Here, we dive into every Star Wars movie, television show, and upcoming Disney+ project you need to be aware of as a Star Wars fan in this exciting new era of the franchise.
Timeline For the Star Wars Universe on Disney Plus
The Star Wars universe on Disney+ follows the BBY (After the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (After the Battle of Yavin) structure that has long been used within the Star Wars galaxy. Although Lucasfilm has quietly tried to shift away from the ABY and BBY model, this is still the most common way to date events in the Star Wars universe.

For example, George Lucas’s original Star Wars film, now known as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977), takes place in 0 ABY, when the Battle of Yavin occurred.

The current Star Wars timeline [above], which was introduced in Justina Ireland’s Star Wars The High Republic novel, “A Test of Courage”, has six official eras, each of which includes various Star Wars movies and series.
These eras are The High Republic, Fall of the Jedi (The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Clone Wars, Revenge of the Sith), Reign of the Empire (The Bad Batch, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Age of Rebellion (Rebels, Rogue: A Star Wars Story, A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi), The New Republic (The Mandalorian), and Rise of the First Order (Resistance, The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker)
It is worth noting that, as the franchise expands and new works, such as Patty Jenkins’s Star Wars: Rogue Squadron (2023) and Taika Waititi’s Star Wars film, are released, they will likely be added to this timeline.

The Acolyte (release year unknown)
We already knew that Leslye Headland’s (Russian Doll) highly-anticipated female-centric Star Wars series would focus on a largely “unexplored” era in the Star Wars timeline. Now, we have confirmation that it will take place at the end of The High Republic era, and could potentially feature the rise of Darth Plagueis — Sheev Palpatine’s mentor and murder victim.
The High Republic multimedia initiative is set to include this live-action Disney+ series, a publishing project, and, perhaps, the rumored animated series as well.
The official Tweet about The Acolyte Star Wars show reads:
Leslye Headland brings a new @StarWars series to @DisneyPlus with The Acolyte. “The Acolyte” is a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era.
