The Approaching Storm

  • The Approaching Storm by Alan Dean Foster appears twice (once under 22BBY, once under 22.5BBY). Can someone delete whichever the incorrect date is? NBRBH 10:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Timespan

Shouldn't the Rise of the Empire era be from 32 BBY to 0 BBY. I mean, for the 968 years before that the Empire wasn't really rising. Jasca Ducato 14:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Ideally yes, but that's not how it is canonically, so it stays as it is. --MarcK [talk] 14:33, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Not wanting to be difficult but where does it say that? I like to know about sources people cite. Jasca Ducato 17:18, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with Jasca. To me, the Republic era is 25,000 BBY to 32 BBY, and the Rise of the Empire Era is 32 to 0 BBY. --Alpha Fire 22:41, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
    • StarWars.com - Eras of Adventure -- Ozzel 23:38, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
      • The Sith Order that eventually destroys the Republic was established at 1,000 BBY by Darth Bane, there must be something like this to it. I also find this timespan to be a bit too long, though, but if this is what is canonical, we have to use it. - TopAce 16:16, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Wizards' D20 RPG - which also posesses some canonical reference due to their close work with LFL - claims the RotE era starts at 50 years prior to ANH. Sounds much more logical to me... - Tulon 16:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Look to Ozzel's post, though. Starwars.com identifies it as beginning at 1000 BBY. It makes sense when you think about it, because the "Rise" of the Empire would begin not with Palpatine, but with the new Sith Order and Darth Bane (see Episode I novelization), as TopAce notes. - SonofNils 14:43, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
  • This should end at 19 BBY, with the foundation og the Empire. It makes no sense for it to end at 0 ABY at all. No sense at all.
  • I agree. Rise of the Empire begins at 1000 BBY with the new philosophies of Darth Bane, and ends with the formation of the New Order in 19 BBY. The time period from 19 BBY to Battle of Yavin is the Empire Era. 217.157.140.123 14:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
    • Ozzel is as clumsy as he always is. Stupid!
  • The Imperal Senate had repersenters from the Old Republic as far as the origanal Star Wars film. Republic loylest such as Mon Martha and Liea and Bail heald possition in the Empire until all the senerters were replaced by Moffs. When Grand Moff Tarken delivers the messange to the other Imperal rulers in the Death star that the Moffs had taken power he says...

The Last Remanents of the Old Republic have been swept away there fore craveing way fore a new era in which you know to be the Rebellion era. EmperofFatilism

Should this be a bibliography page?

  • Shouldn't there be an actual article here in the same manner as the Pre-Republic era page is written, instead of a list of publcations? Furthermore, there are events that go back as far as 990 BBY, unless one wanted to start the article at 1000 BBY, for which there is plenty of history as well. Check out Category:Years in the Rise of the Empire era

501st?

Anyone who's played the campaign on Battlefront 2 knows about the military transition from the republic to empire and maybe this should be mentioned.

  • What? This is a timeline.--Ranat 23 16:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Clean up

This article really needs to be cleaned up. I'll try to make some changes.--Ranat 23 17:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Year Numbering

How did they number the years before the battle of Yavin?—Unsigned comment by Sugarfreak50 (talk • contribs)

JA errors

The dating on this series is really messed up. How can SE#1 occur in between Evil Experiment and Dangerous Rescue when Qui-Gon is in captivity during that time? And furthermore, how can those books be three years apart? -- Steve 14:07, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Somebody needs to add new Clone Wars stuff. Like the Anikin and Ahsoka comics.

New Era; Splitting up Clone Wars with Rise of the Empire

One thing that REALLY annoys me is that events from the Clone Wars (expanded universe) always get thrown under "Rise of the Empire" Era. Look, this war devastated the galaxy, mentioned in books even during the New Jedi Order. So why do we categorize them under a simple military coupe? OK, sure, Order 66 was a huge event, but only because of the manslaughter of Jedi. Why not create a Clone Wars era?--Darkforcerising 47 19:47, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Because it doesn't work that way. It's not up to us. The Old Republic, Rise of the Empire, Rebellion, New Republic, New Jedi Order, and Legacy eras are all established time periods. Besides, there have been plenty of other wars (many longer than the Clone Wars), yet you don't see separate time periods for them, do you? Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 19:53, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I hear you, Grand Moff. Thanks!--Darkforcerising 47 16:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with Darkforcerising. The term rise of the empire makes the events of the era seem unimportant, like a preview of what is to come. But It isn't that way. Not at all.--71.240.181.195 23:27, January 11, 2013 (UTC)#1ObiWanKenobiFan

  • As Tranner says, it's not up to us. They are official publishing eras. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 23:50, January 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yoda's early life

LFL should approve for an auther/authers and Dark Horse Comics to create novels and comics depicting Yoda's early life, from being an apprentice to jedi master and finally Grand Master of the Jedi Order.

i think this part is the latest part of the timeline

i mean the old repubulic era
