In a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars is one of the most beloved franchises in film history. Its vast mythology has been expanded through countless movies, television shows, and especially comics; however, it can be difficult to keep track of all the happenings in the world of Star Wars. To address this issue, Lucasfilm recently released an official timeline guide that offers an in-depth look at the events of the franchise that have unfolded—from ancient stories to future events.
The timeline guide offers a concise look at all the major events in the Star Wars universe, from the Great Hyperspace War to the rise of The First Order and everything in between. For longtime fans of the franchise, many of these events are familiar, as they have been explored in depth in the novels and comics. But for newcomers, the timeline guide provides a glimpse into the lore of Star Wars while also serving as an intriguing hint of what might come next.
For example, the timeline mentions an event known as The Great Disaster, which took place thousands of years ago and is believed to have destroyed a large portion of the galaxy. While we don’t know what exactly happened, the guide hints at the possibility that this event could be the focal point of future stories taking place in the Star Wars universe.
It also offers a look into the future of the franchise, with events taking place up to the year 135 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin, when the Rebel Alliance destroyed the first Death Star). While it doesn’t offer specifics about what is planned for the future films and television shows, it does provide a glimpse of the possibilities that could be in store for fans of the Star Wars universe.
For Star Wars fans, the timeline guide is an invaluable tool that can help them better understand and explore the world of Lucasfilm’s creations. However, it’s also a great resource for casual viewers who may be just getting into the franchise or the mythology of Star Wars as a whole. With its plethora of hints and glimpses into the past and future of Star Wars, the timeline guide is a great way to explore the vast universe created by George Lucas.
