Timeline of galactic history
Before the Republic (eons–25,025 BBY)
- Sentient species prehistory
The Wellspring of Life
- The universe begins forming.[2]

Led by Rur[42] and related to the Massassi,[43] their experiments on immortality led to conflicts with Jedi orthodoxy, beginning the Entruvia Conflict. A dating system based on the signing of the Domancion Accord was used around this time,[44] and the conflict ended with a Jedi—Ordu Aspectu peace treaty: Jedi inspectors arrived at Rur's citadel, and, believing they intended to deactivate him, an artificial intelligence made of Rur's knowledge seized control of the citadel's droids and slaughtered its inhabitants. Rur sacrificed himself to deactivate the machine, hyperspace-jumping the citadel across the galaxy.[42]

The latter died as a result of an attack on Mustafar, leading to Corvax's theft of the most sacred Mustafarian relic, the Bright Star, in an attempt to use it in a ritual to resurrect her love.[82] The ritual failed; instead, the Bright Star's energies pushed Mustafar into a new orbit, reducing the world to an unbalanced, chaotic state. A volcanic wasteland is created[82] as tiny Mustafar is torn between gas giants Lefrani and Jestefad.[15] Thus, Sith seeking the secrets of eternal life were attracted to the world.[50]

Centuries before the Clone Wars, the Rule of Two is revealed to the Jedi Order, though still they presume the Sith's eradication and believe that Bane's plan is ruined with his defeat[94] allegedly at the hands of his apprentice, Darth Zannah, in a duel on the Inner Rim planet Ambria.

- The Coruscant-based Republic Chancellor Lina Soh envisions a galaxy of Great Works that ranged from infrastructure to culture in an effort to expand the Republic's reaches, better connect the peoples of the galaxy, and bring inspiration and peace for all citizens. Efforts are made to negotiate a new peace treaty between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari, as well as to mass-produce bacta—a "miracle" substance[251] primarily made from a barley originally cultivated on Thyferra[253] that was intended to replace juvan—in the hopes of revolutionizing medicine.[251]

Before leaving for Lothal, Thrawn takes the gamble of convincing Ronan to travel with Ar'alani back to the Chiss Ascendancy despite Ar'alani's warning that growing chaos amongst the Chiss threatened civil war. Thrawn also recommends Commander Faro to take command the Eleventh Fleet.[904]
- With Thrawn's loyalty to the Empire in serious doubt, the Emperor orders him to return for a long talk after handling the rebellion on Lothal.

While he could have gone through the race's endpoint—a gate that created a wormhole leading to the race's starting point—Solo instead allows Loo Re Anno, the last of her kind, to return home using the gate, which was created by Anno's kind for their exodus from the wider galaxy.[31]

Behind the scenes
- "[W]e'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."
- ―Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy
Star Wars creator George Lucas had intended the fictional universe to be a mythology, with stories taking place throughout a timeline.[1307] Since 2014, Lucasfilm has been creatively aligning all storytelling in the current canon, aiming to keep all content consistent and interconnected in all aspects. Some content draw inspiration from the Expanded Universe that is now branded as a separate continuity—Star Wars Legends[1308]—which has its own timeline of galactic history on Wookieepedia, an unaffiliated online Star Wars encyclopedia maintained by volunteers.
Lucasfilm's Star Wars eras for the current canon continuity comprise of "Dawn of the Jedi," "The Old Republic," "The High Republic," "Fall of the Jedi," "Reign of the Empire," "Age of Rebellion," "The New Republic," "Rise of the First Order," and "New Jedi Order."[1309]
