The Flash (CW song tribute)

(Verse 1)
In the blink of an eye, he moves so fast,
A hero born in lightning, a legacy that will last,
With lightning strikes and a scarlet streak,
The Flash emerges, his purpose to seek.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Flash, he's running through time,
Fighting crime, a hero so sublime,
With speed and power, he's a lightning bolt,
Defender of Central City, never to revolt.

(Verse 2)
Barry Allen, the man behind the mask,
A forensic scientist, his duty unsurpassed,
With a heart of gold, he fights for justice,
Against villains and meta-humans, he'll never miss.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Flash, he's running through time,
Fighting crime, a hero so sublime,
With speed and power, he's a lightning bolt,
Defender of Central City, never to revolt.

(Bridge)
Through the Speed Force, he harnesses his might,
Guided by love, courage, and the need to make things right,
With his team by his side, they face the unknown,
Protecting the innocent, a legacy to be shown.

(Verse 3)
In the darkest of nights, he brings the light,
Chasing shadows, his determination takes flight,
From the Reverse-Flash to Captain Cold,
The Flash battles on, his bravery untold.

(Chorus)
Oh, the Flash, he's running through time,
Fighting crime, a hero so sublime,
With speed and power, he's a lightning bolt,
Defender of Central City, never to revolt.

(Outro)
So let the lightning strike, and the thunder roar,
The Flash races on, forever to explore,
In the CW universe, his legend will endure,
The Flash, the fastest man alive, forever pure.
Run, Barry, Run!

Talking To A Brick Wall (original lyrics/poem) Sjones

(Verse 1)
In this world of silence, I stand alone,
Talking to a brick wall, no voice to be known.
Words fall like echoes, lost in the abyss,
Conversations held with a wall, dismissed.

(Chorus)
Oh, brick wall, won't you listen to me?
Can you hear the longing, the plea?
I pour my heart out, but you don't respond,
Talking to a brick wall, my spirit beyond.

(Verse 2)
Every word I whisper, every thought I share,
They vanish into nothingness, lost in thin air.
Emotions bouncing off your cold facade,
I wonder if you ever truly understand.

(Chorus)
Oh, brick wall, won't you listen to me?
Can you hear the longing, the plea?
I pour my heart out, but you don't respond,
Talking to a brick wall, my spirit beyond.

(Bridge)
But amidst this frustration, a realization dawns,
The brick wall may never respond with its songs.
Yet, in the depths of my heart, a change takes place,
I find solace in knowing, it's myself I embrace.

(Verse 3)
Though the wall may be silent, I won't be deterred,
I'll keep sharing my stories, my voice will be heard.
For even if the wall can't comprehend,
There's healing in expressing, a journey to mend.

(Chorus)
Oh, brick wall, won't you listen to me?
Can you hear the longing, the plea?
I pour my heart out, but you don't respond,
Talking to a brick wall, my spirit beyond.

(Outro)
So I'll keep talking, with hope in my eyes,
Even if the wall won't sympathize.
In this conversation, I find strength anew,
Talking to a brick wall, but my spirit breaks through.

Top 10 Aerosmith Songs

Here's a list that is overdue haha, my apologies for not bringing it out sooner, but it is time to delve in deep and go crazy but don't cry at this most sweet emotional rock and roll list from the legendary Aerosmith!
10: Dude (Looks Like A Lady)
The song, which originally started out as "Cruisin' for a Lady", talks about a male with an effeminate appearance who is mistaken for a female. There is a story that the song was inspired by the glam look of the members of Mötley Crüe and their constant usage of the word "dude". Steven Tyler says in the book Walk This Way: The Autobiography of Aerosmith, "Then one day we met Mötley Crüe, and they're all going, 'Dude!' Dude this and Dude that, everything was Dude. 'Dude (Looks Like a Lady)' came out of that session." Joe Perry came up with the chorus riff, and Tyler came up with the chorus refrain. In his recent book, The Heroin Diaries, Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe claims that the song was specifically inspired by Vince Neil, singer with Mötley Crüe.

9: Same Old Song And Dance
It's a story about people who make fucked up choices...if you don't change your ways, life's never going to change for you. It's the same old story, the same old song and dance

8: Sweet Emotion
Groupie drama much? It's a chill laid back song, and you have probably heard it many times and not known it was by Aerosmith haha. 

7: Living On The Edge
it's about how bad the world has gotten, but it's the human race's fault, "There's something wrong with the world today, and God know's it ain't his." Along with addressing religion, racism, and how people would rather put the blame on someone else other than themselves, this song says that even though there's something wrong with the world, we'd rather keep hangin' on.

6: Love In An Elevator
Self-explanatory, let's have sex in an elevator and take our love to another level haha. Quite the catchy iconic song. 

5: Crazy
great song, describing the pain of a guy whose girl messes him about, but he still loves her no matter what. Excellent guitar solo from Mr Perry, and check out 1 of the last lines where Steven goes so high-pitched, it sounds like a high guitar note...in fact, i can't tell if it is or not!

4: Cryin'
I think this song is about one of those relationships that you can't live with or without. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

3: Dream On
Steven Tyler was 17yrs old when he wrote Dream On. He also had wisdom back in the day. He writes about getting old. And not knowing where it comes from and where it goes, but to just sing with the laughter and the fear. And still after 40yrs it is their signature song.

2: Walk This Way (Ft RUN DMC)
Now the original is fine BUT the DMC collab made this song ten times better and it's so iconic! One of the most iconic crossovers in music history I would say. I had a tough time deciding if this should be number 1 or 2 and in the end and a little sing-song with my lighter raised in the air I decided this would have to be number 2 because the number one is sure to bring Armageddon.

1: I Don't Want To Miss A Thing
Yes here it is! Put those lighters in the air and sway your arms side to side as you belt this song out from the top of your lungs! It is filled with raw love. Passion and feeling that can never be bought. Feelings that once you feel, you're a changed person. An unbelievable closeness between 2 people out of almost 7,000,000,000 people on the planet. That is what life is all about. When you get it, hold on forever

Ok so how was this list for you? Was it good? What would be your top 10? Let me know and as always share this list with fellow fans or any fans of music. I appreciate your time!
Stay shiny!

Top 10 King810 Songs

Get the body bags ready, ready your weapons and come take a trip to murder city with metal legends King810! I got into King810 in 2015 when they supported Slipknot on their UK tour. King 810 are an American heavy metal band from Flint, Michigan, formed in 2007. The band currently consists of David Gunn and Eugene Gill. The band's first release was their independent EP titled Midwest Monsters in 2012, which earned them a signing with Roadrunner Records; they released their second EP titled Proem in 2014, and their debut studio album Memoirs of a Murderer that same year. In June 2012, Gunn was assaulted when he refused to hand over a bag during a robbery. He was shot and stabbed, but survived the attack and went on to write for the band's debut and independent EP, Midwest Monsters, which was heavily inspired by that particular event and previous experiences. I have seen King810 live twice and I recommend the experience. 
10: Murder Murder Murder
Kicking off my list hard with Murderx3. The riff here is addictive and so are Davids harsh raspy vocals. 

9: Ak Concerto No. 47 Bang Guns
I will be perfectly honest the aggressive yet catchy "OOH OOH AH OOH OOH AH"' parts make this take a spot on my list because it is so fun and catchy, and it's a god-damn fire chorus.

8: Bang Guns
A different sound compared to many of the songs on my list with this one having more rap, trap, dubstep feel to it. The chorus is great and gets stuck in your head easily. 

7: I Am The Enemy
I love the flow and how catchy this song is. The way the chorus is run and put together is really something else, it stands out and lingers long in the mind. 

6: Say Cheese & Die
This is quickly becoming an all-time fave for me, it's a recently released track from King's newest album and it is so damn catchy, I love how it flows and the instrumentals in this. King at its best! 

5: I Ain't Going Back Again
A softer yet sombre song. Song all about not going back again to that dark mindset, drugs, jail, gangs you know it's about quitting those bad and dark habits. Great storytelling and a memorable chorus.

4: War Outside
I love the aggression and the catchy chorus, It makes me want to cause some environmental destruction and make it look like a warzone. THERE'S A WAR OUTSIDE! Unrelated but King's Memoirs album is an absolute masterpiece and I love it so much. 

3: Desperate Lovers
Now when I first heard this it was live in concert, and I was like "oooh this is good" I loved the heaviness and the groove and riff it was all so just addicting and metal. Catchy and aggressive. 

2: Fat Around The Heart
Lyrics like a lot of King 810 songs are self-explanatory as David walks us through his feelings and experiences. Fat around the heart meaning there's people that have not seen or done the things David has experienced. This is one of King's most popular songs. 

1: Killem All
The first time I have seen King and heard this live I was blown away, and I felt so connected to the aggression and rage and the story being told. This one really brought to life the inner primal aggression buried deep within. My absolute favourite song. 

Okie dokie so this brutality was my list and I hope you liked it and if you had no idea who King810 are, well you are welcome for the education I brought to you. Thanks for reading, feel free to share it to metal fans or fellow King810 fans alike.

Stay Shiny!

I'm Sick Of It All

I'm sick of losing my motivation, I'm sick of losing my inspiration, I'm sick of being told what to do, I'm sick of being told I'm not good enough, I'm sick of people making assumptions based on my weight or words I say at interviews today.

I try and try and try my hardest to learn about companies before I apply and prune my CV to make sure I fit the criteria, if I didn't then why would I have applied? I am sick of being overlooked, you sit there silently listening to all my nervous thoughts and words knowing that within the first 2 seconds you have already deemed me not for you because I'm tall and fat and because you won't hire me because I'm older than the other applicants. Yes, you will pay me more, but you get experience, punctuality, dedication and hard work. Some of these youngsters you companies go out and hire quit after a week or cause you headaches because you got to pour so much training and development into them, when someone who has experience takes less time. It's cruel, and you all think you are smart by not publicly saying the issues you have with me, but I know the issues are deeper down than just "oh we had too many applications at this time" or the other usual copy and paste bullshit "you did not match the criteria at this time please try again in another 6 months". They say they will explain more on why you were unsuccessful, but they never reply, these crafty fuckers couldn't even look me in the eyes during an interview, so why would they even give me some Constructive feedback? It's not in their interests or fake smiling kind hearts. Lies and bullshit over and over rinse and repeat the process. 

If I miss your call please leave me a message at the tone and let me know your number, and when is the best time to call you back? I'm sick of people calling me when I'm driving or in work and then not leaving a number or message on who it is and what the call is regarding. Not everyone is a mind reader and not everyone is able to answer the phone 24/7!

How's a man supposed to live with £100 a week? This shit is worse than the job centre but to be fair the shit I do is more satisfying than what the job centre would have me do. Plus if you don't lie down and be a good dog the government run job centre will punish you and stop paying you for months because of their stupid little beliefs. If a dog stands up they piss themselves and call over Roider Roger on security to take you down for a beating and then the job centre "advisor" will piss upon your damaged soul and announce that your payments have been put on hold. They then pawn you off to be on the phone for 12 hours on hold listening to William overtell on repeat while they then answer with no sympathy to tell you that your claim will be talked about during a civil meeting, but it's never civil, nothing job centre wise is, it's just "sit here and listen and obey us you filthy mutt because we are in the right, and you are wrong!" Thanks, Shelly, you have been a most helpful cunt, you have actually helped me find the clitoris because you are one massive walking talking one.

You slave and slave 6/8/12/15 hours a day of your life to someone and swear loyalty and break your ass and your jaw being paid minimum, but everyone can see that you do so much more. The people you serve will laugh and smile and say "oh I bet the perks are nice" no they are mediocre at best, I just want money and hours not pain and 15% off. They will all boast and say "our team is the best" taking all the credit and double the money the team should make. You got other managers saying "hey team we are going to reward your handwork" and you get excited and wait on bated breath, only to be told "we got 3 medium pizzas for all the team, for your efforts" Gee thanks I can pay off my bills now that I have had a slice of Ham & Cheese Za.

You could be having a good day when Karen and Kyle and their group of runaway bandits walk in and terrorize the place and all the staff members. Karen will demand to see the manager when she does not get things her way and Kyle will threaten to hit you and throw his drink or food all over the floor while he pickpockets items in the queue. Karen the only manager you will be seeing is black eye mcgee lovely. Kyle stop being a melt ya filthy Carrot and take away your foster home for imaginary kids outta here before they go up for adoption.

Do this and do that, cheers Robyn I already am if you would kindly open your eyes and see, you Brussel sprout. "You should be out of the house by now and in your own home with your own family by this age" Cheers Daaaad, but the government has made that dream an IMPOSSIBILITY!

The government needs to fuck up. They are again culling old and vulnerable people and families of all ages because they allow the greed of companies to succeed because they get a cut, so their pockets are lined up, and they can now buy a new home from money they stole. These filthy greedy wanking gas and energy companies are all laughing and smugly shouting out to the world that "we have to make killer profits!" yeah you have by killing and robbing people, and now you are laughing and proudly yelling about it, go get fucked in the ass and jump off a bridge into the hardest fucking rocks on Earth.

"Wah waah this actor said something that's not nice" Learn to take a joke and note how times have changed and how so can people you stupid vegetable. John Wayne has been dead for 50 years grow up and leave him and his remaining family alone.

I can be a determined machine when all my gears are lined up and going physically and mentally, but if I'm tired or hurt I slip up, and it takes time to get those gears turning again which halts my breakthroughs and progress, and it's a shame, and I am sick of it happening.

I'm sick of people not understanding. All I want is support and be understood, and a hug does not harm either. Give me a chance. Help me out. Give me tips, show me a better way to get a new job, to not be nervous for interviews. I'm overdue my break. Please.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 3 - MCU's Saving Grace Review

I laughed, I headbanged, I cried, I laughed, I cried, I headbanged and cried again. James Gunn's trilogy of Marvel masterpieces have come to an end. Ladies and Gents this is MCU's saving Grace and this is the end of the perfect trilogy and perfect run of characters the MCU has ever had. James Gunn helped save the mcu, and they should be so thankful and grateful for him.
Basic plot for GOTG3: Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill must rally his team to defend the universe and protect Rocket from the evil twisted villain The High Evolutionary. The team are in a race against time and if the mission is not successful, this will be the end of the Guardians forever.

GOTG3 is a heartbreaking, dramatic story full of heart, laughs and action! The High Evolutionary is the MCU's best villain! He's an evil bastard you detest from his first scene to his last. I see the good in Thanos plans, and he may have taken the most lives in MCU but High Evolutionary is a totally evil, twisted, maniacal bastard compared to any of the rest of the villains in the MCU. Everything in this film was well acted and crafted from its story and actors. Thank you to Gunn and all the cast and crew of all the guardians films for giving us the best films ever. The soundtrack as always for a guardians film, is top tier!

This is the first MCU film I've seen in cinemas since Multiverse Of Madness. It feels like this was the real deal, it felt like a big blockbusting, cinematic piece. All the previous films since Endgame have been lacklustre and boring and drained of the entertainment and heart to me personally. Now it's time for James Gunn to go and save the DC Universe.

Star Wars: The Dark Side Force Powers

In the Star Wars universe, the Dark Side of the Force is a corrupting and malevolent power that is used by those who seek to gain power and control through fear, anger, and hate. While the Dark Side can grant its users great strength and abilities, it often comes at a great cost and can lead to the destruction of the user's soul. Some of the powers associated with the Dark Side of the Force include:
Force Lightning
A powerful electrical discharge that can be used to harm or kill opponents.

Force Choke
A power that allows the user to strangle their enemies without physical contact.

Force Persuasion
The ability to manipulate the thoughts and actions of others through the Force.

Force Drain
The ability to drain the life force from living beings to sustain oneself.

Force Rage
A state of extreme anger and aggression that can enhance the user's physical abilities but can also cloud their judgment and lead to destructive behaviour.

Force Illusion
The ability to create convincing illusions that can deceive even experienced Jedi.

Force Fear
The power to instil fear in others, which can cause them to submit to the user's will or flee in terror.

While some of these powers can also be used by Jedi and other Force users, they are often used in a more compassionate and selfless way. However, those who fall to the Dark Side often use these powers to further their own selfish goals and desires, leading to conflict and destruction.

Star Wars: Darth Revan & His Popularity Explained

Alright here's a fun one for all fans of Star Wars, today let's go deep into the legacy universe and explore one of the most popular characters of all time, he is the legendary Darth Revan!

Darth Revan is a character in the Star Wars Legends continuity who first appeared in the 2003 game "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic." He is a former Jedi Knight who becomes a Sith Lord and later returns to the light side of the Force. Revan was a highly skilled Jedi Knight who fought in the Mandalorian Wars. He became disillusioned with the Jedi Council's decision to stay neutral in the war and eventually joined the Republic military to fight the Mandalorians. During his time in the war, Revan was exposed to the dark side of the Force and became a Sith Lord.

As a Sith, Revan formed his own Sith Empire and waged war against the Republic. However, after being betrayed by his apprentice, Darth Malak, Revan was captured and brainwashed, leading to him losing his memories and being used as a pawn by the Republic. Eventually, Revan regained his memories and turned against both the Republic and the Sith Empire. He sought to stop a new threat to the galaxy, a powerful Sith Empire known as the True Sith, and was willing to do whatever it takes to stop them, even if it meant turning to the dark side once again.

Revan is a popular character among Star Wars fans due to his complex backstory and the moral ambiguity of his actions. He is considered one of the most powerful Force users in Star Wars history and is known for wielding both a purple and a red lightsaber. Here are some of the factors that contribute to his popularity:
1. Complex Character
Darth Revan is a character with a complex backstory and a moral ambiguity that makes him an interesting and relatable character for many fans. His journey from Jedi to Sith and back to the light side of the Force is a compelling story that many fans find fascinating.

2. Iconic Look
Darth Revan has a distinctive look, with a mask and armour that have become iconic in the Star Wars universe. His design has been adapted into various Star Wars media, including action figures, comic books, and cosplay. The armour consists of a set of heavy black robes with silver and red accents, along with a full-body suit of Mandalorian armour. The Mandalorian armour includes a helmet with a T-shaped visor and a distinctive cape that hangs from the back of the armour. The mask worn by Revan is a stylized version of the Mandalorian helmet, with a red visor and two protruding horns on the top. In the "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" video game, the player has the opportunity to customize Revan's armour and colour scheme, allowing for some variation in his appearance. However, the iconic look of the black and silver armour with the Mandalorian helmet and red visor is the most recognizable version of Revan's attire.

3. Powerful Force User
Darth Revan is considered one of the most powerful Force users in Star Wars history. He is skilled in both the light and dark sides of the Force, and he wields both a blue and a red lightsaber. This makes him a formidable opponent and a popular character to play in Star Wars video games. Darth Revan is considered to be one of the most powerful Force users in Star Wars history. He is known for his mastery of both the light and dark sides of the Force, and he has demonstrated a range of impressive feats. Revan is highly skilled in telekinesis and has demonstrated the ability to move objects with his mind, including starships and large boulders. Force Lightning: As a Sith Lord, Revan was skilled in the use of Force lightning, a powerful and destructive form of energy that could be used to shock and even kill opponents. Mind Control: Revan has demonstrated the ability to influence and control the minds of others, both through suggestion and direct manipulation. Force Heal: Revan has demonstrated the ability to heal himself and others using the Force, allowing him to recover from injuries and even revive fallen allies. Force Stasis: Revan has demonstrated the ability to freeze opponents in place using the Force, rendering them unable to move or act. Battle Precognition: Revan has demonstrated the ability to see into the future and predict the movements of his opponents, giving him a significant advantage in battle.

4. Role in Star Wars Legends
Darth Revan's story has been expanded upon in the Star Wars Legends continuity, including in video games, novels, and comic books. This has given fans more opportunities to explore his character and learn more about his journey.

Overall, Darth Revan is a popular character in the Star Wars universe due to his complex character, iconic look, powerful Force abilities, and role in the Star Wars Legends continuity. Worth noting is how much merch has been sold of him from toys to collectibles to clothes. I love Revan and I would die if he ever became canon. He was supposed to appear in Clone Wars as a force ghost but got cut so who knows if we will ever see him become canon or if he will appear live action in a future film, time will tell.

Star Wars: How Do Lightsabers Change Colours?

Lightsabers are such an iconic weapon, and they come in all manners of designs from the hilt to the blade to the colour of said blade, but how do they get to those distinctive colours of Blue, Green, Orange or Red? In the Star Wars universe, the colour of a lightsaber blade is determined by the Kyber crystal that powers it. 

Kyber crystals are rare, naturally occurring crystals that are strong in the Force, and they are used to power lightsabers and other types of deadly weapons. The other weapons Kyber crystals are no big deal, you know nothing too complicated just Death Stars and Starkiller Base are two massive examples but hey I don't want to make a big deal out of it, wait I have? Oh, well. Kyber crystals are also used in the creation of Jedi holocrons, which are used to store information and teachings for future generations. The crystals serve as the power source for the holocron, allowing it to function. In addition to these uses, Kyber crystals are also revered by the Jedi Order for their connection to the Force. Jedi would often meditate with Kyber crystals to gain insight and knowledge about the Force.

Back to the saber's of light now, when a Jedi or Sith constructs a lightsaber, they must find a Kyber crystal that is attuned to the Force and imbue it with their own energy through a process called "bleeding." During this process, the crystal's natural colour is altered by the user's own emotional state and alignment with the light or dark side of the Force. Jedi typically have blue or green lightsabers, while Sith tend to have red ones. However, there are exceptions to these generalizations, and some Jedi or Sith have been known to wield lightsabers of different colours. In addition to the traditional colours, there are several other colours of lightsabers that have been introduced in the Star Wars canon. For example, purple lightsabers are associated with the Jedi Mace Windu, and are said to be a symbol of his unique connection to the Force. Yellow lightsabers have been used by Jedi Temple Guards and other members of the Jedi Order who specialize in non-combat roles, while white lightsabers are typically used by Force users who have purified red Kyber crystals.
Overall, the colour of a lightsaber is determined by the Kyber crystal that powers it, and can be influenced by the user's emotional state and alignment with the light or dark side of the Force. The specific colour of a lightsaber can also carry symbolic or cultural significance within the Star Wars universe and if you wish to know more I have attached a picture above for your enjoyment and interests.

Star Wars: How Was The Universe Made?

May the fourth month be with us all, I recently did a blog on the popularity of the mandalorians, and now I am back to explain or rather just think out loud about how the universe of STAR WARS was created from both the series aspect to the actual in series universe. So if this sounds at all interesting continue.

THE CREATION OF A MOVIE PHENOMENON!
In 1977 a little film was made I'm not sure if you know of it, but it was called Star Wars, and it came from the mind of the brilliant visionary known as George Skywalker errr, I mean George Lucas! There that's the name! George had the idea for a space opera inspired by classic movie serials and mythology, and spent several years developing the story and the characters. Lucas had trouble finding a studio willing to finance the film, but eventually secured funding from 20th Century Fox. The movie was filmed in England, primarily at Elstree Studios, and featured groundbreaking special effects by Industrial Light and Magic, a company founded by Lucas specifically for the film. ILM used a combination of practical effects, such as models and puppetry, and newly developed computer technology to create the movie's iconic visuals.

The cast included relatively unknown actors such as Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford, as well as veteran performers like Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing. The music was composed by John Williams, who created a memorable and instantly recognizable score. Star Wars was a massive hit, grossing over $775 million worldwide and becoming one of the most successful and influential films in history. It spawned two sequels, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, as well as numerous films, television shows, books, comics, and video games. The franchise is now owned by Disney and continues to expand with new movies and television series. The fictional history of the Star Wars universe spans thousands of years, but he franchises itself is just over 40 years old!
Fictional History time now
So from what I know and understand the SW universe started pretty much like our own BUT with Midi-Chlorians attached to all living things essentially as this is where the Force originates and lives and thrives from the dawn of time. Mineral matter formed on a planet known as Illum and this is where the lightsaber crystals come from. Species are born and evolve on different planets as time proceeds forward as all things evolve over time. Etherial world of Mortis is the home of the Father, Son & Daughter force users. 100,000 BBY (Battle Before Yavin) city construction begins on Coruscant. Post hyperspace travel happens in 30,000 BBY. As you can tell, the fictional history of the Star Wars universe spans thousands of years, with various eras and events that have shaped its mythology. Here is a brief overview of the major eras and events in the Star Wars timeline:

The Old Republic era (25,000BBY - 1000BBY)
This era spans thousands of years before the events of the Star Wars films. It is characterized by the rule of the Galactic Republic, the Jedi Order, and the centuries-long conflict between the Jedi and the Sith.

The Rise of the Empire era (32 BBY - 0BBY)
This era is the setting of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. It was marked by the rise of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who manipulated events behind the scenes to engineer the downfall of the Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire.

The Rebellion era (0BBY - 4ABY)
This era is the setting of the original Star Wars trilogy. It follows the struggle of the Rebel Alliance to overthrow the Empire and restore freedom to the galaxy. ABY stands for After Battle Yavin.

The Sequel trilogy era (34ABY - 35ABY)
This era is the setting of the most recent Star Wars films, which take place decades after the events of the original trilogy. It follows the story of the Resistance and the First Order, as well as the emergence of new heroes and villains in the struggle for the fate of the galaxy.

Overall, the Star Wars universe has a rich and complex mythology that spans thousands of years of galactic history, with numerous eras, events, and characters that have shaped the story and continue to inspire new stories and adventures.
