The galaxy in one chronological view
The released work-and-arc map opens first across current continuity, Legends and deliberately alternate stories. Announced works are tracked separately and never inflate the numbered checklist.
Story chronology · Full mapped list
Current canon follows the official galactic eras. Legends and alternate works occupy their own visible lanes, so chronological proximity never implies shared continuity. Works that span several years remain labelled rather than forced into false precision.

Quick answers
Before the opening crawl
The unified timeline combines screen, game, publishing and audio stories while preserving every continuity label.
Why does the page open in chronology?
Story chronology shows the complete galaxy at once. Release order remains available for anyone who wants to preserve how each mystery was originally revealed.
Where do The Clone Wars stories sit?
The series and film live in the Clone Wars era, with the official episode chronology linked below. They connect directly into Rebels, The Bad Batch and Ahsoka.
How does The Book of Boba Fett connect to The Mandalorian?
Several episodes directly continue The Mandalorian, and Season 3 assumes those developments have occurred.
Where does Visions appear?
Visions stays in the full map as an alternate-story anthology with its canon label visible; Starter Mode may hide it from the shorter view.
Editorial standard
Chronology checked against Lucasfilm.
The official StarWars.com viewing guide anchors the broad chronology. Story Order then separates first-watch essentials from deeper animated context.
