The moment you realize Star Wars does great with the shared universe concept telling stories across all forms of media.

Always feels like with each passing year it gets more and more challenging to add and make a new one. Just look at all the new stuff we got in mid 2022-mid 2023 alone. The one next year is gonna be a whooper for sure.

Not only is this an amazing feat of hard work and dedication, but also a great video for the star wars fandom. As someone who doesnt have time to read the comics anymore, its great to use this as a quick summary!

Easily my favorite tradition. Breakfast and watching this.

I'm a pretty casual SW fan so really thankful for this video! Lots of lore I didn't know I needed.

Don't think I'll be able to watch until I finish Jedi: Survior, Battle Scars, The Battle of Jedha, Cataclysm and Path of Vengeance just in case of "spoilers" but I can't wait man, thanks for everything and MTFBWY!

Lucasfilm would be nuts not to hire you to be in the SW Story Team. Brilliant work, as always.

I spent the last year catching up on star wars audiobooks i never read or thought i would read, im so ready for this vid 😎

Happy Star Wars Day everyone! Always looks forward to this timeline every year. Another fantastic job Alex! 🎉

My favorite part of Star Wars Day!

You should do a video like this for the Legends timeline, going into more depth than the previous one.

Thanks!! Lots of effort clearly goes into these. I wonder if anyone is getting the impression that parts of the timeline are being pushed back further in time, for example, the Jedi-Sith split taking place closer to 25,000 BBY rather than 5,000 BBY.

Thank you guys for taking the time to update this each year. It's such a help when I don't have time to get every single story that rolls out. Especially with the release schedule of the High Republic. Y'all are awesome!

Wow this video is so well done! I'm impressed at how cool the graphics are and how comprised the information is. Truly amazing work. Thank you! ✨️

Thank you so much for this! It's always hard to keep updated about books and comics, and your timeline always saves the day!!

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Alex, I'm so amazed! I look forward to these every May 4th and you never disappoint. Seeing everything together in one presentation makes the entire canon feel even more cohesive and rich. You and Mollie do amazing work year-round and I love that I get to watch all of it. Bravo! You deserve to be proud of all of this. Keep up the great work and I'll love watching every bit of it. MTFBWY.

I can tell you worked real hard on this. Thank you

These timeline videos are totally worth the subscription alone! You rock for doing this, thank you so much!

Awesome video, I look forward to it every year. I know you mention at the end that "Some of what you say is out of order?" but I just wanted to bring up that you say Dooku kidnapps Kix before the Bad Batch arc of The Clone Wars, where he makes an appearance.

This video is seriously one of the highlights of my year. I look forward to it every year on may 4th and I loved every second of it! Star Wars Explained, you are awesome and keep up the absolutely amazing work! May the Force be with you!!

14:50 Thanks for mentioning ma boi Uttersond here. He truly is one of my favourite Star Wars-characters and I'm so happy to know, that he was a part of the key-elements of the galactic history.

Just wanted to point out 2:48 in canon, the planet Moraband was known as Korriban when the Sith first colonized it. It was renamed to Moraband later in the timeline albeit at an unknown date. Because the only canon source that mentions the Legends name is a TTRPG guide it's not a super important detail, but I think it's worth mentioning that canon settled the Korriban vs Moraband argument.

Thank you so much for putting these videos together each year. I used to be extremely active with following Star Wars content on YT, but ever since the online SW community/discourse devolved into a toxic hellscape in the wake of The Last Jedi, I haven't been able to muster the emotional energy to keep up with the community (or even the lore) since. These annual vids have become my main method of checking in on what's going on each year. It reminds me that somewhere deep within me, I do still care about this stuff.

This will be insanely huge! I wonder if Jedi: Survivor will be included, since it only came out recently.

You're gonna have to split these canon timeline videos into multiple parts eventually.

May the 4th be with you, and thank you as always for your continued hard work explaining Star Wars canon to the masses. As someone who tried to indulge on all the new canon and quickly got overwhelmed, this video was extremely helpful. Especially regarding the high republic era, an era of storytelling I have yet to truly explore outside of random Wookiepedia pages. You and Molly are both so wizard!

Thank You for posting this every year! I love the context it gives to the movies & shows. Especially the sequel trilogy!

Great job and much appreciated! And to be honest, I enjoy this video resource more than the Timelines book. You provide much more detail (Dathan being a Palpatine clone for instance) than the book provides. The Star Wars community is lucky to have someone like you to do this stuff. Keep up the GREAT work!

I love these timeline videos so much. I’d super love era by era ones, but i know they’re such an immense amount of work so I won’t get greedy. These are some of my go to background/soothing/sleepy time content, so good.

I will never understand Star Wars lore, but goddamnit I'll try.

Best part of May 4th comes around again

EXCELLENT work Alex! I know this video has been a real drain on you with so much star wars going on, you did great!

I found your channel through past canon timeline video and I am so happy that you continue to make them every year

I look forward to your update every year. Excellent job once again

These annual timelines are always fantastic! I'm always looking forward to it and get an concise update on what I've been missing the past year. It's amazing how strong the numerous stories in the SW universe connect and how they ultimately tell a large story and have become a true modern body of myths. And this timeline is the best of its kind: great flow, covers everything important but not bogged down.

Every May 4th I look forward to these. I try my best to keep up with all the new stuff coming out but life happens. so even if the video has spoilers I still look forward to experiencing the stories (particularly the books). Thanks Alex and Mollie.

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks man for the work you put into doing this one! I like how I can go back and use this as a reference to any stories connected to the timeline.

Wow... just wow. Thanks Alex for this amazing video and your hard work. Have not watched it yet but will do so, once home. I saw the previous ones.

Alex, thank you for making these fantastic timeline videos every year.

I’ve been looking forward to this.

Amazing video like every year. 🎉 It's obvious that you can't mention every single comic or tv episode, but every year you surprise me again with how well you summarize everything. I also love to see how you've already incorporated the fact that 0 BBY isn't a full year anymore but just some days now.

FANTASTIC WORK, ALEX!! CONGRATULATIONS, THANK YOU AND MAY THE FORCE AND YOUR ANNUAL CANON TIMELINES ALWAYS BE WITH YOU IN ORDER FOR US STAR WARS FANS DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THE LONGVIEW TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET IT. MAY THE 4TH BE WITH EVERYONE!!! ALEX DAMON ESPECIALLY!!!!!!!

If you can, add Yoda’s force journey from Season 6 - I think it adds a lot to the lore and it’s a great thematic companion to Yoda’s mountain rock arc in the comics

In a grand scale it’s like comparing a three generation family drama to all known history human civilizations.

Why is there not a Dr Aphra TV show. This story should be mainstream. Currently purchasing all comics.

I was looking for a complete star wars history when I remembered seeing that your channel commented on a Spiritbox video. Rock on man 🤘keep making solid content.

Thank you for doing this each year! It is great!

Absolutely phenomenal piece of work Alex, well done! Your commitment to doing this timeline as accurately as possible every year is really admirable, I don't envy you this task but I know you love it so it's all good! 😊 However, watching this timeline has made me realise that the sequels really missed a trick to develop a stronger story and that they basically copied the format of episodes 5 and 6!

this is awesome. but it would've been cool if the "old republic" line could've been a bit longer so the destruction of "the father son and daughter" would be in the middle, symbolizing that the time it took, up until this point, that many years you have left going forward, like a mirror.

Love your annual timeline and couldn't keep up without it - thank you :)

Hey brah, just want to give you guys a shout out and thank you for putting this content together. It's really appreciated.

I honestly don't get all the hate the new canon gets. Sure, I absolutely get the criticism of the sequels, but not why people hate canon in and of itself so much. I mean, canon gave us the later parts of TCW, Jedi: Fallen Order, the Bad Batch, the Vader comics, interesting lore like the world between worlds, etc.

The new canon is divisive. While there’s a lot of good stuff in the Disney canon. It can’t be understated that the bad in Disney Star Wars definitely to some degree has cast a shadow on the franchise.

I'm impressed ~ not just that you're able to keep it all organized but that you can explain it for over 90 minutes. My asthma would've done me in an hour ago LOL My only suggestion is moving the explanation of BBY & ABY to the beginning. And that's pretty minor.

Another great update to Star Wars Canon Timeline. I'm still glad they're continuing to tell stories across all forms of media.

Holy crap you guys did it. A feature-length canon timeline video. Well done.

I just wanna say, thanks a whole lot for this. I'm really digging deep into Star Wars-lore, but very often time and motivation lack to read all of the novels or play all the video-games. It's especially great for The High Republic Phase 2, which I really don't know anything about.

Also a KZread channel 'Star Wars Audio Comics' has uploaded more than 100 audiobooks of canon comics issues (with music and sound effects) and are regularly uploading more.

I just rewatched this video again, something I do several times a year although often as more of a background soundtrack while working on a project, or because im trying to verify a specific data set and then I just get sucked into the enjoyment of your very thorough but also perfectly-paced presentation of the Timeline. Today I was somewhat curious to see where the Canon timeline comes down on some of the ancient lore (as it pertains to characters like Exar Kun and Ulic Qel-Droma specifically) partially due to the imminent arrival of the Acolyte.. but also because of the arrival of May 4th. It's just after midnight on the east coast so technically it's Friday May 3rd where I am and I can't remember a year when May 4th meant quite as much to me as it does this year. I'm planning to see Phantom Menace, Tales of the Empire has me completely mesmerized, the Acoylte (in my opinion) holds some truly wonderful possibilities and surprises... I guess although there's always some doom and gloom within the Fandom, I haven't personally felt this excited for the future of Star Wars in many years. Not the way I felt before the prequels came out.. but maybe they way I was feeling after the Mandalorian arrived and once again it seemed like anything was possible! I can't wait to see your Canon update ...I will try to watch it this weekend honestly, or at least during next week. But even more, I can't wait to see what your Canon update holds for 2025. Thanks for all the hard work you put in every day to make star wars accessible and help it reach as wide an audience as possible. It really means a lot! May the Force Be With You
