Star Wars Books & Comics'
Star Wars Saga1 timeline lists Story Group approved stories
and their approved media that form the new Star Wars official continuity. This
timeline constitutes
a muti-media of films, TV episodes, novels,
short stories, comics, young adult novels, and children's books and
comics; and are listed in chronological order,
ie the recommended viewing/reading order. It also distinguishes the approved canonical media,
for example
while the films of the Original and Prequel Trilogies have all had
various theatrical and home video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, etc) releases and re-releases over the years as well as
novel and comic adaptations4
published, the approved format is currently the 2011 Blu-ray/DVD edition
(and subsequent re-releases of those versions) - all other formats/versions
are not approved formats.
To ease navigation of the ever expanding
Star Wars Saga1 timeline, we
have divided it into four time periods, or Ages:
-
Age of Republic -
after a golden age of peace, the galactic Republic enters a state
of complacency where the Senate is rife with corruption and
scandal. The ambitious Senator Palpatine causes himself to be
elected Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.
It is during this
Age that the events of The Phantom Menace, Attack of
the Clones and The Clone Wars occur.
-
Age of Empire -
after three devisive and devasting years of war, Supreme
Chancellor Palpatine promises to reunite the galaxy under the
auspices of the first Galactic Empire, with himself as its
Emperor. However, not all galactic citizens accept Imperial rule
and fledgling cells of rebellion begin the fight back.
It is
during this Age that the events of Revenge of the Sith,
Solo
and Star Wars Rebels occur.
-
Age of Rebellion -
after fifteen years of Imperial tyranny, rebel cells finally unite
under the banner of the Rebel Alliance and the Galactic Civil War
begins.
It is during this Age that the events of Rogue One, A New Hope,
The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi
occur.
-
Age of Resistance - after two decades of
peace, a new order threatens the new Republic.
It is during
this Age that the events of Star Wars Resistance, The
Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of
Skywalker.

*Notes:
-
1 Star Wars Saga is
not a Lucasfilm
endorsed term to describe the new official continuity, it was
created by this website to differentiate between
Legends stories (the former
Expanded Universe) and Lucasfilm Story
Group approved in-continuity stories.
-
2 DATE: Saga dating is
having occured either before or after Episode IV: A New Hope,
ie the events seen in A New Hope are classed as zero
year on the Star Wars timeline (as above). For obvious reason
this is not an in-universe calendar, it is only used as a
reference point within the real-world.
-
3 MEDIA FORMAT: Saga stories are told using a
variety of media: Film (first published as a
theatrical release);
TV (television programme. To assist with
viewing order, episodes include season and episode number, eg TV
[Ep. 1.12] is Season 1, Episode 12); Book
(novel, usually first published in hardback, and may also
include children's books); Comic (usually first
published as individual comic books before being collated into a
graphic novel); Short Story (stories
usually published in Star Wars Insider magazine).
-
4 APPROVED MEDIA: A Saga
story's current approved media. This is the current media format
in which to enjoy the approved Saga story. Please note that for
Episodes I thru VI only the audio-visual version as
released on Blu-Ray in 2011 or on DVD in 2013 or Digital HD in 2015
(and subsequent releases on same format) is
classed as the approved version: novelisations of any of the films
(and other adaptations such as comic book, children's book,
etc.) form part of Story Group continuity only in so
far as where the novel's story aligns to that seen on-screen - the
rest of the adaptation's story is classed as
Legends.
*Approved media for
original novel stories first published in hardback also include
the e-Book version, unabridged Audio Book version and, when released, the
paperback version. - 6 Story/title not yet published.
-
7 Exact timeline placement yet to be determined.
-
This list is neither definitive nor exhaustive.
