The Old Republic has not been fully explored in Star Wars canon, but several stories and guides provide insight into this era in the timeline.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The official Star Wars canon continues to expand through every medium, but the Old Republic era is still the most massive gap in the timeline. Before the Expanded Universe was rebranded as "Legends," the Old Republic was one of the most popular aspects of the Star Wars franchise, with countless books, comics, and especially video games captivating fans between the film and TV releases.
14 The Old Republic Was Founded 25,000 Years Ago The first Galactic Republic, later known as the "Old Republic," was founded around 25,000 BBY. Alderaan and Chandrila were among its founding members, with the capital established on the city planet Coruscant as the Republic continued expanding into the wider galaxy. The Jedi Order soon became the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, pledging their loyalty to the Republic for over a thousand generations.
11 The Sith Were Born 5,000 Years Ago Another fracture in the Jedi Order came around 5,000 BBY when a rogue Jedi led a rebellion that resulted in the Hundred-Year Darkness. These dark Jedi became the Sith Order and were exiled to Korriban, later known as Moraband, where they constructed many temples and tombs. The Sith took many forms as they waged war against the Jedi and the Republic over the next 5,000 years, at one time ruling the entire galaxy.
8 The Jedi Won A War With Mandalore The Jedi and the Mandalorians were historical enemies, leading to a full-scale war that the Jedi Order won. The Mandalorians were a warrior race that launched crusades to gain more territory and waged war against the Old Republic. The final battle resulted in a cataclysm that scorched the planet's surface, leaving Mandalore uninhabitable outside dome cities.
5 Darth Bane Recreated The Sith And Set The Grand Plan In Motion Unknown to the Jedi, Darth Bane was the last surviving Sith Lord, but he had a new vision for the Sith. He recognized that greed and infighting had led to the Sith Order's downfall, so rather than build an army of Sith to wage another war, bane created the "Rule of Two." This meant there could only be two Sith at any time: a master to embody the power and an apprentice to crave it.
