Description
This is a Star Wars Chart that I have been working on for awhile now.depicting the Star Wars timeline in it's entirety, using the prior "Galactic Wars" as the focus points.
this chart covers the the events of the 'Knights of the Old Republic' videogame series,
the prequel film trilogy, and original film trilogy. And, by extent, the Legends/Sequel Film Trilogy*
(*I got creative in that last part for artistic reasons.)
for newbies, the BBY and ABE keys at the designated years
refer to "Before the Battle of Yavin" and "After the Battle of Endor"
Okay, let's go..
[THE GREAT WAR]
This is the earliest recorded war of the Star Wars universe.
and, is covered entirely in the Knights of the Old Republic PC Role-Playing Games.
the war was between "The Old Republic", and "The Sith Empire"
and took place at a time where hundreds of Jedi and Sith were alive,
and some rules that was are used to haven't yet been established
(EX: It was common for there to be a family generation of Jedi.
so at this point, Marriage and having children wasn't yet forbidden.)
[THE CLONE WAR]
Covered in the Prequel films, and most 'Clone Wars' media.
the Clone Wars was the war that was "The Beginning of the End" for the Jedi Community.
It was between the Galactic Republic, and the Separatists (or, "Confederacy of Independent Systems.")
and was just as much a "Political" battle, as it was a literal one.
[THE CIVIL WAR]
Covered in the Original film trilogy, this is the MAIN Star Wars 'war'
that fans of the series were first introduced to upon it's debut.
The war was between the Galactic Empire (formerly the Republic), and the Rebel Alliance.
and was a civil war Old Republic loyalist, and "Imperialist" loyal to it's new emperor
(despite the creepy similarities between the old Sith Empire from the prior Great War.)
[THE COLD WAR]
Covered in both the Expanded/Legends universe, and the Sequel film trilogy
the aptly dubbed 'Cold War' is the war between the Galactic Alliance (or, "New Republic",
depending on who you ask) and the New Order (remnants of the Empire.)
It is the "current" war that as of yet hasn't a conclusion.
We'll all have to wait, and find out.

I wish there was a fanfic of the merged timelines of Star Wars canon and legend

In that case, I highly recommend you subscribe to the YouTube Channel: "The Scoundrel's Cantina"
As it is a Star Wars discussion channel that likes to merge Legends with Canon.

We did get our conclusion (hopefully) with The Rise of Skywalker
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hopefully.
Though, given there is word that Disney will make yet another Star Wars films,
It remains to be seen if it will be yet another trilogy..or, a stand alone film.
If so, I really do want a film with Ahsoka, Captain Rex, or even Darth Maul as the focus characters.
(Heck, I really want an Old Republic movie. But, that is wishful thinking.)

That's the same thing I was thinking the galactic alliance and the first order at war when luke skywalker and his son Ben skywalker are on exile when daala exiled him
The public unaware is that she is a double agent for the first order, and my father thinks rey is Lukes daughter
And it's not weird for kids that are related to have the same name
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ALOT of people think that Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter,
with many fans either liking, or hating this idea
Those that hate it, are probably tired of the film series STILL
being carried by a member of the Skywalker family.
As understandable as that it, It may still be "unique" enough.
If it is true, then Rey and Ben/Kylo now have a "Cousin Conflict"
(which when it comes to cousins fighting each other, brings Ben 10 flashbacks to me
with Gwen being Rey, and Ben (LOL) being Kylo Ren.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But many people are not happy that Disney strip luke of his wife mara jade
And many great characters, like the made return of the jedi all for nothing, I more worried that Disney made Lukes order a loveless existence
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's not all they are pissed about.
Alot of LucasArt's gaming projects had to be cancelled
after Disney's acquisition due to it "not fitting their vision for the franchise."
Fact, Disney nixed the whole expanded universe simply to give themselves
more creative freedom, and NOT be slave to what had already been written.
I can actually understand that. They planned to make more films,
so they of course retconned the comics so they COULD make their own movies.
(I don't LIKE It too much. But, I do 'Understand' their reasons.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Make more films what are they gonna do most of the cast are dead
Back in 2010 I was hoping for a force unleashed 3 I like the idea of luke getting trained by star killer and or ahsoka tano in the rebellion
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
the OLD cast, you mean.
Disney never intended to have keep using the older characters (and, I do mean "OLD")
a New Trilogy, ALSO meant New Characters (like Rey, Finn, and BB-8.)
Even the old cast were welcome to giving the new cast room to grow.
feeling their time in the spotlight had passed, and it's THEIR turn to shine.
(So, you may be taking this the wrong way.
If Hamill is giving them a shot, then we probably should, too.)
I won't argue the point on TFU3. It had potential.
But, just like that one 'Bounty Hunter' game, It was scrapped.
But, I will give Disney credit. They at least didn't retcon The Clone Wars,
and did make 'Rebels' more of a sequel show with Ahsoka, and Rex being included.
(I still love how Rex gripes about Stormtrooper armor.
saying it is uncomfortable, and nothing like his old Clonetrooper armor.
And, I will also say that I ALWAYS knew Rex wouldn't be part of Order 66 from the start.
His character of bending the rules seemed to imply that he wouldn't. And, I was right.)

Oh yeah I have been playing with the whole chips idea aND came up with this as clones like cody to fe, and bad batch have no chips in their heads as they are most likely trained to take orders without hesitations, but both plaguies,sidious, and dooku think of this their might be some who may have a soft spot for their jedi so they gave chips to later generation clones to be put in certain legion's like 501st and this can be activated by command from palpatine to clone commander and chip clones attack, while it also serves to rout out those who disobey

Im pretty sure that the war in the KOTR games is actually a different one than the one in the SWTOR games or are you ignoring SWTOR since you didn't mention it in your discription.
I am basing the fact that they are different wars do to them stating that that the Endar spire (ship in the beginning of KOTR 1) crash landed on terris hundreds of years ago 600 if memory serves me.
If you are ignoring it (which is fine if you dont want to use it this is your art) why are you using the sith empires logo from that era.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
I was thinking the same thing when the galactic alliance and imperial remnant declares war on the first order
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Exactly how "sure" is "pretty sure"??
because it sounds like you are only making an educated guess that it is different.
and I am using both logos because based on my resources, they are SUPPOSE to be together.
Look. I've already stretched continuities at it is when I mixed the EU with the Sequel trilogy.
let's not drag out the age old "what is canon" argument out, when it's really moot at this point.

i absolutely love you for this. this is who it should be not what disney has done can you link me an attachment through my email address? also im working on a star wars episode 7 fanfic to fit after 2nd civil war and abeloth would you like to read what ive got so far

Can't you just download the image yourself?
Oh, and Thank You. I did my best with this chart.
And I hoped that the more open minded Star Wars fans would appreciate it.

I know that the first KOTR took place in 3956 BBY and the last SWTOR expansion knights of the fallen empire takes place from 3637-3632 BBY. I dont actually know if they are two separate wars although SWTOR implies that the war with the eternal empire during said expansion is a separate war from the war between the sith and the republic (the vanilla SWTOR game) with both the sith and republic essentially on the same side during this war.
I dont know what the eternal empires logo is but the Sith Republic logo was just both there logos split down the middle and placed side by side.
I wasn't trying to start and argument if that's what you got out of it I am sorry.
as for my comment about you ignoring something. It wasn't criticism some people ignore events in timelines if they don't have the data to exactly place it in chronological order

Where did you find that resistance symbol?!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same as all the others "Wookieepedia" (the Star Wars Wikia.)
and what a taxing task THAT was.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
And now........ you forgot the Resistance vs the First Order.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
technically, I didn't. if one thinks outside one's box.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't get it......... do you just not like the sequel trilogy so far.......? I admit though, it pisses me off EU isn't canon, anymore.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no. I just sorta "merged" them together in this case.
as I preferred the EU emblem over TFA one (as that was really just a rehash of what came prior.)
just read the description that I wrote. I explained the purely cosmetic change of the chart.
apart from that, this chart is 100% legit for all those "Canon Fanatics"
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Very nice, I really like the idea that the Sequel Trilogy's era is a "Cold War" of sorts since honestly, it does feel that way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is because it IS a Cold War, according to most everyone.
the relationship between what evolved from the Alliance, and what remains of the Empire
mirrors the real life Cold War, in that both sides signed a peace treaty after their war was getting nowhere for anyone.
So, they are still enemies. but, enemies at "peace."
and while the Alliance basks in this, the Empire is biding it's time to strike a severe blow.
Essentially, any time two enemies agree on a truce. it is often referred to as a "Cold War Agreement"
like: "I hate you, and you hate me. but, fighting isn't working. so, let's draw a line in the sand for now."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It very much is like that and if anything, it's quite cool to see a Cold War.

According to Disney pretty much 99% of the expanded Expanded/Legends stuff is now not canon anymore, and fall under an alternate univere. I thinking it is just all of the movies, and the clone wars that are canon. Don't remember what else survived.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Obviously they did so to have more "creative freedom" with the sequel films
and NOT have to be slave to the expanded material.
Though, despite this. I acknowledged this fact.
and, only used the "Galactic Alliance" symbol from the expanded universe here for cosmetic reasons
(apart from that, this chart can still be considered "canon" by Disney's standards.)
As for the KotOR content, well..that's a Shot in the Dark.
as one of the films technically mentioned "a War that occurred during the formation of the Old Republic."
so, the game series is "so-so" Canon, I guess.
It seems unlikely Disney will bother to confirm or deny it's place in canon,
as they only care about Sequels. NOT more prequels.
So, as long as Disney overlooks it "Knights", It is technically canon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Thanks.
Took some doing to track down these emblems.
but, I felt this chart was necessary to make for the Star Wars community.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This can really help fan find out more in the Star War universe.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, well. MOST fans need to know that not everything about Star Wars
revolved around Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
There was a time long before, and after them
(with the juiciest being 'The Great War' time period. which many agree would make great film adaptions.)
Also, when looking at each faction symbol. one may notice a recurring theme within them.
as they seem to always have a "wing" design, or monocrome colored "gear" shapes.

The Clones Wars really got my attention more when it came out and gave us more insight to the Clones and other Jedis
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, yes. showing a time where there was hundreds of Jedi
(which was refreshing after the original films portrayal Jedi as being few in numbers.)
I still love Captain Rex, the Clone Trooper who bends the rules.
as even since Season One, I knew Rex wouldn't be one of the clones that followed Order 66.
this was based on Rex's personality, and an old novel released prior
that revealed that some clones voluntarily ignored the order on their own, anyway.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah and I also like clones of the Rishi outpost
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, yes. 'The Rookies.'
funny thing is that said episode of The Clone Wars was a bit of social commentary.
showing viewers that not ALL soldiers in the army get sent to the front lines.
there are some stationed at checkpoints and bases
who really just stare at a monitor, and decide who goes where.
Anyone who is fresh out of training were the Rishi Outpost clones
(or, as Rex and Cody called them: "Shinies.")
they were all unique clones. but, I liked how 'Fives'
was the first clone to uncover Sidious conspiracy, and learn the true nature of Order 66.
(in the series continuity, Fives actions prompted Rex to look into it himself.
which other reason why he didn't take part in Order 66. as he had his chip removed.)

Actually, if you count the old expanded universe, there have been a lot of great galactic wars long before the great Sith war of around 4000 years before the battle of Yavin. There was the great hyperspace war that took place about 5000 years BBY, and there may've been a few wars between 30,000 and 25,200 BBY that were fought against the Rakatan infinite empire.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but I had no faction symbols for that.
PLUS, according to a Jedi Scholar at the time.
the Old Republic/Sith Empire war is merely an extension of the Hyperspace War.
so, it counts due to that technicality.
