The Star Wars canon timeline has a massive catalog of stories across nine eras, but it is still unclear when the most significant gap will be filled.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The official Star Wars Canon timeline continues to expand rapidly, but a large storytelling gap has yet to be filled. Before Lucasfilm rebranded the Expanded Universe as Legends in 2014, the Star Wars timeline covered thousands of years with an enormous catalog of books, comics, and video games to fill in the gaps between stories.

The official eras of the Star Wars canon timeline were revealed at Star Wars Celebration 2023, as well as when the upcoming Star Wars movies will take place. James Mangold's Star Wars movie will take place in the "Dawn of the Jedi" era, a title previously used in the Legends timeline and set 25,000 years before A New Hope.

Star Wars' Timeline Highlights A Gap In The Old Republic Era "The Old Republic" is currently the most glaring unfilled portion of the Star Wars canon timeline. James Mangold's "Dawn of the Jedi" movie takes place around 25,000 BBY, and the earliest entry in "The High Republic" era is in 382 BBY. In the Legends timeline, "The Old Republic" era was 5,000 BBY to 1,000 BBY, meaning there are at least 4,000 years worth of stories to be told in canon.
