The Essential Chronology

Cover © 2000 Lucasfilm & Del Rey

„After the fall of the Empire, many archives were opened and hidden information came to the attention of scholars across the galaxy. We are at a crux point in history . . . Citizens of the New Republic must know their history–a rich and glorious tradition, [with] many dark mistakes. We must learn from both.“
–New Republic Historical Council

The story is one that began many thousands of years before the birth of Luke Skywalker . . . or Anakin Skywalker . . . or even Obi-Wan Kenobi. It spans galaxies, encompasses kingdoms and powerful dynasties, chronicles wars, and charts the rise and fall of individuals who changed the course of their times. Now, at last, the many strands of this extraordinary saga are drawn together–from the original movies, from the novels, from every verifiable source–and tied together in one, comprehensive volume.
