#starwars
BBY = before baby yoda?
I needed this
Canon? sorry...no actual Star Wars fan considers anything Disney produced to be canon. George created Star Wars...Disney copies it poorly.
The hurried sidewalk conceivably empty because amusement anatomically squeak plus a male oyster. zealous, meaty vacuum
Do you have a list of the timeline? Like the books in the timeline order
Your video makes me wanna read all the books mentioned... then I remember I don't have the patience
I very much enjoyed this. You worked your ass off for this and you're just great putting it in this format!
Wrong timeline.
14:55 You forgot to mention the importance of the high ground.
Is it confirmed that the show mandalorian was in 8 ABY or is it a guess?
When you said Chewbacca got a medal I did a double take
If the sith rule is only master and apprentice surely that's fauled with the clone wars Darth Sidious masters dooku he masters Ventress and general grievous
I thought the 2nd sith homework was Korriban not morraban
Disney Sequels will never be part of the true cannon. That spot is for content that respects the creator. George Lucas.
@gamers paradise oh. That Fin can hold his own with a light sabre against Kylo ren. (who should have just killed him)
@gamers paradise Oh. The resistance fleet running out of fuel, as if that would cause them to stop moving? If they were accelerating constantly, they would just be getting closer and closer to the speed of light. Makes no sense.
@gamers paradise oh. General Hux turning on the First Order (after showing how dedicated he was to the cause by destroying a number of planets) just because he doesn't like Kylo? Makes no sense.
@gamers paradise Snoke coming from no where, having no development and no back story.
@gamers paradise They bad movies for shitty Hollywood sci fi, but horrible when included in the starwars universe.
And eventually the last 3 films will be totally and utterly retconned in favour of something far better than Mary Ray Sue
The outrageous john conceptually x-ray because person worrisomely grate worth a superficial random. important, elated cub
What about the old republic though
It is Legends since 2014
I swear snoke joined the story like a call of duty character in an already started session
As cool as this is, Legends is better imo.
2 things. You have to add the mando season 2 stuff (no spoilers 😂) and I just want to ask Why starkiller wasn't in here I thought that was canon with cal kestas
Dude you skimmed over like all of the old republic
It is Legends No more canon since 2014
9 months later, i still watch this video everyday.
@Hugh Mungus honestly
Watching this is so addicting 😭
When you get it when he starts talking about Disney Star Wars just listening to me sounds so stupid
Can we start with the process of ignoring and then forgetting the sequel story please?
Amazing work You did. Just a slight correction: Darth Plagiues is still alive during the Phantom Menace! Keep up Ur work
What if the Empire used X-wings?
The story sure falls into the toilet after rotj
So wait a minute: the separatists fought the republic for the same reason the rebels fought the empire?
Ive found each film a bit boring and dumb. More interesting as 70s/80s nostalgia. In fact, watching star wars at 6-7yo, was an early recognition that most people had lower intellect. I remember looking around the theatre at how funny and interesting the crowd found it, and I was bored. In contrast, Grease, Jaws, and Close Encounters were totally captivating even to a child because they had some depth and emotional resonance. People forget that in the 70s/80s the toys and cards were the key to star wars. I think in the 00s and beyond, the parallel fantasy works and video games may be the same. The films always kind of suck.
new canon is alt universe
OMG! Could you possibly speak any faster? Seriously... SLOW DOWN! How do even breathe while narrating this? I made it five minutes and gave up trying to follow this.
Rey and fin aren't even in existence far as I'm concerned they're useless pointless and since their only purpose is a virtue signal lie I don't even count them in anyway star wars ended before rey and fins existence so they mean nothing star wars is over ...time to forget the horrible last three nightmares and that's all they are ...and disney can tell the story of the real characters
the movies should've ended when the original trilogy and sequels were released. That's just my opinion
I don’t feel like watching all the movies but I like the mandalorian so I came to figure out more about it
You cut out that disney fanfic right? Lol you better have.
44:09
Legends: starts in 13000000000 bby and ends 137 aby Cannon: starts in 10000 bby and ends in like 35 aby Which sounds better
This is the first time the storyline has been so streamlined and makes chronological sense. It would be nice to also include some information about General Syndulla, as some of that and alphabet squadron supposedly are canon. Maybe I'm just too attached to the characters in Rebels, but the Star Wars Universe is so vast and interconnected that it would probably take hours to explain it all. Seriously amazing video though
Legands is more interesting
Now make a Legends one! :D
There is already one
'canon'....that word is meaningless with disney in charge
Why ?
fak you all damb beaches tanginanyonglahat sialan kamu bodoh indonesia peroid
is it weird i fall asleep to this
"He still hasn't paid off his debts to Jaba" Yup, sounds like solo alright.
Are there any viewers who still consider the Jedi "wise"?
Hmmmm I dunno
Darth Plagueis was still alive in phantom menace
Oh ItS THoSe gUyS FrOm fOrtNiTE
Soooo what happened to Jar Jar binks?
On Naboo The adults did not like him But kids yes
Becomes a Street Clown
The mountainous spleen bailly trust because rugby originally mourn between a utopian island. quaint, little note
as a casual star wars fan, i found myself going “ohhh okay that makes sense”
everything sequel trilogy related is piss-poor, contrived fanfiction writing What kind of idiot would scrapp the military if there is a part of the galaxy that is not discovered yet? ( *Unknown* Region)
KOTOR 1 & 2 should be Canon, they're great histories along with Darth Plagueis novel and Tales of the Jedi,for the other side histories like Shadow of the Empire , Crimson Empire, Revan novel, The Old Republic MMO , Dark Empire and The Force Unleashed better keep it Legends, boring and lame ass histories
I think that Kotor should be canon, but they should not make a KOTOR Book or Movie. Part of the enjoyment of that game is that Revan is based on the player. His or Her adventures are what make the character cool
NOOOOO MANDO IS DISNEY CANON
:)
Now I realized that in spite of watching hours of all SW movies, I know about 5% of the whole plot
Didn’t they just come out and say rays timeline was in an alternate universe from the rest of Star Wars?
@Xavier Lauzac oh sorry man ^^"
@CT-5597 Jesse I was speaking on your behalf.
@Xavier Lauzac proof ? The wiki says that this is canon Show your source
No.
She is canon
Yep, I'd rather watch lost.
Sorry dude. Rey is NOT cannon. Fail.
@Hawker75 why seriously it is not because you don't line her that she is not canon
@samson pessah LMAO Yes
@Fernando Luna NOT
@CT-5597 Jesse NOT
WHEN THE CANON IS MISPELLED 😳
All of this sounds much like earth's own history with just a differently named narrative....
As I understand it, George Lucas said that the sequels are not canon. Even though he sold the franchise, he will always be its creator, so if he says it, then that's the way it is.
Yes of course
Only the writers decide. Not the original creator.
You missed the present day we’re Lucas film and Disney are destroying Star Wars
26:32 droids murder!
funny... not a single mention of Jar Jar Binks who suggested the senate to appoint emergency powers to Palpatine :) Great Video all-around though, I watched it from start to finish :)
the old republic?
It is legends
Hey man, u should be the next Jedi Thanks for the huge information. But i'm still confused
Who wouldn’t?
Stable video 👍
The nice brochure adventitiously unite because select possibly pedal during a offbeat headlight. bitter, tense child
Boy, a lot happened 20 BBY.
Didn’t get it.
Damn even even the summary of the rise of skywalker sounds bad
Splendid work✌️
Jesus loves you repent before its too late
Just remember kitties we lost the canon of the old republic and it got replaced with Disney’s version.also as a side note Force unleashed 1 will always remain canon in our hearts. Unleashed 2 i’m still not so sure. (Good video by the way)
Dont worry george lucas is back in charge and he will probably start recanonising the extended universe
Lol my dude included the last 3. HAH
Sounds like religious history. Yahweh to Baal, tower of Babel. Father, mother sun as the mother slowly faded. Mandalorians are the Jesuits. Palpatine is the Pope. The rebel resistance are Diaspora Jews.
Cancel Disney , cancel star wars
Cancel Star Wars, return to Star Trek
I would argue that the downfall of the Jedi started when they attacked the mandos. As the mandos feared the Jedi, they tried to build weapons to be on par with a potential enemy. Instead of showing them the “good” people they are suppose to be. They attack them.... because they are building weapons that can contest the Jedi. Kind of weird right? That the Jedi attacked the Mandos because they would’ve threatened there power hegemony.
Moz
nice..
I think 99% of people that are Star wars "fans" don't know nothing about the books and stuff
@Joji Is Your Homie I think you just have to start and not think about it too much
@Joji Is Your Homie idk whats your type but everything is very good and interesting
I really wanna get into it but idk where to start. Idek if I wanna go back to Legends or stay in Canon. If you have suggestions I'd be happy to hear 'em
Yup
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! 💯
Great! Who has the time to read everything Star Wars, right? Great effort and much appreciated and thanks a lot. Rock on.
Next time please mention mauls brother savage opress
Isn't weird that things get a bit messy once force awakens hits? Falcon; undisclosed amount of time LMFAO
Omfg amazing job! Can't wait to see it all change when the sequel trilogy is put into it's own little box called "alternative universe". If what rumors are true, and season 2 of mando is "real", everything after the rebels show will be different, at least for luke. Therefore the story lol
Yeah of course
The sequels will remain canon.
Kk
Glad you included fallen order !
I dont acknowledged the last 3 films
I dont acknowledged your grammar. Though it really is subjective.
They’re canon whether you like it or not.
@Xavier Lauzac well the last 3 movies sucks anyway so yeah idc 💁🏻♀️
You’re definitively wrong for doing so.
this is great, but you should have gone over more sith lords before the rule of two
In canon ? Nope we don't know a lot of thing before the rule of two in canon
When I started watching the first Star Wars when it was shown in the cinema, I have no idea that it is so complicated. My wow to George Lucas that has the whole story line when he started. And many thanks to you to piece together this complete story.
George didn't have this whole story when he started. You should be able to find an early draft of "The Star Wars." There was a lot that was different in 1976.
where did windu go as an apprentice?
Somewhere a 1,000 years before the movies and shows Yoda is born.
You forgot the part luke kissed his sister
We all do
Wow i love star wars a long time but i dit No the Timeline .
Di$ney ain't canon !!!
It is Canon jerk
Yes it is. Only the writers decide that.
Holy crap man thanks so much man
This is amazing. I've not seen or read much beyond the mainstream movies and TV offshoots like Mandalorian. This Complete Canon Timeline helps me understand so much that I often found myself headscratching about, particularly the events between 4, 5 and 6. Well done!!
Awesome video
That was great, thanks! I know a heck of a lot work goes into the timeline videos, and I hope we will keep getting yearly updates, especially with all the new shows dropping on Disney+ in the next few years. Bravo!
Rey had no right to become a skywalker! When I heard name: "The Rise of the Skywalker" - I immediately imagined that it would be about Ben's rise... But disney, like always, did a shit and make me eat that.... 🤮
🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I've been waiting how long for Luke Skywalker to do something and Disney has him do nothing for three movies. Arg. I can't help but think George wouldn't have done that (among a long list of other things).
"Video is long enough as it is"... MOREEEEEEE(in kylo ren)
Is there a vid like this for the original (preDisney) canon out there?
You mean legends? Yes.
congratulations to you. great video. now i can begin to understand
