Centuries before the Clone Wars, the Rule of Two is revealed to the Jedi Order, though still they presume the Sith's eradication and believe that Bane's plan is ruined with his defeat[88] allegedly at the hands of his apprentice, Darth Zannah, in a duel on the Inner Rim planet Ambria.

Tracing the Hutt craft's origin to the Sedri system, Sskeer and Ceret take a T-1 shuttle to Sedri Minor. Avar Kriss and Vernestra Rwoh take the Ataraxia to join Trennis aboard the Hutt craft.[164]
- On Sedri Minor, Ceret is captured by the Drengir, and Kriss, Terec, Trennis—traveling aboard the Ataraxia—join Sskeer on the moon. Ceret yields to the powerful shadow cast by the Drengir and joins their collective mind. Sharing the same mind with Ceret, Terec also succumbs to the Drengir's influence and becomes crazed. While Kriss and Trennis confront the Drengir at their underground dwelling, Sskeer dispairs that he could not help Terec, who was uncontrollable and inconsolable.[171]
- While Avar Kriss and Keeve Trennis free Ceret as well as a local boy from the Drengir, they are surrounded by more Drengir, who are accompanied by Sskeer.

- Thrawn agrees to handle a gralloc problem for Krennic's Project Stardust in return for the continuation of funding for the TIE Defender program. While handling the gralloc infestation, Thrawn and the Chimaera traces a missing freighter to find that it had been raided by the Grysks. While battling a Grysk warship at the scene, the Chimaera is joined by Chiss Ascendancy forces led by Admiral Ar'alani. Thrawn reunites with the Chiss as well as Eli Vanto.[658]
- From the remains of the battle, Thrawn finds Un'hee, a Chiss girl who was kidnapped by the Grysk for her Force-sensitivity and was forced to serve as a navigator. Eli Vanto finds that many of the missing Imperial transports carried foodstuff which is used to feed Wookiee prisoners working on Project Stardust.

Parting ways with Tano, Bridger returns from the mystical realm and rejoins the Spectres.[621]
- Ronan gives an unfavorable report of Thrawn to Governor Tarkin, and Project Stardust becomes the sole recipient of funding over the TIE Defender program until Stardust is completed. Before such point, Vader is assigned to protect Stardust. Having received news that the situation on Lothal is "critical," Thrawn returns to the world with the escort of Captain Pellaeon aboard the Harbinger. Before leaving for Lothal, Thrawn takes the gamble of convincing Ronan to travel with Ar'alani back to the Chiss Ascendancy despite Ar'alani's warning that growing chaos amongst the Chiss threatened civil war. Thrawn also recommends Commander Faro to take command the Eleventh Fleet.[658]
- With Thrawn's loyalty to the Empire in serious doubt, the Emperor orders him to return for a long talk after handling the rebellion on Lothal.

- Leia Organa sends Han Solo and Chewbacca to extract Ematt.[2]

- A few years before Operation Yellow Moon[680]
- Chewbacca accidentally crashes his A-wing on Andelm IV, a world taken over by the gangster Jaum, who forces his workers to mass-produce dedlanite to secretly supply the Empire's war machine for profit. The Wookiee Chewbacca is persuaded by a local girl named Zarro to free Andelm IV from slavery.[678]
- Recalling his experience of being enslaved by Trandoshan hunters alongside other Wookiees,[681] Chewbacca frees the enslaved miners on Andelm IV.[682]
- While Chewbacca and Zarro are captured by Imperials, the latter are misled into thinking that Jaum is a member of the Rebellion and no longer desire to expand their reach to Andelm IV. After making their escape, Chewbacca and Zarro part ways on Andelm IV, though not before the Wookiee gives Zarro the medal he himself earned at the Battle of Yavin.[683]
- With his A-wing repaired, Chewbacca proceeds to Kashyyyk to return the bandolier of a fallen Wookiee before leaving with the Millennium Falcon.[683]

- Han Solo and Chewbacca take a step back from the rebel cause and return to smuggling. However, when given an offer too good to refuse by Leia Organa, Solo agrees to rescue[30] Alliance intelligence chief Airen Cracken's rebel spies—a network of informants assembled in the span of years with only one objective who, after completing that objective one month ago, began to be murdered by a traitor.[684]
- For the mission, Solo is to rescue the spies and capture the traitor while under the guise of competing in the Dragon Void race with the Millennium Falcon. With all of the spies aboard the Falcon, Solo competes in the race, though it is attacked by Imperial forces. Nevertheless, the Falcon perseveres, and its rebel crew discover the mole amongst them and detain the brainwashed traitor. While he could have gone through the race's endpoint—a gate that created a wormhole leading to the race's starting point—Solo instead allows Loo Re Anno, the last of her kind, to return home using the gate, which was created by Anno's kind for their exodus from the wider galaxy.[30]
- Returning Han Solo's favor, Anno leads her people from between the seams of time and space to attack the Imperials pursuing the Dragon Void racers, allowing the latter to escape. Anno's people intends their return to be the last; before they leave the world forever.[30]
- Having accomplished his mission, Solo returns to the Rebellion and realizes that he could not lie to himself and deny reality any longer; that he had to decide who he really is and what is worth living for. Han Solo thus chooses to remain with the Rebellion, reconciling his friendship with Leia Organa and renewing the spark of romance between them.[30]

- The Falcon arrives at a battle at Rendezvous Point Delta-Three. The new arrivals aide in the rebels' escape from Imperial forces led by Ellian Zahra,[751] who was reassigned by Darth Vader and the Emperor from a non-essential post at the spice mines of Kessel to hunt down remnants of the Rebellion.[752] Following the incident, Commander Zahra received explicit instructions from Lord Vader: Luke Skywalker was not to be harmed.[751]
- After taking a fork-nosed ice worm fossil from Imperial forces on Hoth to sell to the Shadow University through Sava Estat, Chelli Lona Aphra embarks on a job to find the Rings of Vaale, which allegedly grants eternal fortune, immortality, and abilities to rival the most powerful Force user when used together. Doctor Aphra, archaeology student Detta Yao, the bounty hunter Black Krrsantan, and the mercenary "Just Lucky" pursue the rings against Ronen Tagge, scion of the Empire's aristocratic Tagge family. After losing years of research to Tagge at the Ruins of Kolkur, Professor Eustacia Okka and her droid, TA-418, who had done research on the rings, join Aphra aboard the Ark Angel III,[753] traveling to Vaale, Dianth, the home of the The Architects of Vaale who made the rings. They discover murals of High Republic iconography warning that when used independently, one ring would grant eternal life at the cost of the user's madness, while another would grant fortune at the cost of hastening the user's eventual demise.[754]
- With the assistance of Just Lucky, Tagge's mercenaries trace Aphra's crew to Vaale, taking the Ring of Fortune before destroying the city of living bone with Aphra and her crew captured.[755] Aphra's crew is taken to Ronen Tagge's Private Penthouse in Canto Bight, where they defeat Ronen, who was wearing the two rings, and escape from after stealing several priceless artifacts.[756]
- Nakano Lash resurfaces near Kessel.[757] Having been informed by Aphra and Black Krrsantan on Burnin Konn that she has resurfaced, Bossk races to find Lash. The latter is also sought by her former protégé, Beilert Valance, as well as Boba Fett, who deviated from delivering Han Solo in carbonite to settle a personal score with Lash. Lash had torn apart the group of hunters years ago on Corellia, when she killed their client and the sole heir of the Mourner's Wail Syndicate, Khamus, as well as causing the death of Krynthia, the sole heir of the Unbroken Clan, instigating a continuation of violence between the two groups, which formed the three crime syndicates of Corellia with the addition of Lady Proxima's White Worms.[758]
- Leaving her lover, Losha, and her peaceful life on the Moon of Logal Ri behind, T'onga pursues Lash to avenge the death of her brother, T'ongor, while Thisspiasian hunter Ooris Bynar pursues Lash with the help of the bondsman Syphacc.[757]

- While the Liberty and Corona Squadron, previously at Rendezvous Point Delta-Three, did not join the rebels at Backup Rendezvous Point Gamma-Nine. Instead, Corona Squadron undertake a series of reconnaissance missions for the Rebellion, charting the planet D'Qar shortly before the Battle of Endor.[307] D'Qar would house only a small Alliance outpost during the Galactic Civil War before becoming the base of the Resistance decades later.[14]
- Luke Skywalker seeks and fails to find his lost lightsaber, whilst Leia Organa, in her resolve to rescue Han Solo, infiltrates and is captured by the local Imperial garrison in her quest to learn more of the carbon-freezing mechanism. Meanwhile, Lando Calrissian finds his friend Lobot and sabotages the surrounding area of refined tibanna.[760]

- Luke Skywalker parts ways with the crew of the Millennium Falcon. With R2-D2, he travels to the planet he envisioned earlier in search of a woman, whom Skywalker also witnessed in his vision, for help in his Jedi future and the fate of the Rebellion.[761]
- Skywalker meets Verla, a former disciple the Jedi Ferren Barr who rejected the Jedi, the Sith, and the Force in order to live her life. On Luke Skywalker's promise that he would not disturb her again be it the will of the Force, Verla gives the aspiring Jedi the location of a yellow-bladed lightsaber for him to claim for the extinct Jedi Order. After a duel of wills against the phantom Grand Inquisitor, who found himself tied to a fate worse than death as he is bound by Darth Vader to the mortal realm despite dying years ago over Mustafar, Skywalker asserts his understanding that the Jedi believed in self-sacrifice; compassion—dying for a greater cause.[762]
- Darth Vader and ZED-6-7 trail a transmitter from Padmé Amidala's apartment and travel to Vendaxa[748] after being led to a false finding of Luke Skywalker.[761] On Vendaxa, the pair encounter a group[748] of Amidalans—individuals seeking to avenge the mysterious death of Padmé Amidala[763]— being attacked by native fauna whilst investigating the cause of Amidala's death.[748]
- Darth Vader and his droid finds the group's sole survivor: Sabé, a handmaiden of the late Padmé Amidala. Sabé's group intent on avenging Amidala's death, Vader tells the handmaiden that he as well sought revenge on those who hid the cause of Amidala's death, and Sabé joins Vader and leads him to Naboo, where she had hidden the security recordings taken from Amidala's apartment.[748]
- Now on a hunt for the truth of Padmé Amidala's death, Darth Vader comes across Sabé's associates, former Royal Naboo Security Forces guards of Amidala Captains Gregar Typho and Tonra, who long suspected the senator was murdered after leaving for Mustafar during the last moments of the Clone Wars. With their presumption that Darth Vader had killed Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker confirmed by the Sith Lord himself, Sabé's group ambush him, though their confrontation is interrupted by an[764] elder sando aqua monster.[75][763]
- Darth Vader slays the sando aqua monster after fleeing with ZED-6-7, thereby increasing the species' chances of extinction within a century to eighty-three percent. Vader then leads his death trooper unit to battle the Amidalans, who guarded the tomb of Padmé Amidala under the leadership of Ric Olié. With memories of the group's leader teaching Anakin Skywalker to operate Amidala's Royal Naboo Starship surfacing, Vader spares Olié and proceeds to Amidala's tomb, although he is stopped by Sabé and other handmaidens of the former Naboo Queen and senator. Unable to kill them, he immobilizes Padmé Amidala's bodyguards and enters her tomb.[763]
- Darth Vader and ZED-6-7 trace a med implant at Amidala's tomb to Polis Massa, which had been attacked and abandoned by this point. Vader and his droid are followed and attacked by the Amidalans, who are defeated. Finding a holorecording of his wife's death at the maternity ward, Vader destroys ZED-6-7 in his rage before wallowing in grief, hearing his lover's last words that there is still good in Anakin Skywalker as he returns to the Imperial Palace on Coruscant, where he submits to the Emperor.[765]

- Ooris Bynar is killed by Nakano Lash after tracing the latter to Ruusan, and Bossk is left on the graveyard world of Galmerah by Boba Fett. Valance and T'onga reach Lash, who reveals that she only killed Khamus because they were sent to murder a pregnant Krynthia. Lash further reveals that she had been raising Khamus and Krynthia's child, Cadeliah, in the hope that she would unite the two warring syndicates as their joint heir.[767]
- While T'onga's lets go of her desire for vengeance, she is mortally wounded by Boba Fett, who fulfills his desire to arrange Lash's death by leaving her on her starship, which is destroyed by Vukorah of the Unbroken Clan. Fett escapes aboard the Slave I, and Valance vows to protect Cadeliah as per Lash's dying wish, taking his ship, the Broken Wing, alongside Cadeliah.[768]
- Vukorah finishes purging those loyal to the old line of the Unbroken Clan and hires Zuckuss and 4-LOM to hunt down Valance and Cadeliah to secure her own place as leader of the clan.[769]

- Aphra enlists the help of Sana Starros to gain an audience with Lady Proxima at the Den of the White Worms on Corellia, who directs them to the Unbroken Clan. After clan leader Vukorah finished interrogating Remy, Aphra and Starros steal a datapad containing a transcript of Remy's interrogation, following a lead to[770] an ancient battlefield on Dol'har Hyde. There, Aphra and Starros are attacked by Vukorah and the Unbroken Clan.[772]
- Working alongside "Just Lucky" in Canto Bight, Ariole Yu offers to let Koz go if the latter pays his debt to Wen Delphis, leader of the Sixth Kin, although Kin enforcers are ambushed by traitors.[773] With treason apparent amongst the ranks of the Kin, Wen Delphis sends "Just Lucky" and Ariole Yu to eliminate the alleged traitor Gallin Crae and his contact off-world.[774]
- Emperor Palpatine instructs Domina Tagge to capture Beol De'Rruyet's Nihil Path engine replica.[773] Aided by Lapin Tagge, Domina Tagge discovers that slicers had stolen confidential data from TaggeCo as well as its competitors.[774]
- For wallowing in grief, Vader is deposited by Darth Sidious to the black sands of Mustafar, on the spot where the Sith apprentice was immolated decades prior. To turn Vader's anger back into fear and the fear into pain, Sidious sends Ochi of Bestoon, assassin of the Sith, as a reminder.[775]
- The Eye of Webbish Bog calls out to Vader, reminding the cyborg of his inner conflicts between his personal desire for power, his current servitude to the Sith and destined servitude to the Force, and his personal needs for family. After receiving a wayfinder to Exegol from the Eye,[776] Vader defeats Ochi's droid army and departs Mustafar holding Ochi captive in an escape pod retrofitted onto his green Jedi starfighter.[777]
- Darth Vader and Ochi reach the vicinity of Exegol,[777] where they fly through an Imperial blockade led by Administrator Sly Moore as well as a creature of a summa-verminoth sub-species. After receiving a vision of his son, Luke Skywalker, striking him down and taking his place at the Emperor's side, Vader makes a forbidden use of the Force to subdue the beast, thereby violating his master's command. Through fear of the Emperor's plans, Vader had become angered and was fueled by hatred, leading to a demonstration of power whereby the cyborg gained control over the beast and rode it to Exegol's Sith Citadel.[778]
- Vader confronts his master but is subdued by pain. Vader's beast lies dead, and Ochi loses his eyes; overwhelmed by the power of the Emperor, Vader chooses to yield to his Master. Vader, the Emperor, Ochi, Sly Moore, and Mas Amedda then leave Exegol—leaving its Sith cultists, minions, experiments, and a growing fleet of planet-destroying Star Destroyers.[779] Dathan escapes from Exegol by hiding in Vader's shuttle.[780]

Consisting of Wedge Antilles, Freyta Smyth, L'ulo L'ampar, Shara Bey, Evaan Verlaine, and Mart Mattin, it attempts to contact other rebel groups and establish new secret communications through the codes provided by the Autonomous Translator Module, Mark II linguistics droid, which is kept operational by Lobot.[782]
- Starlight Squadron finds the ruins of the Sixth Division instead and is ambushed by Imperial probe droids. Amidst the chaos, Lobot begins to die in his efforts to keep the rebels' linguistics droid operational. While Lando Calrissian remains adamant in telling Lobot to cease maintaining the droid, Kes Dameron, fearing for his love, Shara Bey, demands Calrissian to let Lobot die in exchange so that Bey may be saved.[782]
- Calrissian is detained by order of Leia Organa. After secretly learning its language, C-3PO deactivates the Rebellion's linguistics droid in its refusal to yield its self-interest to save Lobot. With command of the droid's language, communications are reestablished with Starlight Squadron, which escapes from Zahra and her flagship, Tarkin's Will, by exploiting the Empire's disregard for its own droids.[783]
- However, Shara Bey, Starlight's commanding officer, is captured by Zahra's forces. While a despaired Kes Dameron is counseled by Leia Organa, Lando Calrissian is reunited with Lobot and, seeing that the Rebellion would not care for them, offers to pay off his debt to Jabba the Hutt by stealing the deactivated linguistics droid and its embedded rebel codes.[783]

- Valance and Cadeliah flee to meet Valance's lover, Yuralla Vega, at a rebel outpost on Lowik.[769] Valance leaves Cadeliah in the care of Yuralla Vega as Zuckuss and 4-LOM attack the Lowik rebels,[784] who are separated from Rebel Command as the Empire had broken the rebel security codes. While Valance distracts the hunters by visiting random ports throughout the galaxy, the Lowik rebels evacuate before the Empire's arrival, though they ask Valance to save a lone transport that was lost in the process. Valance does so to settle his debt to Han Solo, but is shot down by the Ohnaka Gang, which is led by Skragg, advised by a captive Dengar,[785] and in pursuit of the locations of the rebel armada.[750]

Behind the scenes[]
- "[W]e're exploring a lot of different storylines. This really spawns from what George Lucas said years ago, that he created Star Wars to move forward and backward along a mythological timeline."
- ―Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy
Star Wars creator George Lucas had intended the fictional universe to be a mythology, with stories taking place throughout a timeline.[1040] Since 2014, Lucasfilm has been creatively aligning all storytelling in the current canon, aiming to keep all content consistent and interconnected in all aspects. Some content draw inspiration from the Expanded Universe that is now branded as a separate continuity—Star Wars Legends[1041]—which has its own timeline of galactic history on Wookieepedia, an unaffiliated online Star Wars encyclopedia maintained by volunteers.
Lucasfilm's Star Wars eras for the current canon continuity comprise of "Dawn of the Jedi," "The Old Republic," "The High Republic," "Fall of the Jedi," "Reign of the Empire," "Age of Rebellion," "The New Republic," "Rise of the First Order," and "New Jedi Order."[1042]
