Disney Updates Star Wars Website to Include The Old Republic Era
Disney has made an exciting update to the Star Wars website, providing fans with a detailed breakdown of the different eras in the Star Wars universe. One of the notable additions is The Old Republic era, which has long been a beloved part of Star Wars lore.
The Old Republic: A Forgotten Era
The Old Republic era takes place 4,000 years before the rise of the Galactic Empire. This era was initially explored in the popular game “Knights of the Old Republic” developed by BioWare. It introduced fans to a new and formidable character called Revan, who has since become canonized in “The Rise of Skywalker.”
Despite its significance in Star Wars history, The Old Republic era has yet to be featured in any film or TV projects. However, its inclusion on the official Star Wars website suggests that there may be something on the horizon.
Other Unexplored Eras
In addition to The Old Republic era, the Star Wars website also highlights other eras that have not yet been explored in depth. These include Dawn of the Jedi, which takes place 25,000 years before “A New Hope,” and the New Jedi Order, set 15 years after “The Rise of Skywalker.”
Two upcoming films are set to delve into these unexplored eras. Director James Mangold’s film will take us back to the earliest point in the Star Wars timeline, during the Dawn of the Jedi era. Another film, directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, will feature the return of Daisy Ridley’s Rey in the New Jedi Order era.
Anticipation for The Old Republic
While there is currently little information about any upcoming projects set in The Old Republic era, the fact that it now has its own dedicated section on the official Star Wars website has sparked excitement among fans. The recent announcement of a “Knights of the Old Republic Remake” game also generated anticipation, although the development has faced some setbacks.
With Disney’s commitment to expanding the Star Wars universe, it seems likely that we will eventually see a film or TV project set in The Old Republic era. Fans eagerly await any news regarding the development of such a project.
Conclusion
The inclusion of The Old Republic era on the official Star Wars website is a promising sign for fans. While there are currently no specific projects announced, the dedicated section suggests that Disney is actively considering exploring this beloved era in the Star Wars universe. As fans eagerly await further updates, the anticipation for a film or TV project set in The Old Republic era continues to grow.
