![]() It’s unclear yet whether fans can expect any crossover with characters or stories from the comics to Mangold’s film. This era had been explored in Legends (i.e., the original, now non-canon Expanded Universe) comics also titled Dawn of the Jedi. While the High Republic era - when the Jedi thrived and were at their highest power - has been heavily explored in books and comics recently, the Dawn of the Jedi era occurs even earlier in a time when the Jedi and the Force first came to be. Mangold’s Dawn of the Jedi film is set well before the events of anything we’ve seen on screen, including the forthcoming series The Acolyte, which falls at the end of the High Republic era. What to Expect with the New Star Wars Timeline However, it still remains to be seen: What stories could potentially unfold in these new eras, and what does it mean for the future of the franchise? It’s an exciting pivot for Lucasfilm away from the Skywalker Saga that has been the primary focus of the franchise for the last 40 years. With Mangold’s film set during the Dawn of the Jedi and Obaid-Chinoy’s during the New Jedi Order, Star Wars has officially canonized two new eras. Marvel alum Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy will direct a film that heralds Daisy Ridley’s return as Rey. James Mangold, who already has a strong relationship with Lucasfilm thanks to his upcoming Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, will helm a new standalone movie set 25,000 years before the prequel films. Below, we break down the new eras of the Star Wars timeline and what they mean for the future of Star Wars stories. ![]() As a result, the official Star Wars timeline and canon has completely changed. ![]() Three new films were announced, two of which take place in parts of the Star Wars timeline we have yet to see represented on screen. ![]() Star Wars Celebration always brings exciting new announcements for fans across the galaxy, but this year saw news that could shake up the future of the canon as we know it. ![]()
