Even though it is, chronologically speaking, kind of in the middle of the official timeline, this is, in many ways, where it all began. This was the struggle at the center of George Lucas' original Star Wars tale that would go on to define the franchise, making it what it is today. But it was only a matter of time before the oppressed people in the galaxy decided to band together and make a stand. For several years, Palpatine's rule went unchecked. It is when the Rebellion emerged and began to challenge the Empire across the galaxy. The Age of Rebellion takes place starting around 5 BBY. This is where we start getting into what one might call "classic" Star Wars territory. So this is when Cal Kestis' journey largely happened. It is also worth noting that the video game Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order takes place in this period as well. Several comics fall into this timeline as well, such as Kanan, Han Solo - Imperial Cadet and Lando: Double or Nothing. Several key novels take place in this era though, such as Catalyst, which is a prelude of sorts to Rogue One, Lords of the Sith, Tarkin and Thrawn.
#Star wars the old republic timelines series
Whereas the Jedi were peacekeepers in the galaxy for a thousand generations, the Empire had its stranglehold on the galaxy, firmly, for less than 20 years.Īs far as on-screen content goes, this only encompasses Solo: A Star Wars Story and the animated series The Bad Batch, which takes place in the aftermath of The Clone Wars. So this is a little less than two decades when the Empire was at the absolute height of its powers. This takes place approximately from 19 by right up to the formation of the Rebellion, several years before A New Hope.
While this era was once looked at in a negative light, thanks to the initial reception of the prequel trilogy, it has become fertile ground for Star Wars storytelling.įor an era, Reign of the Empire is somewhat brief, per Disney and Lucasfilm's official description of it. For those looking to dive deeper, this era also includes novels such as Dark Disciple and comics like the Darth Maul series and Obi-Wan and Anakin. So this is far removed from The High Republic era, meaning that there is, at the very least, a hundred year gap between The High Republic and the Fall of the Jedi. For context, The Phantom Menace takes place around 32 BBY. It contains George Lucas' second trilogy of Star Wars movies, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, which chronicle Anakin Skywallker's journey from a young boy on Tatooine to becoming Darth Vader.Īside from the prequel trilogy, this era contains the entirety of The Clone Wars animated series. This is the time when Palpatine was beginning to rise to power and the Jedi were on the verge of falling apart. Lucasfilm is putting a lot of eggs in this basket so expect to hear a lot about The High Republic in the years to come.įall of the Jedi is the era formerly known as the prequels. The event is broken down into three phases Phase I: Light of the Jedi, Phase II: Quest of the Jedi and Phase III: Trials of the Jedi. Other novels coming down the pipeline include A Test of Courage, The Great Jedi Rescue and Into the Dark. There is also a Marvel Comics series, as well as one from IDW. The first wave of titles includes Light of the Jedi by author Charles Soule, which kicks off the event.
Our knowledge of this era will expand over the next couple of years as more of the content arrives. Aside from the books and comics on the way, the Disney+ series The Acolyte, which is being developed by Leslye Headland, will take place at the end of The High Republic era.
Prior to The High Republic publishing event, which will span multiple titles and multiple mediums over the course of several years, little had been explored in this era. This is the point when the Jedi were at the height of their power as the final word in law and order among the galaxy. That puts it roughly 230 BBY, give or take. Lucasfilm's latest, major project takes place approximately 200 years before the events of the prequels. For now, this is the furthest point back in the official Star Wars timeline.
