The Star Wars Timeline in Chronological Story Order

13 June 2025

The Star Wars saga unfolds across multiple eras, jumping between prequels, sequels, spinoffs, and animated series. 

To help make sense of the galaxy’s complex timeline, this table organizes every major live-action film, animated series, and canonical television event in chronological order - based on in-universe events, not release dates.

From the fall of the Jedi in the Prequel Era to the rise of the Resistance in the Sequel Trilogy, and from obscure Ewok adventures to the silent war of Andor, this guide maps the galaxy's long, winding history in one unified timeline.

This chronological timeline offers more than just sequence. It reveals how the galaxy evolves. Watching Star Wars  in timeline order exposes the rise and fall of civilizations, the echoes of rebellion, and the cyclical nature of hope and oppression. Each era reshapes the meaning of the next, linking Jedi prophecy to stormtrooper blasters, Clone Wars trauma to Mandalorian armor, and silence in Andor to the final battle against the Sith.
