Star Wars: An Absurdly Non-Canon Timeline
Update Feb. 2, 2025: Wow, 5.2K views! Thanks to everyone for their interest. It's been a while since I've done an update - "Rise of Skywlalker" hadn't even been released before last time! I've now got a ton of new entries; we've gotten up over 100. If I've got the dates of anything wrong, please let me know!
Original post from 2018:
Just for fun, an attempt to list everything "Star Wars" (movies, TV shows, or video games) in chronological order, whether it's EU, New Canon, fan films, or parodies. I used Wookiepedia as my resource for the dates.
There's some stuff that I just couldn't date (such as the wonderful "Ryan vs. Dorkman" fan films, which are great lightsaber duels but clearly set on contemporary Earth, or "Forces of Destiny," which jump around too much in the timeline). There are others I didn't include because I couldn't find them on IMDB. And I didn't include the "Family Guy" specials 'cuz that's just how I feel about "Family Guy." :P
Happy reading!

- CreatorGeorge LucasStarsMat LucasJames Arnold TaylorAndré SogliuzzoThe events and battles of the Galactic Republic's last major war are recounted.22 BBY-19 BBY. Watch Vol. 1 of the DVD, then watch episode 21; that gets the characters to where they are at the beginning of the next series.
- DirectorKyle DunlevyStarsMatt LanterTom KaneDee Bradley BakerAnakin is tasked to fly a prototypical cloaked ship to get supplies to Bail Organa on Christophsis, but can't resist an urge to attack a blockade headed by the infamous Admiral Trench.22 BBY. For some reason, the episodes aired out of order. According to StarWars.com, this episode and the following one both take place before the movie.

- CreatorsJohn McCormackJake BlaisStarsMichael DonovanTrevor DevallBrian DobsonCentered around Yoda's stories that take place before ''Lego Star Wars: The Padawan Menace''. Yoda begins by training Padawans at the Jedi Temple Academy, but then he feels a disturbance in the Force and rushes off to fight the Dark Side.Prequel era. The LEGO Yoda stuff seems to all be during the Clone Wars. These episodes can probably be viewed anytime before the first five seasons, but I've placed them here because their lighter tone meshes better with early "Clone Wars" episodes.
- DirectorDavid ScottStarsAnthony DanielsNika FuttermanPhil LaMarrA young boy named Ian, Commander Cody, and Yoda must go to rescue secret battle plans. However, when substitute teacher C-3PO and a class of padawans go too, things become more complicated.Prequel era
- CreatorGeorge LucasStarsTom KaneDee Bradley BakerMatt LanterJedi Knights lead the Grand Army of the Republic against the droid army of the Separatists.22 BBY-19 BBY. Use the StarWars.com list or some other list (fans have some excellent variations out there), and go through the series from Season 1 to Season 7, stopping after episode 8 of that season: "Together Again."
- DirectorTim LongoStarsTemuera MorrisonAndrew ChaikinRaphael SbargeYou play a Republic clone commando who leads an elite strike team in the Clone Wars.22-19 BBY. Can be played any time during the "Clone Wars" series.
- DirectorsDave FiloniSaul RuizStarsTom KaneAshley EcksteinJulian HollowayAhsoka contacts Anakin and Obi-Wan, who must decide whether to help her pursue Maul on Mandalore or defend Coruscant.19 BBY. The next episode definitely takes place here, but there's a cliffhanger and it doesn't get resolved after the next two entries. So you may want until after "Revenge of the Sith" so you can just watch everything straight through, if you can deal with a little bit of a time jump back.
