiting for the KOTOR remake but that’s been in development hell
Ehh, it really doesn't slot in that well now, especially with canon divergences like kyber crystals and bleeding. Plus, I've heard Lucasfilm wants to make the era more ancient looking rather than the "few years before the movies" look KOTOR and SWTOR went with.
@@chaosfire321 I don't really care if they canonize the look, but the stories itself feel like they could fit in pretty good. The differences in Kyber Crystals etc don't really feel like a bit hindrance tbh
The Thrawn novels also hinted about a threat from another galaxy. I know they kind of eluded that it was the Grysk, but they also left it open that it could be something worse, aka the Vong.I wasn't the biggest fan of the books, but it would be interesting to have a new kind of villain, and not just another dark jedi or empire.
There was no hints of vong. There no mention of another galaxy in those books.
1977-2014 will always be the best and truest time for Star Wars. So much of the comics and novels and therefore the stories they used to expand things before during and especially after Return of the Jedi we pivotal for keeping the franchise fresh and so interesting. And much of all that stuff had the seal of approval from George Lucas himself! All the tales of adventure, family growing, and WAR itself across the galaxy were so momentous. It all culminated into the comics of the early 2010s with Luke's descendant, I think his name was Cade Skywalker, well over 100 years later. We also saw descendants of Leia & Hans, and some others. LONG LIVE OG STAR WARS! ^
Im one of the few here who actually needs the non-cinematic eras explained
I'm gonna make a fan timeline where the venator class star destroyer destroys Tipoca City, resulting the timeline broken and all the timelines are messed up.
Feeling glad to born in this time period to evidence such masterpiece that mankind ever created. Great effort & presentation by Star Wars explained and Thanks for everything George Lucas.
Old Republic will hit different when we get those stories
Awesome video.
R2D2 and C3PO will probably still appear in these new Films 😂
dont give disney your money just go read the Legends books their amazing
I was planning on starting with Darth Plagueis
Disappointed we didn't get a trailer for The Acolyte last night. At least we got the Deadpool and Planet of the Apes one.
In which era does the new Star Wars Outlaws game take place?
The Age of Rebellion (takes place between The Empire Strikes Back & Return of the Jedi)
@@lyinginertia thank you very much :)
Wow, Taytay's here
I asked this on threads, but in case you dont see it I will ask it here as well. If Yoda was born between the end of the old republic, and the start of the high republic, what do you think he saw growing up. Given he would be ~500 at the start of the High republic he is essentially middle aged and should have been part of something
i might be wrong, but at the time of the prequels yoda was around 800 years old so he would be never live in the old republic period
I think the Grysk is taking the place of Yuzong vong in Canon
Quite unfortunate how much of a let down the accolyte was.
@@Rebel_Scum1138if you were thinking you wouldn’t have thought that
The Legends continuity had eras, too....
1. Pre-Republic Era: 13,000,000,000 BBY-25,053 BBY
2. Old Republic Era: 25,053 BBY-1,000 BBY
3. Rise of the Empire Era: 1,000 BBY-0 BBY
4. Rebellion Era: 0 ABY-5 ABY
5. New Republic Era: 5 ABY-25 ABY
6. New Jedi Order Era: 25 ABY-37 ABY
7. Legacy Era: 37 ABY onwards
Too bad anything after the deaths of palpatine and Vader is non cannon.
Just to clarify... Humans and mandalorians are both from coruscant.
Humans won a war and kicked them out.
i really don't want them to do something bad with the old republic. one, they could make so much money off an accurate and canon old republic. the story of Revan could by itself be split into three movies. if they create something around that time and don't make it consistent to whats already there, i think a lot of star wars fan will just stop watching any new things by disney.
A new era: PRESENT DAY
2060: Modern spacecraft begin to take shape. Missions to mars, Venus, and more are launched out.
2070: Tacoma airbase is built near Germany.
2075: The first spaceships pass Jupiter.
2080: The first sight of Neptune up close by a ship is recorded.
2090: Warp and wormhole travel is discovered.
2100: The greatest rise humanity has ever seen. Over 100,000 star systems have been inhabited by spaceships.
2110: The black hole in the centre of our galaxy becomes a power plant.
2150: The black hole in the centre of our galaxy has a meltdown.
2150: A spaceship manages to womehole its way 67 billion light years away.
2150: A star explodes, causing the ship to explode near a habitable planet, which starts the next era.
I wonder if broom boy will be trained in the new Jedi order
The high republic should have had defining characters with Yoda
