In this quickie intro episode to The Star Wars Canon Timeline Podcast, you’ll learn not only what all those words mean (in the context of Star Wars), but also how this podcast works – how this experiment in creating a chronological timeline amidst a chaotic release order will unfold, and what to expect from the journey.

I break down the 9 eras of Star Wars history we’re covering – starting thousands of years in the past, through weekly releases of the upcoming series The Acolyte – as well as what kinds of guests to expect, essential Star Wars timeline lingo, and how this podcast is designed for both old fans and fresh faces who are Star Wars-curious.

This Is the Way.

Elysia and DeadeyeJediBob begin our journey through the Star Wars timeline at the beginning – the very, very beginning. We zip from the creation and formation of that galaxy far, far away through eons of history, highlighting key terms and ideas that will come back again and again throughout the Star Wars story.

First we break down what's confirmed in Canon, and what we know about the upcoming Dawn of the Jedi movie, and then we turn our eyes to iconic characters and concepts from Legends that we hope might make the leap to the new Canon timeline.

In this flashback episode (backdated to fit into the right moment on the timeline), Elysia talks listeners through two ancient myths of the planet Batuu – considered Canon – from a difficult-to-find special edition story collection.

She is then joined by DeadeyeJediBob to discuss potential updates on the Dawn of the Jedi movie – or should be now say Jedi Prime – and talk through their first batch of feedback about the first era of Star Wars history.

Finally, Elysia wraps it up with a mini-dive into the nature of the Force itself, with quotes from Canon and Legends media.

DeadeyeJediBob joins Elysia to sort Canon from Legends in the era of the Old Republic – one of the coolest and most fantastical eras of Star Wars lore, dominated by the Jedi-Sith Civil Wars, the Mandalorians, and other intriguing groups of Force users and non-Force users.

Join us as we talk Darth Bane and the Rule of Two, Force witches, and failed Wookie impressions while covering 24,000 years of Star Wars history.

Published by The Lorehounds

Elysia is joined by professional animator Hjalti and Sith aficionado Marcin to talk through 3 episodes of the global animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions that – if they were Canon – would be set in the Old Republic, starting in the height of the Jedi-Sith Civil War, and ending after the Rule of Two.

All from season 2, in chronological order: episode 5 – "Journey to the Dark Head," episode 1 – "Sith," and episode 2 – "Screecher's Reach."

We talk about the unique art styles, the Sith (and Star Wars) philosophies being explored, and cool new uses of the Force that we hope make it to Canon, shouting out design and other Easter eggs along the way.

Elysia wanders off the Canon path, this time with the help of Marcin, to talk about one of the most important and beloved series in the history of Star Wars games: The Knights of the Old Republic, The Knights of Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and The Old Republic MMO.

We summarize the plots (full spoilers), the gameplay, and what makes these games so special – plus the lore that already has or probably will make the leap to Canon status. There's even bonus talk about the evolution of Star Wars gaming since the '90s, and previews of gaming coverage to come.

This is an episode for both deep fans of the games and people who never play games at all.

Fantasy literature and history scholar Marilyn R. Pukkila joins Elysia to discuss Canon stories set during the Old Republic that might be more true than factual.

After they establish what the different words for stories – legends, myths, fairytales, fables, etc. – actually mean, they recap one Star Wars flood myth (00:27:40) and two stories about the legendary Sith Lord Darth Caldoth (01:01:44), getting into the physiology of key Star Wars species, from the Twi'lek to the Shistavanen (which you'll want to be familiar with before watching Skeleton Crew), and key Sith rituals. Plus, Nightsisters!

Stories covered in this episode: (from Star Wars Myths & Fables) "Vengeful Waves" & "Gaze of Stone," and (from Star Wars: Dark Legends) "The Gilded Cage"
