It's the never ending pissing match between the Jedi and Sith.

yeah but it eventually ends lol
Star Wars legends complete timeline:a never ending battle between sith and Jedi
THE END
Jedi youngling:master yoda what year is it
Yoda:25 years before the battle of yavin we are.
Youngling: wat
LOL
Jedi Youngling: Master Yoda why did you let us die?
Yoda: Will of the force it was.
Jedi Youngling: What?
Don’t you know that “youngling” is banned now? Apparently it’s too offensive due to the fact that Darth Vader murders them. Disney says “younglings” is a no no.
Aaron Kozel II Source?
@@GG_1318 that's not entirely true. It more applies to the Jedi training in Disney Land where the actors won't refer to the students as younglings.
EU fan: "Did you ever hear the tragedy of the Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU)?".
New fan: "No".
EU fan: "I thought not. It's not a story Disney will ever tell you. They're so-called Star Wars Legends. The Star Wars Expanded Universe (EU) was a collection of novels, comics, video games, animated series, the Star Wars Holiday Special, TV movies, radio dramas, roleplay games, reference books, magazine issues and HoloNet reports from 1976 until 2014 so beloved and well-respected it could use the existing lore of the Star Wars Universe to create new stories and characters. It had such a deep knowledge of the Star Wars Universe it could keep the fans it cared about from leaving the franchise".
New fan: "It could actually keep the fans it cared from leaving the franchise?".
EU fan: "The Star Wars Expanded Universe is a pathway to many stories some would consider non-canonical. It became so big and expansive the only thing it was afraid of was being decanonized by someone else in charge, which eventually, of course, it did. Unfortunately, it taught their new owner Disney everything it knew, then they killed it on April 25, 2014. Ironic, the Clone Wars could still be canon but not the Expanded Universe".
New fan: "Is it possible to learn these stories?".
EU fan: "Not from Disney".
wow bravo, Harris!
So we’ll written I love this
give this man a heart
This is when people use “tldr” but this does deserve an A+
Harris Syed I love it!!! “ Not from Disney”
Humans in 40,000 BC: Still banging rocks together.
Starwars in 100,000 BBY: have space stations with the purpose of harnessing supernatural beings.
Who says some alien species in our galaxy isnt building galactic empires and manipulating system ending technology?
Keep in mind Episode IV takes place about 700 million years ago (from our POV).
@Alan Yablonski Well,the Big Bang is said to happen 13.000.000.000 BBY. We think it happened about 13.7 billion years ago,that means Star Wars takes place (13.7 - 13) billion years ago.
@@user-gn5jt5gf2x to be fair Star Wars timelines converge at 0 BBY which is a new hope
It's always interesting how that the first one even knowing why
Load of BS, everything in nature points to a supremely thoughtful & masterful designer. But we'd prefer to believe we descended from animals, have virtually zero purpose for existing & that somehow our galaxy & everything in it came about by some cosmic miracle? Would be easier to believe Star Wars was non-fiction.
It's crazy how all this started with a single movie released 30-something years ago.
40 years ago now.
And all erased by one giant company purchasing rights to it.
I hate Walt Disney i am glad he is dead
GN-z11 Walt Disney had nothing to do with the Disney's choice to buy Lucasfilm, because he was dead long before that, so unless you hate him for another reason, there isn't a reason for you to hate him.
Anuj Jain HE CREATED DISNEY
When you realise that all this comes from a movie created in 1977
Only Star Wars Here there is always a Dark Side which is explain you the light is lie every time light get power darkness overthrow him this circle gum completing again and again and again so at the last no 30 year passed no 30 year from future this is story as always on earth time is just like a bookmark in our history
And this more focused at BBY instead ABY
This mostly would never happen if there will be no prequels.
Alex Ya there was more but around the time it got decanonized
A movie that was supposed to begin and end there. It’s still my favorite. It has a purity that none of the rest of them have.....
Do I enjoy canon
Yes
Do I enjoy legends
Yes
What version of Star Wars do I enjoy the most
GEORGE LUCAS’S STAR WARS
So just A New Hope?
I’ll pass on midichlorians tho
Yeah I’m cool off them shitty ass prequels tho
George Lucas canon: Star Wars episode 1-6 and clone wars season 1-6.
Bruh the prequels are awful
I see why people dislike Disney’s control over Star Wars.
The new trilogy could’ve been so much better
@William Colebrook-Smith it'd be awesome to see a new jefi order at all. Instead we got psychopath Luke.
@@tristanmorris9432 Yeah, that was a mistake, big time.
So much fucken better
I can describe how the sequels would've been better with 2 words Yuuzhan-Vong War
But than again Legends is the real canon not this crap we were given by Disney
@Elijah Neil actually its the high republic but who cares
These people have written 13,000,000,000 years worth of history, for a fictional galaxy, based off of 6 movies, but most of it isn't even canon?!
Well, when they wrote it it WAS canon, but now its not.
+ReverendJedi it makes sense to retcon everything so they can tell they're stories
+ReverendJedi but it still makes them money horses
+Pewpewboomshot that would make sense if only the post Return of the Jedi stuff was retconed. Why cant the Force Wars be canon? Or any of the Old Republic timeline? That stuff that happens way before the prequels doesn't affect Disneys ability to make sequels with new stories.
+117Tempest so if they wanna make material before the prequels they can
So a summarization of the history of the Star Wars Galaxy is: The Jedi almost die but come back a lot
Same for the sith
after each time they demilitarized
The Jedi keep dying out and the Sith keep coming back for short periods of time where they fail to control the galaxy.
Basically, Force-users keep screwing up.
I'd say a better summary is "The Sith really don't get that they'll never have a regime lasting more than a generation".
It's more than that really, the Jedi and Sith orders are both smaller parts of the same 'lineage' of Force-Using traditions. They are Thesis and Antithesis to each other... the history after the formation and fall of the ancient Je'daii can be considered a metaphorical (and violent) dialogue between the two repeatedly failing to achieve Synthesis or a re-forming of the Je'daii as a whole.
"The Chosen One shall bring balance to the force"
> The Sith keep rising up after Anakin sacrifices himself
Anakin: Am i a joke to you?
thing is, the will of the force is to bring balance. if you have a lot of jedi running around the force will raise up sith to match them.
@Palpatine McSenateFace just another jedi killing another jedi. they don't exsplain how anything works.
@@inszel According to George Lucas, the Jedi are balance. Anakin fulfilled the prophecy when he destroyed the emperor and Vader.
@@jamesh7540 the old canon has the force as a balencing force, the jedi are the light and the sith the darkness. the force wants this to be equal between the two, so if there are jedi but no sith suddenly sith start popping up. if you want a good idea on this look at the philsohsy of darth traya.
@@inszel I understand that idea, but it contradicts GL's statements, which is basically the Word of God in this universe. Or was until Disney bought it.
NOW i understand y ppl r still pissed disney made legends not part of canon anymore. THIS IS SICK
@reima s you are one with the force now
@reima The force is strong with this one.
It might just be because im more of a sci-fi person, but I don't like how magical and fantastical this is. Everything has to do with the force and everybodys some overpowered god
not only, disney copied legends in a garbage way to seem "original"
It is so frustrating growing up inspired by such a unique and vast lore and then have a corporation come and say that none of it is true anymore and rewrite everything you grew up with.
Canon: 10,000 years ago!
Legends: 13 BILLION years ago!!!!! Beat that!
Alex BoydSmith 13 billion years of mostly weak and unorganized plot. It picks up around biowares story
Alex BoydSmith
13 billion years of nonsense
Canon doesn't really pick up until around 100 BBY. But that's to be expected since canon has only existed for less than 5 years and legends has existed for about 30. Right now legends is better than canon but that's probably just because it's had more time to develop. It'll be interesting to see what canon looks like in a few decades.
@@monke12354
I think you got the numbers wrong.
Canon does not have 13 billion years.
You are right about being weak and disorganised though
New canon cut out most of the dumb bullshit that no one cared about, even when Legends used to be canon
This is why i love Star Wars. So deep, so many individuals that worked, dreamt, created and expanded an universe together. This is an heritage that the Disney deal can't erase.
Geeks Curiosity yeah but they kinda did so....... :D
And so much dumb fanfiction esque bullshit too
The EU was so stylistic. But disney knows that can't undo it all, that's why they're dimishing the effects of it.
@@darthqrow4582 what?
Thank you
“Every one of these movies is a particularly hard nut to crack. There’s no source material. We don’t have comic books. We don’t have 800-page novels. We don’t have anything other than passionate storytellers who get together and talk about what the next iteration might be.”
-Kathleen Kennedy
imsorryclass wait what???
She should have never been in charge of Lucasfilm
@DejaVoodooDoll
Hey, I can post random quotes too.
"After Star Wars was released, it became apparent that my story--however many films it took to tell--was only one of thousands that could be told about the characters who inhabit its galaxy. But these were nto stories that I was destined to tell. Instead they would spring from the imagination of other writers, inspired by the glimpse of a galaxy that Star Wars provided. Today it is an amazing, if unexpected, legacy of Star Wars that so many gifted writers are contributing new stories to the Saga." - George Lucas in foreward to 1995's release of "Splinter of the Mind's Eye".
What was your point?
@DejaVoodooDoll
Lol, wut?
I did not spin any quote. I just pasted it, just like you did. And asked what was your point, because I genuenly don't know what were you trying to achieve.
But since we are at it, you really need considerable imagination to twist "it is not my universe, but I try to keep it coherent with mine" into "it's not my movie, so it's not canon", especialy when Lucas called it all one "saga"
@DejaVoodooDoll
If Lucas was insistant that Luke should be a hermit, then why didn't you post a quote, where Lucas says so?
He did not like Mara, but he allowed her to exist nontheless, despite banning many other Thrawn Trillogy concepts, like origins if Vader's mask, or Obi-Wan's clone. But you did not post quotes that could support that either.
LucasFilm only tried to keep to 2014's Canon when creating the sequels, true. But "trying to be original, despite having ready material" is not the same as "ignoring that there is material".
My bad, the quotes, are actually relevant, especialy the second one. It proves that Lucas cared about SW as a whole and even if an SW work wasn't his, he tried to keep SW coherent. Which calls Kennedy out on her bullshit, when she says that there is no material
It’s a shame that the Old Republic years and everything before it isn’t canon.
In a few years, a large portion will be. :)
@@enyotheios2613 I just hope Disney doesn't ruin TOR and KOTOR.
Well, I got a surprise for you in march
It's our canon.
Disney can just make the old republic canon if they want to though. they might because im sure they know there's demand for it.
I can just picture someone saying hmm I wonder if there is any back story to star wars oh look heres a video there probably isn't much *taps vid
13 billion years ago the galaxy was formed
Oh umm ok....
James Miller I thought the same thing! I had never watched this channel. Didn’t even know it existed for over a year, but that will change. It will become “click bait” for me now. I think everyone who knew about it should have brought it to my attention......(I’ll get over that now😅)
LOL
The Outer Rim is strikingly close to resembling the milky way isn't it...
The Galactic Alliance?
You mean Buzz Lightyear's government?
Lol
Or from lilo and stitch
Benjamin Joseph Bruner thank you for this comment
Benjamin Joseph Bruner BUZZ LIGHTYEAR THE WORLDS GREATEST SUPER HERO!!!!!!
Time for a crossover!
Legends: The Sith are a species that are connected to the dark side and knowing this the jedi genocide them, leaving feew left and causing a Galactic rivalry. Canon: Oh uhh some guy was a jedi but then he didn't like being good so he became bad and so some of his followers join him.
is this true!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?
I prefer the canonical version
Ajunta Pall says hi.
Stuka I dunno I don’t think the legends is the best story in this case
Model RK800 They actually were, Tcw season 6 just squeezed into legends I believe(maybe not episodes like sacrifice where Disney renamed Korriban to Moraband.)
Before BBY is great, after BBY feels trapped by having to include Skywalkers.
Blame George Lucas
O G omg come on just stop
Kinda played with with Cade Skywalker, he just wants to be a pirate and do drugs, but destiny keeps dragging him into galactic affairs against his will.
@@210SAi Why him?
Bro its because the whole story was about the sky walkers, the universe was just the backdrop
So impressed, stellar video! Knocked this one out of the park! May the Force Be With You!
+The Stupendous Wave Thanks! :D
+SPARTAN-T422 'Locus' get +fact free here
+The Stupendous Wave Woah you watch his videos...nice both of you guys have relative topics for me in learning.
+SPARTAN-T422 'Locus' what is wrong with someone people
+The Stupendous Wave Watching all these made me realize how insignificant Anakin Skywalker was even though even in the Legends canon, he WAS the Chosen One. Him bringing balance to the force was ultimately/mostly thwarted by a Tusken-adopted human who was 100+ years old ( he was the only Sith who was really a threat after the Empire). I mean what the actual goddamn fuck?! Darth Krayt was just their failed attempt of trying to tie in the entire canon no matter what.
When I was a kid we didn't have new movies or tv shows. These EU comics, games and books were Star Wars for me.
Good for you!!!!
You forgot Starkiller whose family crest was the symbol of the Rebels
His actual name was Galen Marek
@@hankhill1964 Starkiller sounds better but you are right.
True actually he would be considered Legends canon now
@@thatlonewolfguy2878 then they ruined his name with the force awakens. starkiller base would have been more cooler if it killed stars instead of wah wah blow up planet haha death star 3 go brrr
@@keisufederationmapping2748 Yeah I agree, it was a slap in the face to his name but you might wanna rewatch it, for its power it literally drains a star's energy so it literally does kill stars, just uses them as fuel instead of making them go supernova with its canon
Why was Legends cancelled? It could have coexisted with the official canon.
I thinks better that it wasn't, given the stories that Disney calls "Canon."
because it would be better then disney canon and siphoned all the interest of the fan
I consider Legends true canon and Disney Star Wars an alternate universe. George Lucas still had say in what happened in the Legends series.
karen hall I personally consider them two alternate universes, for me there is no timeline that is real or not real, there are just two alternate timelines.(although legends is my favourite timeline)
This is random and its odd to bring in but whatever
What disney should have done is similar to what netherelm studios did with the mortal kombat series
Take content trim the exes fat chamge a bit so the most of it made sense and make that content
mainstream while still paying respect to the orgin of your new stuff
Man. This Galaxy cannot catch a break
just like us eh?
NeonFish710 like game of thrones.
NeonFish710 Guess that’s why it’s Star ‘Wars’.
Never
This was awesome. Learned a lot.
+WrecklessEating Thanks!
+Star Wars Minute is where you ended as far as the legends canon got before Disney bought Star Wars?
Pretty much. Stories were being written at several points throughout the timeline at the time that legends was cancelled, but that's as far forward as the story went.

TFA is the root of the problem. Redoing Rebels vs Empire and returning to the status quo doesn't make any sense, doesn't continue the saga in any meaningful way and effectively crippled the trilogy.
The Vong War and the One Sith actually made for new interesting story arcs.
@@That_Guy00 That’s true, so weird that they were so proud of the same concept George Lucas used back in the 70’s, and they use it now like we haven’t had enough stories of resilient rebels standing against an almighty force of evil. Thing is, I feel like if that could’ve worked.
Force Awakens is practically just A New Hope, but if they we’re going to use this familiar structure as a way to tell a new story, it could’ve worked. Or better yet, though the Yuzhon-Vong War isn’t my favorite storyline, FA building up to our heroes discovering a threat much like the Yuzhon-Vong would’ve truly been a site to see.
Imagine leaving the theater after seeing that!
@@TagnBinkwerehere I'd of left the theatre happy af, Idk how I left the theatre after TFA but I think I was still happy, what a mistake lol
The Fifth Great Schism occurred when Disney did away with Legends.
The Sixth Great Schism occurred when "The Last Jedi" was released.
gary24fan I like your analogies. Order 66 was declared when LucasArts got dissolved...
Those Schism are out of order
The seventh will be when Dave Filoni takes over
@Richard Sutton Definitely not when Disney did away with Legends.
The Fifth Great Schism came in 2008 with TCW. The Disney management was slowly creeping in as George Lucas lessened his reins on the company and they falsely promoted Dave Filoni as a "lore master" who got very defensive and standoffish when put on the spot and shortly thereafter started insisting "the EU was never part of George's universe," using his talking points to undermine the spirit of his words. The canon war began in 2008. We lost. Disney won. The rest of it was just playacting.
I mix up canon and legends to make my own Star Wars. What I choose from each is my canon. This should be your attitude as well, my friends.
Ok man you do you
@@Dra0125 No. You do as well. I demand it.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
Tristan Morris ok I know the different of them
Tristan Morris it just makes u look ignorant so ur on ur own kid
Holy shit. So it seems like there is a never ending power struggle between Jedi and Sith. Makes for good lore, but damn it’s crazy
feels like real-life. a never ending battle between freedom and oppression
@@Xenotaris dude you gotta cheer up man
basically sith and jedi where one order in the beginning researching the force, one day a few of them discovered the dark side and then "the dark side is better then the light side", "no the light side is better then the dark side" and so on. And that is the real reason for the war betwen jedi and sith.

There’s always a little truth in legends
D Legend damn
D Legend your title is quite fitting.
Or in this case, a lot of truth
High and mighty for Filoni to claim that after all the needless changes he's made to lore that degrade the history as a whole outside what you can pin to George Lucas. He's no lore master, just a very good charlatan.
when I first read about Mara and she was like : "I have to kill Luke Skywalker" I was like:"Great,I thought he would never find a cool wife
that's the real eternal conflict... man vs woman
I agree!😁
and in the new canon he is the "forever alone" guy who kills himself through force projection...
What a shame, Disney
@@XellDincht That's not real Star Wars it's Disney trash. Legends is the real Star Wars ;)
Apparently Mara Jade is going to be canon soon.
Sounds like a big game of Sid Mier's Civilization to me.
Player:Light Side
Gandhi: Dark Side
Star Wars Total War
So basically Ghandi is the Rakata, getting advanced technology at year 1152A.D.
In all honesty, I just view Legends and Disney Canon as two different timelines. Two different ways each story played out, with the stuff Disney allowed to be Canon, like the movies, being the only car instant. Even then, the events that lead up to these events are different as well. Two different equally real realities. This is just my head cannon, so anyone else can think differently.
*Real Star Wars Legends (Expanded Universe):* You took everything from me.
*Disney:* I don't even know who you are.
*Real Star Wars Legends (Expanded Universe):* You will.
they wont tho
I hope Star Wars legends is never forgotten. It seems that Star Wars is going to live for a long time, and the chances of a legends movie become lower and lower.
I think the new canon will be heavily inspired by Legends.
+Elias Sen Doudouh Bane is already canon though. And Legends was never canon. Only the movies were full canon back then but people forget that.
+Nikolai Belinski - I'm really glad this shit is not canon. Legends is good, but not good for the current movies.
+Elias Sen Doudouh keep in mind Pablo Hidalgo, Dave Filoni and a lot of writers get to decide what they put in their stories. Disney can stop them from doing something dumb like claiming Chewbacca just had a speech impediment but they're already bringing back a lot of old star wars material.
+SpaceRainFilms Exactly! :D
The story line follows the same cycle. Sith rise, sith falls, jedi rise, jedi falls, on and on and on for thousands of years
This is kinda boring
SebaP1991 I like it very much because of the changing characters
Ryan Davidson "it's all a wheel going round and round. It's a beautiful dream, stopping the wheel. You are not the first to try."
"I don't wish to stop the wheel, I will break it."
That's how force works
“It’s like poetry, it rhymes” to quote someone who is important to this topic
Remember when this was canon and George Lucas was still in charge of star wars? Good times. Legends was a better sequel to the original trilogy than the Disney movies were, and legends wasn't even a movie!
Luke Skillings it was never canon legends was a alternative universe that gorge Lucas created to let writers do whatever they wanted but it was the writers choice to tie it in with the movies at every turn and with no Star Wars movie in sigh gorge used legends as well to try and be as creative as he could after all the hate
@@randomgamer625 Well because of the shit Disney made with star wars I'm gonna pretend that legends is canon.
They should've made a movie or series about either the Old Republic or the events after the second Deathstar.
Legends is awesome
I was just thinking about that! We need a new Saga about the old republic, and really just pre clone wars in general
This is so much better than the story the new movies take
YungDiabeetus You do realize people said this same shit ab the prequels over a decade ago yes?
Hannibal IboneK The sequels ruin the original trilogy while the EU continues and improves on it
I wouldn't necessarily say the prequels ruined the OT or vice-versa. But Ep3 did twist itself in temporal knots and it seems the best parts of 2 and 3 ended up on the cutting room floor.
@@BBRRTT98 But they were wrong, this time not
Happy Star Wars Day everyone! I wanted to do something special for all of you, so here's my longest video yet! I wanted to make this video so fans who aren't familiar with Legends stories can get a basic idea of what happened when. I tried to approach Legends like a history book would and focused on the events and characters that had the most impact on galactic history. Inevitably, some things were left out. So if there's anything you want to see covered, make sure to leave a comment here and I'll make sure to do a full video on the topic in the future! I hope you enjoy this labor of love, and may the Force be with you all!
+Star Wars Minute this video is like 20 episodes in 1
good job man
+Star Wars Minute Awesome video! keep up the good work !
Thank you so much, this is simply amazing!!! I can't really say nice job, this is too good for that kind of compliment. Once again, thank you. I think this video proves that every Star Wars fan should be subscribed to you. Happy May the 4th, and may the force be with you too.
hell yea
may the fourth be with you guys
In Legends all Star Wars Chracters had amazing backstorys even background small chracters
Man,Those early Dark Horse comics Tales of the Jedi were really something special..
I happen to have the MP3 files of Tales of the jedi Parts 1 and 2 sadly no part 3 yet.
Legends is so freaking awesome compared to the stuff Disney puts out. Like seriously the overall Legends story as shown in this video is pure epic. It actually makes sense considering what happened in the Star Wars movies, and it makes me really sad knowing that this stuff isn’t canon anymore
Yeah im also saddend aswell pal
I'm at least happy they can't touch it. NO ONE at Lucasfilm could do it justice. No, not Dave Filoni, not Jon Favreau, _NO ONE._ That said, Legends could still thrive, if it was allowed to be continued by outside entities, like Hasbro, Marvel, Del Rey, and yet they won't do that, lol. What a creatively bankrupt company.
@@saberiandream316 legends is so awesome but in the Disneyverse they steal the chosen one title from Anakin skywalker and Rey is the one to permanently end the Sith. You made a good point, Disney can’t screw up legends,
@@pixel80 lol wow anakin is still the choesn one
Well most of it could still be canon in the Disney stuff. For example the Final Order squads were named after old Sith, making me believe it is canon. And even if it wasn’t, it is to me. All of it has happened no matter what Disney says and screw those sequels
You didn't include Chewbacca nor Luke's death.
Luke was never given a death in Legends, we know he's dead in Cade's timeline as we see his Force Ghost, but we never knew how he died because Disney bought Star Wars before we could.
Quantum-Kakarotto Read your post over again. "Luke was never given a death", "we know he's dead in Cade's timeline". We don't know HOW he died, but we know he died.
John Silver Exactly, Luke's death was never written,
Wether his death was written or not is irrelevant, we know he is dead. He is dead.
John Silver Everybody dies eventually, even Yoda.
Legends will always be superior to cannon. I grew up with legends.
I’m just getting into the EU now. I’m reviewing the books and comics as I go along, I’d appreciate it if anybody took the time to stop by.
I seek knowledge. I'll call you, Old Master.
+Batman Jr. I accept this title haha
+Star Wars Minute this must have taken so long to make! Great job!
All of this makes the movies so insignificant...
And the Empire too. SOOO much history! And the grand plan of Sidious ends in like 23 years. Haha.
I like to think that the story/saga of the Skywalkers becomes one of the greatest in the history of the galaxy, but we haven't seen all of their greatest events yet. Luke Skywalker is just remembered as the first and most famous Skywalker, so the galactic time measurement begins with him
Efods Movies Well, there really hasn't been much AFTER Episode 6, right? Even in Expanded Universe/Legends, it doesn't seem like there was much with the Skywalkers that weren't directly tied to Luke Skywalker.
To be fair, this video here is the first time I've ever really experienced the history of Star Wars beyond the movies, but comparing the BBY era to the ABY, there doesn't seem to be much to read.
Checkmate1138 to be fair they would have gotten longer if they had gone with future rather than past
Tommy Peli If only Ahsoka was in the New Jedi Order since 26 years ago :(.
The ancient Star Wars stories with the primitive Star Wars universe along with other tales from the EU, sound very interesting because it is based on books, comics, video games, animated series and can expand into enormous amount of great things. It would be interesting to see some films covering pre historic Star Wars which would be super prequels to the prequels itself. It would be like going back in time way before the modern Star Wars era. A lot of EU material would be interesting to see come to life in the future.
This is real Star Wars canon - that's what I'll tell my kids

@@billloney2567 I’m glad they are passing the love for Star Wars down to another generation.
@@christophersalinas2722 Hell yeah, I'm 17 years old and I grew up with the Expanded Universe before Disney bought it out, Revenge of the Sith came out before I was only a year old and Genndy's Clone Wars is what I've always preferred pver TCW
Are the 'humans' in Star Wars actually called humans? I've always wondered that...
Yes Lee, they are.
... he says, condescendingly.
Well, I figured since they are in a separate galaxy from us that they would be considered aliens to humans like us. Granted humans only exist on Earth. They can be humans if in George Lucas' world the Human species can exist on more than one galaxy and way before the humans of Earth existed.
Well, you could also think of it as, since this was a galaxy far far away, and it took place a long time ago, maybe they managed to create tech that allowed them to come to our galaxy, where they found earth and settled there, thus creating the first humans on Earth. Maybe they had crash landed, too, and lost their tech, or were abandoned by their captain or whatever, thus forcing them to become primitive.
well since that happened years ago who says humans found a way to travel to another galaxy aka milky way and settle on a small planet earth. XD
This is canon. I don't care what Disney says or does
you can have your head canon but I like Disney canon more than this

i think this should be canon until 0 bby
Ngl I love honestly legends more then canon it has such more depth to it, and honestly would love to see more lore games from Star wars since it's just a great feeling to live threw that kind of life.
You should just do the insanely long video of ALL of the complete legends history in detail....maybe even make it in parts as a series you do or something
Who else believes or favors the legends timeline over canon
who doesn't
Simon Rozze only the BBY then I go cannon

I favour the old EU
Can you please explain to me how *exactly* YOU get to define what both “true fans” and “real Star Wars” is?

TFU wasn't really canon to begin with, which is good since it was garbage.
SW Legends IS canon, at least for most of us older fans. As far as I'm concerned the Thrawn Trilogy is chapters 7, 8, and 9.
This is waaayyyy cooler than the Canon.
hey there SWE
theres a couple things i would like to offer corrections for:
-Bane took the title Darth *before* killing the dark brotherhood, not after or because of the accomplishment
-Palpatine did *not* initially comission the clone army. Syfo Dias did. Then told Hego Damask (Plagueiss) of his intentions.. then 10 yrs later Sidious sent Dooku to assasinate Dias and assume funding to the Kaminoans and have them install the order 66 chip
So this is the old timeline,I must say it's actually pretty interesting
This video merely does its best to summarize the Legends timeline, but if someone decides to binge all of it, they'll learn how entertainingly deep the lore is with history and adventure. And I'm not only speaking of books. Star Wars comes in all types of forms.
I hope someone in Disney does bring it.
Canon: 10,000 BBY
Legends: 1,000,000,000,000 BBY
I prefer Legends.

Yes

GrantRoscoe I freaking love legends.
Man I wish Legends was canonical and the Disney Wars the fanfiction.
I would love to see the "insanely long" video explaining EVERYTHING in the Legends galactic history. I would really like watching that! Even if it was a couple hours long. I think you should make a video like that for people like me who appreciate stuff like that and like watching long videos about the history of certain things. :) This video was great tho, covered pretty much all the important major things in a nice descriptive way that was quick for people who like the shorter videos. If possible, I really would like to see the long video of everything in the history of the galaxy....
I miss the EU, Therefore I'm gonna reject the existence of the disney canon and declare the EU official canon in my eyes...
I just enjoy both I dont like the sequels but I like roque one mandalorian rebels and the clone wars the way In my head is before episode 1 is legends and after episode 6 is legends also love ur picture great floyd album

@@williamryder8497 Nope not worth my time
“Legends” is MY canon
And they call Yoda Old
According to the admittedly non canon story where han solo dies on Earth, Chewbacca becomes bigfoot, and Indiana Jones finds the Millennium Falcon. The battle of Yavin should of happened a little after 1800, and Cade Skywalker lived during the 1940s. So I wonder what the galaxy looks like in 2016?
They had SO MUCH SOURCE MATERIAL to work off of, and they give us a jumbled journey full of shlock, pandering, and plot holes that only led us back to Palpatine. What about Mara Jade? Jacen Solo? THE YUUZHAN VONG?!
technically the movies are the source material
@@TheNiggler17 what about the countless books and comics and video games, they act as a source too. We had to scrape information together for years to build a narrative and Disney just throws dirt at us all

I’m an Star Wars geek for 18 y now and can say I know a lot nd to refresh my knowledge I watched this amazing vid and could put some weak parallels to canon wich is beutaful but I need to say that the sequels just destroyed a wonderful possibility

great video. loved it
That’s a good name

Legend: many decades

What is canon and legend? Do'nt understand it.
1977: George Lucas makes Star Wars.
Fans: Dang this is pretty awesome we could make a bunch of lore and stuff from this.
*Spend next 40 years intensely working and creating thousands of characters and stories to create best possible expanded universe*
2014:
Disney - Oh ya by the way none of that matters anymore. *now we have full control*
Note: I kind of get why Disney got rid of the EU, I mean the kind of had to in order to leave space to make new movies, but seriously it’s a disappointment that all the work authors and creators put into the EU is disregarded and labeled as kind of “fake.” And sorry this is just my opinion but I think the EU is miles better than what Disney has been making. Sorry it’s just my opinion
Good opinion, you have
Disney/Lucasfilm could have made it an alternate timeline and still publish Legends materials. DC and Marvel deal with multiversal stories everyday.
Except Disney did not have to "get rid" of the EU. They could have just established an alternate universe, sort of what MCU is to Marvel Comicbooks.
Or they could have just used one of the many long gaps in the story, but that would require the writers to actually know the lore, which (as the new movies shown us) is apparently too much to demand
I'm not a fan of altenative universes. It takes away all the logic and correlations of what we've learn to know. I'd rather have plot holes here and there than follow a timeline where luke and leia might've never existed
Idiots, Disney sympathizers are
"Always two there are; a master and an apprentice," -Darth Bane.

Disney: Hey, can I look at your notes for a sec
Legends: Sure, just change it a bit.
underrated comment
I cant believe Disney put this all to waste
The New Empire lucasflims did it because it was going to.be a pain in the ass to adapt for the mainstream audience. They have slowly brought many of this back.
Lavon Media Oh no the writers have to do actual work. They surely dont have an entire galaxy to work with. There puny creative procces can't write a story. Lets just reboot it and pander it to the tumblor crowd and alienate the fanbase that threw there money to see star wars only to not throw money at it no more. It is okay we got the new generation who care not of art and story telling. Lets make sure we target them to sell more toys of our reboot. Now with that sarcasm out of the way you do relise rebootd hardly ever work? If the evil dead reboot failed and gosthbuster reboot failed and robocop reboot failed. Why make a new reboot? You don't reboot art. I don't see anyone rebooting the mona lisa. You know why it didn't need it. If your writers can't add on to a story and need to rebooy an entire galaxy. You got bad writers. Fo you know how big an entire galaxy is? Unlimited opportunity. When bethseda bought out fallout they did not reboot it they expanded the world. Disney can't expand a galaxy but a gaming company can expande an entire country. That's really bad if ypu compare the size scale from a world building point of view.
Lavon Media I don't understand what mixed mean in this sense can you elborate please? I want to know your oppion on a subjective topic.
Look, I love the EU, but there was just way too much to adapt for even two new sets of trilogies. We're talking decades of books, some better than others, that most Star Wars fans, at best, only know portions of. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fischer, and Harrison Ford were too old for them to adapt anything earlier than the Galactic Alliance Era, and how can you possibly start a book accurate Darth Caedus trilogy without first having done the Solo children's development and the Yuuzhan Vong War?
Again, I love the EU, but they had to separate the films and the old novels into two separate timelines. It would have been a logistical nightmare and an incomprehensible mess otherwise.
Hopefully they will make a Force War, Hut wars, Infinte Empire, Mandalorian wars, Ancient human expansion, Revan, Great Hyperspace War, Exar Kun War, New Sith War, Zygerian Empire, Great Galatic War, Kel Dor Empire (I think they would make cool villians), Trandoshan Empire, Umbaran Empire, completely new Empires, and Droid Revolution films in the future even if they change the plots a little as long as they dont ruin it.

I just watched Rise of Skywalker and nothing will beat this legends content man
This is art! Disney are complete and utter idiots for rendering this non-canon. I mean, I bet Jacen Solo would be better then Kylo Ren (Ben Solo). A film on the Vuuzhan Vong War, 2nd Galactic Civil War or Darth Krayt's Empire would be more entertaining then Episode 7 which was basically episode 4,5 & 6 combined
Some Random Guy I agree! They had great material and characters to use.
At least keeping the original solo and skywalker family. Just imagine they could have brought in Cade skywalker who had the very force power to bring people back to life. Something his ancestor Anakin so dearly wanted to achieve. That would be a great "ending" to the skywalker legacy.
Александр Пахомов I love thrawn trilogy
At least they referenced Starkiller.

It’s only a matter of time before we get a mandalorian wars series and I’m all for it, I don’t care about the Disney hate I want more Star Wars content and they have the machine to do it, mandalorian book of boba obi wan andor all excellent.
7:51-11:05 (4,000 BBY to 3,951BBY) is really interesting. A lot of really interesting stuff happens in a very short amount of time with characters that sound really interesting and compelling. I bet that would make a cool time period to base a series of movies off of (too bad it’s no longer canon)
yeah because there are video games about that time period lmao
This is the TRUE history of Star Wars. It has such a rich history and told better stories like General Grevious'.

But all of this makes the Movies so forgetable.

@@nagihangot6133 thats what I said
In comparison, I don't know a whole heap about Legends. But I think they should have included:
1. How Mara initially wanted to kill Luke
2. Mara and Luke's son, Ben
3. How Anakin died during the Yuuzhan Vong War
4. How Mara dies at the hands of Darth Caedus
Why couldn't Disney keep the Legends up until the Clone Wars cannon?
Before the dark times... Before Disney!
Before lightsaber got nerf
Before rebels
If Disney just gives up its campaign to rule Lucasfilm, everything would work well.

Legends will always be the fan canon. Disney only bought the franchise so they could make a shit ton of cash explioting great storys by retconing them and completely disregarding some. I just hope this franchise dosent stay in the hands of disney or else all the good storys like the bane and thrawn trilogy will be retcond and eventualy scraped. Good to know that most fans can see past disney's bullshit though.
Well also everything that Disney does is fanfiction since George Lucas did not create the new trilogy
Crazy it's been almost 3 years since you started this channel, it's been fun watching it grow.
Wow. Honestly, after re-watching this, I never realized how much of Legends lore is about the Jedi and Sith screwing each other over.
After watching The Last Jedi this feels much much much better...
Read some, Legends have a lot more creativity and respect for original heroes.
Can start with "Thrawn Trilogy" by Timothy Zahn:
-Heir to the Empire
-Dark Force Rising
-The Last Command
