Star Wars Timelines

This visual guide lays out the story of Star Wars across its full span, from the period before the High Republic to the close of the First Order. Its timelines place events, characters, and developments in chronological order and explain why each one matters. Major wars and conflicts are shown as they ripple through the galaxy over the years. Some threads run through the whole saga: the lineage of the Skywalker lightsaber across generations, the changing design of the TIE fighter from one era to the next, and the route the Death Star plans take over time. Branching timelines break down key battles step by step.

Events are grouped by era, and readers can move from a quick overview to finer detail, including major and minor events, key dates, and background insights, all kept in sequence. Timelines appear on almost every page, so the layout rewards browsing as well as close study.

The history is divided into seven eras: Early History, The High Republic, The Fall of the Jedi, The Reign of the Empire, The Age of Rebellion, The New Republic, and The Rise of the First Order. The book is aimed at Star Wars fans who want a clear, ordered picture of how the franchise's events connect.
