The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Legends Clone Wars Supplement 1 THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD The Old Republic. The Galactic Empire. The New Republic. What might have been. Every legend has its historian. By Nathan P. Butler - Gold Release Number 56 – 85th SWT Release - 08/11/18 ___________________________ starwarsfanworks.com/timeline _facebook.com/swtimelinegold __________________________________ LEGENDS CLONE WARS SUPPLEMENT “The chronology of the Clone Wars is confusing.” --Luke Skywalker Dedicated to all of the fellow Star Wars fans who remain frustrated with the lack of clarity in how the pre-2008 and post-2008 versions of the Clone Wars in the Star Wars: Legends continuity are meant to fit together, if at all -----|----- -Fellow Star Wars fans- The document you are reading was born out of necessity. After the release of Attack of the Clones in 2002, Lucasfilm’s various fictional licensees, including Del Rey, LucasArts, Dark Horse Comics, and others, produced a stunningly detailed three-year saga of the Clone Wars that brought us directly up to the opening of Revenge of the Sith in theaters in 2005. It became one of the most well-orchestrated periods in all of Star Wars: Legends publishing. 2008 changed all of that, then 2014 shifted things yet again. The Clone Wars materials that were produced from 2002 – 2008 were part of the “Official Continuity” (now Legends Continuity) of C-Canon that was meant to expand upon the G-Canon films. When The Clone Wars launched as a multimedia project in 2008, centered around a new film and television series with the direct involvement of George Lucas, the era of the Clone Wars was thrown into disarray by a new level of canonicity, T-Canon, and numerous new assertions.

The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Appendices 1
The Star Wars Timeline Gold: Appendices 1 THE STAR WARS TIMELINE GOLD The Old Republic. The Galactic Empire. The New Republic. What might have been. Every legend has its historian. By Nathan P. Butler - Gold Release Number 49 - 78th SWT Release - 07/20/11 _________________________________________ Officially hosted on Nathan P. Butler’s website __at http://www.starwarsfanworks.com/timeline ____________ APPENDICES ―Look at the size of that thing!‖ --Wedge Antilles Dedicated to All the loyal SWT readers who have helped keep the project alive since 1997. -----|----- -Fellow Star Wars fans- Now that you‘ve spent time exploring the Star Wars Timeline Gold‘s primary document and its Clone Wars Supplement, you‘re probably curious as to what other ―goodies‖ the project has in store. Here, you‘ll find the answer to that query. This file, the Appendices, features numerous small sections, featuring topics ranging from G-Canon, T-Canon, and Apocryphal (N-Canon) timelines, a release timeline for ―real world‖ Star Wars materials, information relating to the Star Wars Timeline Project‘s growth, and more. This was the fourth file created for the Star Wars Timeline Gold. The project originally began as the primary document with the Official Continuity Timeline, then later spawned a Fan Fiction Supplement (now discontinued) and an Apocrypha Supplement (now merged into this file). The Appendices came next, but with its wide array of different features, it has survived to stand on its own alongside the primary document and continues to do so alongside the newer Clone Wars Supplement. I hope you find your time spent reading through it well spent.

Star Wars Legends Timeline
STAR WARS LEGENDS TIMELINE www.swbooks.net/legends Introduction: Ever since Marvel Comics and the LA Times published their continuing adventures of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, C-3P0, R2-D2 and Darth Vader in a galaxy far, far away hundreds of writers and artists expanded the original galaxy created by George Lucas. And it wasn’t just new stories there were new characters, new planets, new vehicles, new weapons and new technologies. By 2014 there were over 700 published novels, comics and short stories. This was truly an “Expanded Universe”. However in April 2014, with the knowledge that the new Sequel Trilogy was not beholden to events created in the Expanded Universe, Lucasfilm announced that, going forward, everything in the Star Wars Expanded Universe would be rebranded Star Wars Legends and a new canonical universe would be created. This meant that events within a Legends story may or may not have happened. Contents: Notes regarding this timeline 2 Legends from Before the Republic 4 Legends from The Old Republic 5 Legends from Rise of the Empire 8 Legends from The Clone Wars 12 Legends from The Dark Times 16 Legends from The Rebellion 19 Legends from The New Republic 25 Legends from The New Jedi Order 29 Legends from Legacy of the Force 31 1 Notes regarding this timeline: 1. This timeline consists of all stories now categorised as "Legends", that is material previously known as "Expanded Universe" (or EU). For full details of "Star Wars Legends" visit www.swbooks.net/legends 2. This timeline does not include material from the Story Group universe except for the novelizations of Episodes I thru VI and The Clone Wars film as the events of these films are the catalysts for many of the Legends stories.
