A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… The Star Wars timeline spans nine eras and thousands of years. Bookended by the Dawn of the Jedi and the New Jedi Order eras, the epic saga has unfolded across 11 films, over a dozen television series, and dozens more video games, novels, and comic books, with a slate of new Star Wars movies and TV shows continuing to roll out in 2025 and beyond.

“As you can see by all the television we’ve been doing, we’re exploring a lot of different storylines. This really spawns from what George Lucas said years ago, that he created Star Wars to move forward and backward along a mythological timeline,” producer and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said at Star Wars Celebration. “Now we’re looking to broaden that timeline, building a rich future, expanding upon the present, going deep into the past to tell our stories, and we’re thrilled to be working with some of the best and most passionate filmmakers on projects that will span the past, the present, and the future.”

Beginning centuries before the nine-episode Skywalker Saga, the Star Wars timeline reaches from the golden age of the Jedi in the High Republic era (Star Wars: The High Republic and The Acolyte) to the Fall of the Jedi (The Clone Wars and the Star Wars prequels trilogy), to the Reign of the Empire (everything from Jedi: Fallen Order to Andor and Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld) and the Age of Rebellion (the original Star Wars trilogy), to the era of the New Republic (The Battle of Jakku trilogy and The Mandalorian) and the Rise of the First Order (the Star Wars sequels trilogy).
Keeping track of the different eras and where each installment fits in the timeline can be a Death Star-sized undertaking, so Lucasfilm has updated the official Star Wars timeline to include recent releases Andor (which leads right into the events of Rogue One and A New Hope) and Tales of the Underworld, the animated anthology set between the events of the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy. (Note that the Tales anthologies — Tales of the Jedi, Tales of the Empire, and Tales of the Underworld — span wide stretchs of time.)
