The Old Republic
Events occurring up to 67 years before the Battle of Yavin
The Old Republic was the legendary government that united a galaxy under the rule of the senate. In this era, the Jedi are numerous, and serve as guardians of peace and justice.
Includes the Dawn of the Jedi comic book and novel series of the Before The Republic era.

Rise of the Empire
Events occurring between 67 years and 2 years before the Battle of Yavin
After the seemingly final defeat of the Sith, the Republic enters a state of complacency. In the waning years of the Republic, the senate was rife with corruption and scandal, and saddled with a bureaucracy so immense that effective governing was nearly impossible. The ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected Supreme Chancellor, and promised to reunite the galaxy under a New Order.

The Rebellion
Events occurring between 2 years before and 5 years after the Battle of Yavin
An outcry of resistance begins to spread across the galaxy in protest to the new Empire's tyranny. Cells of Rebellion fight back, and the Galactic Civil War begins.
This era begins with the formal declaration of the birth of the Rebel Alliance on Corellia and Kashyyyk and ends a year after the death of the Emperor high over the forest moon of Endor. The Rebellion starts to reform itself into a body of government, first as the Alliance of Free Planets, and later the New Republic.

The New Republic
Events occurring between 5 and 25 years after the Battle of Yavin
Having defeated the Empire at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance must now transform itself from a militant resistance force into a functioning galactic government. As Imperial territory is reclaimed, the New Republic suffers growing pains, having to fend off insurrections, Imperial loyalists and wayward warlords. Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi, begins training apprentices and rebuilding the Jedi order.

New Jedi Order
Events occurring between 25 and 40 years after the Battle of Yavin
The Jedi Knights are now a hundred strong. The New Republic has signed a peace treaty with what little remains of the Empire. The galaxy is finally enjoying a peaceful respite from decades of war. It's at this time that a horrible alien menace invades the Republic from beyond known space. The Yuuzhan Vong lay waste to entire worlds in their scourge of the galaxy.

Legacy of the Force
Events occurring 40 years after the Battle of Yavin
This is the era of Luke Skywalker's legacy: the Jedi Master has unified the order into a cohesive group of powerful Jedi Knights. But as the new era begins, planetary interests threaten to disrupt this time of relative peace, and Luke is plagued with visions of an approaching darkness. Evil is rising again and it looks as if the legacy of the Skywalkers may come full circle.
Both the Fate of the Jedi novels and Legacy comic book series occur during this era.

The Clone Wars
Events occurring between 22 and 19 years before the Battle of Yavin
Chronicles events occurring between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith only.
Failure to incorporate original Clone wars material published circa 2002-2007 and that published 2008-2013 as part of The Clone Wars animated film and six season TV series into one cohesive timeline, means that there are currently two Legends timelines for the Clone Wars era.
The first is for original material published circa 2002-2007, the second is for The Clone Wars film, TV series and accompanying tie-in books and comics.
