The story of Star Wars takes place across a very sizable timeline, with sometimes decades-long gaps between films, series, and other stories. For instance, nineteen in-universe years pass in-between

Revenge of the Sith

and

A New Hope

and thirty between

Return of the Jedi

and

he Force Awakens

Lucasfilm is currently gearing up to launch their new publishing initiative:

Star Wars - The High Republic

. A series of interconnected novels and comic books set two hundred years before the Skywalker Saga is meant to tell the tale of a period when the Galactic Republic of the prequel trilogy was at its peak and the Jedi Order was at the height of its power.

As one can see, the timeline entries are not specifically labeled with dates or any other markings to show how far apart they take place. Nevertheless, the timeline kicks off with “The High Republic” and then moves onto the more familiar “Fall of the Jedi” era.

Below this entry, the following

Star Wars

properties are listed:

The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars,

and

Revenge of the Sith

. So, essentially the entire prequel trilogy as well as the animated series that covers the three year conflict known as the Clone Wars.

Moving on, there’s “The Reign of the Empire” which encompasses

The Bad Batch

(the forthcoming

Clone Wars

spinoff) and

Solo: A Star Wars Story

. Curiously absent is the

Jedi: Fallen Order

video game which follows a young, surviving Jedi trying to make a way in a universe where many are trying to kill him.

Up next is “Age of Rebellion” which is composed of

Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

and then the original trilogy of films,

A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back,

and

Return of the Jedi.

Next in line is “The New Republic” and its lone property,

The Mandalorian,

which recently aired its season premiere

.

And finally, there’s “Rise of the First Order

.”

Included under this banner is the animated series,

Star Wars: Resistance

and the sequel trilogy of films,

The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi,

and

The Rise of Skywalker.

The

Star Wars

galaxy is always expanding. New episodes are currently airing on Disney+ and shows based around Cassian Andor and Obi-Wan Kenobi are currently in development.

The High Republic publishing initiative launches in January 2021.
