Official Timeline: The Eras of Star Wars

Every saga has a beginning, middle, and end. The stories of the galaxy far, far away span thousands of years, with eras defined along a mythological timeline giving context to its past, present, and future. As Star Wars continues to expand and evolve, these eras provide a sense of scope to an epic tale still being told.

Dawn Of The Jedi

The Old Republic

The Republic is founded among the worlds of the Galactic Core, and the Jedi Order emerges to protect it. A schism within the Jedi leads to the creation of the Sith in this epic era.

The High Republic

Under the protection of the Jedi Knights and the wise rule of the Senate, the Republic grows into a golden age. The vast Outer Rim beckons the intrepid seeking to discover new worlds and spread the optimism of the Republic.

Fall of the Jedi

A long forgotten menace returns as a Sith lord orchestrates a devastating conflict, plunging the galaxy into full scale war with the Jedi Knights at the frontlines.

Reign of the Empire

Through treachery and deception, the Galactic Empire rules unchallenged and grows in military might. A scant few Jedi survivors retreat into the shadows as they are hunted down mercilessly.

Age of Rebellion

Outnumbered, the Rebellion spreads across the galaxy. Rebel heroes fan the flickering light of hope in a heroic stand against the evil Galactic Empire.

The New Republic

The Empire has been defeated, and the emergent New Republic faces the great challenge of rebuilding and reuniting the galaxy. It is a tentative and fragile peace, threatened by the remnants of the Empire.

Rise of the First Order

In secret, the legacy of the Empire transforms into the First Order and strikes a devastating blow against the New Republic. A fledgling Resistance and new generation of heroes are left to stand against a resurrected enemy.
