Star Wars - Timeline (New Canon)

[wyokid]

I'm adding back in the Korean webcomic adaptation of A New Hope, as they've just begun releasing translated English versions, and it does offer new material that expands on Luke's childhood and teen years.

The official translated versions can be read here:

The first three chapters are already up, and it looks like they'll be releasing two chapters per week, so the A New Hope adaptation should be done in about 6 weeks or so, at which point they'll start translating the ESB adaptation thats currently being released weekly in Korean, and then finally they'll begin a RotJ adaptation.

I knew this was going to be good, but wow. I know the story by heart and this still feels fresh and new. This is a really good retelling. I love how much of Anakin's personality is in Luke and this is making me really want an Obi-Wan movie.

Added all the new short stories to be released that tie in with The Force Awakens. Many will be released as ebooks the end of November and into December, with an anthology collection released in April, 2016 that'll collect some of them. Also added title for the upcoming short story in SWI #162, also a tie-in to The Force Awakens.

Updated for Star Wars - Battlefront: Twilight Company novel, and have been updating every week when new Star Wars comics come out.

Martin Fisher, who writes almost all of the comic shorts in the Star Wars Rebels Magazine, clarified placement for most of the stories:

Here's that list for you. Please note that I didn't write Eyes on the prize so I don't know where that slots into the time line:

Ring Race- Set between Fighter Flight and Rise of the Old Masters

Learning Patience- Set between Rise of the Old Masters and Breaking Ranks

The Fake Jedi- Set between Breaking Ranks and Out of Darkness

Kallus' Hunt- Set between Breaking Ranks and Out of Darkness

Return of the Slavers- Set between Gathering Forces and Path of the Jedi

Sabotaged Supplies- Set between Path of Jedi and Idiots Array

Ezra's Vision- Set between Vision of Hope and Call to Action

Senate Perspective- Set between Fire Across the Galaxy and Siege of Lothal

Becoming Hunted- Vision of Hope and Call to Action

Assessment- Set just before Call to Action

Ocean Rescue- Set between Fire Across the Galaxy and Siege of Lothal

Secrets of Sienar- Set between Relics of the Old Republic and Always Two There Are

I hope this helps. Our publishing schedule got a bit messed up so that's why the latter stories are out of sequence. Also not we didn't actually start placing stories between episodes right away. That came a little bit later and we had no knowledge of what was happening in the upcoming episodes at the time.

Thanks,
Martin

So apparently the final two episodes of the season for Star Wars - Rebels Season 2 will be called "Twilight of the Apprentice, Parts I-II".

That doesn't bode well for a certain former Padawan from The Clone Wars...

I read the title and was thinking Ezra. I guess I don't really see Ashoka as an apprentice anymore. She's definitely going to die though and we will all cry because we've spent the last eight years with Snips. Even though we hated her when she first appeared she grew on us and we love her now. The writers are heartless bastards, everyone of them. Creating something just to take it away in the most heart wrenching way possible.

I doubt its Ezra, especially since we know Vader and Ahsoka will be squaring off per the Season 2 trailer for the second half of the season.

Twilight refers to night AKA a dark time. The trailer shows Maul about to train Ezra. Just saying.

Thanks, I totally had absolutely no clue what "twilight" meant. I thought Stephanie Meyers totally came up with that word. Thanks for educating me.

You're welcome, I would have figured you'd known it Meyers didn't come up with it, but I guess I was wrong
