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.
