Since its release in 1977, Star Wars has not only been a classic series of films with a history of more than 30 years, but has also been cast into American pop culture and become an inseparable part of it.
The clouds in this "distant galaxy" depicted in Star Wars are fascinating, but with only 9 movies, it is difficult for the audience to get a glimpse of the full picture of the "Star Wars Epic". And after Darth Mitch's acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, the battle between Star Wars's "history" and "legend" is inseparable. (All Star Wars novels, comics, and spin-offs that were officially announced on April 25, 2014 will no longer have "canonical" status and will be relegated to "legends"))
In order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, the official Lucasfilm has released and licensed a number of materials and official settings about the "Star Wars Chronicle", including nearly 50,000 years of "Star Wars Chronicles". This article will take you to explore the end of the "Brief History of the Galaxy".
Star Wars, an EP with chronology
The history of Star Wars usually begins with the Battle of Yavin (the battle in which Luke led the rebels to blow up the Death Star, known as battle of Yavin) in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the first in the series released in 1977) as the criterion for dividing the ages and a chronicle. The time before the Battle of Yavin is conventionally recorded by fans as BBY (Before Battle of Yavin), and the time after the Yavin War is recorded as ABY (After Battle of Yavin). For example, 5 years after the Battle of Yavin are recorded as 5ABY.
It is important to note that the Battle of Yavin itself took place in the 0th year of the Era in the Star Wars setting, i.e. 0 ABY or 0 BBY. But this is different from the Common Era that is now in common use, because the Common Era year does not have 0 years, but begins in 1 AD.

In the Chronicles of Star Wars, 13,500,000,000 (don't count zero, it's 13.5 billion) BBY, when the universe was born and the "Force" formed. At 5,000,000,000 (5 billion) BBY, the star wars story took place in galaxy formation. There are about four trillion planets in this massive galaxy. 7.5 million BBHY, the star system Yawen formed.
The turning point took place at 1 million BBHY, with a race of siths appearing on a planet called Korriban at the edge of the galaxy mentioned above, which was highly intelligent. In the center of the galaxy, a planet called oruscant also appeared with intelligent races and even established cities.
At 27,500 BBBY, the first colonists of humanity came to the star of Alderaan. This planet is the planet inhabited by the king and queen who adopted Princess Leia, and it is also the home of Princess Leia. 2500 years later, the Corellians succeeded in inventing a hyperspace engine that could move quickly between galaxies, and the entire galaxy was linked together, and the story began to press the fast-forward button. The Hyperspace Engine is a must-have for almost every spacecraft in Star Wars, and the moment of hyperspace jumping is also one of the most classic pictures in Star Wars.
In this context , Coruscant Star began to develop rapidly due to its superior geographical location due to its central location in the very center of the galaxy. The Galactic Republic was established, and Star Wars fans generally refer to it as the Old Republic. The planets coruscant, Odran, Corellia, and Chandrila were among the first to join, with Coruscant being designated as the capital of the old Communist Party.
At the same time, the Jedi began to appear, but at that time the Jedi was not yet a "Samurai Order" or a "Knights", but a "scientific research organization" that studied the Force. Over the next ten thousand years, the Galactic Empire expanded rapidly, and most of the races containing humans acquired the ability to travel interstellarly and gave birth to a universal interstellar language.
24,500 BBBY, belongs to the history of the Jedi to open. As you learn about and use the Force, the dark side of the Force gradually unfolds. There is a Jedi named Xiandu who falls into the dark side for the first time and begins to declare war on the Republic. After the first Dark Jedi were defeated, Xiandu was also killed, and the remaining Dark Jedi were banished to the periphery of the galaxy. It was because of this banishment that the Dark Jedi discovered the Siths, who were extremely gifted with the dark side of the Force, and the two tribes began to intermarry and establish the Sith Empire.
500 years later, a class of Jedi warriors specializing in the fight against the Sith emerged and established strict Jedi dogma. At 15,000 BBBY, the fleet system of the Galactic Republic was established and the Golden Age of the Republic began. 1,000 years later, the Sith invented Holocron, a holographic recording technology for preserving data, and 4,000 years later, the Galactic Republic established a holographic communication network on this basis.
9,900 BBBY is destined to be the most extraordinary year in the history of Star Wars chronicles, because the first lightsaber was invented, and although the lightsaber at this time is not the same as the lightsaber we know, it is still the most colorful stroke in the history of Star Wars. For more than 1,000 years, the Galactic Republic frantically developed commerce, trade, and technology, and even expanded its colonies.
At 5,000 BGW, Naga Sadow, half of Sith descent, became the new Sith Lord, instructing explorer siblings Gav Daragon and Jori Daragon to lead the Sith on an attack on Coruscant. However, Jolly managed to rule the Galactic Republic, and the Sith was defeated and forced to retreat to the Yavin IV satellite. After World War I, the originally loose resistance to the Sith's Jedi organization began to be greatly valued by the Republic.
4,756BBY, the Rakata people who hid in underground bunkers more than 20,000 years ago began to appear because of the war, causing the galaxy to erupt into warlord-style melee. At 4,465 BBBY, a defecting Jedi apprentice, Freetown Nadal, found the dormant Naga Shadu, who was trained as a new generation of Sith lords and conquered a planet outside the Territory of the Old Republic called Onderon.
On April 200, some colonists discovered a desert planet, Tatooine, with rich mineral deposits, and they established the first city on the planet Tatooine, Anchorhead, home to Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker. At 3,998 BBBY, the Jedi liberated Underlander, and some of the rebellious Jedi were eliminated in the ensuing war.
At 3,962BBY, the Mandalorians launch a war against the Galactic Republic, but the Jedi master Revan and his student Malak go astray on the way, attracted by a planet full of dark force, and fall into the dark side, forming a new Sith Empire, launching a terrible Jedi Civil War, so that the populations of the Jedi and Sith quickly withered away. The Sith was eventually destroyed, the Jedi were reorganized, and the culprit, the Malajo V satellite, was detonated.
3,900 BBLY, the site of the Star Wars 1 story, was discovered on the planet Naboo, where Queen Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, was discovered.
At 2,000 BBBY, another group of Jedi Warriors fell and stole the Sith's hologram recorder, giving birth to the new Sith Organization and sparking a new war. During the war, the new Sith was wiped out, and its last of its darth Bane escaped. In 1000 BBBY, he formulated the iron rule that influenced the development of the Sith: there could only be two Siths in this world at a time, one master and one apprentice.
896BBY, Master Yoda was born.

Although the plot and texture of the last trilogy of "Star Wars" were criticized by the audience, in any case, the last trilogy still put an end to the adventure of the Skywalker family. And excellent dramas such as "The Mandalorians", "The Clone Wars" and even official novels are completing the puzzle of the history of Star Wars, and it is hoped that in the near future, the story of this distant galaxy will be more fascinating on the big screen.
