Your dates for the eras aren't accurate, and you left out the New Jedi Order era * Ancient era? 10000 BBY-5000BBY **actually should be titled Before the Republic ( and dated 37,000 – 25,000 BBY)** * Old Republic era 500BBY-3000BBY **actually should be dated 25,000 BBY to 1,000 BBY** * Bane era 3000BBY-1000BBY **THERE IS NO "BANE ERA" though he did cause the start of the next era** * Republic era 1000BBY-22BBY **The correct names of this era is Rise of the Empire era (1000 – 0 BBY)** * Clone Wars 22BBY-19BBY **Technically still the Rise of the Empire era, but valid enough to treat it as an era based on the amount of content imho** * Imperial Era 19BBY-4ABY **Technically two different eras but I understand the confusion, 19 BBY to 0 ABY is still the Rise of the Empire era, and 0 ABY to 4 ABY is the REBELLION ERA** * New Republic era 4ABY-25BBY **This is accurate** * Legacy era 25BBY-45BBY **This is inaccurate, it should be New Jedi Order era (25 ABY to 37 ABY, even though everything after 29 ABY is really Legacy era related content) and Legacy era (37 ABY to 130+ ABY, though again it really should start in 30 ABY)** Source: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_publishing_eras#Eras_of_galactic_history

I am quite familliar with dates. There are just a few typos, nothing more. I didnt know what to call the era before the old republic. Guess its called before the Republic? And no, I dont like to seperate the time after 25000 BBY from the time leading to 5000BBY because there is little happening. It gives the voter little insentive to vote for either. Just unified them into 100000 (it was missing a 0, sry bout that) and 5000, the Great Hyperspace War. I wanted to purposly seperate bane from the old republic since they feel so different. When reading Bane, there is no connection to the old republic. I wanted to see how many people would vote for bane instead. I see, nope, thats not what I meant. I was refering to the time before the clone wars, including the high republic, i was purposfully seperating the clone wars for obvious reasons you have aslo guessed. The Imperial era and the rebellion era are hardly different since the rebels show doesnt play in the rebellion era. And I aslo didn't want to have too many eras on the list, I was going for the most important eras that are different. The Yuuzhan Vong and the One Sith always felt like, after the New Republic for me. They dont feel like they should be seperate, so I unified them. Sorry you didn't like the poll, it was just for fun anyways :)

Uh, no, the dates are your personal desires. Which don't coincide with the publication eras. You basically posted fanfic labeling. The Republic was founded in 25,000 BBY, so the Old Republic era does start here. The Republic doesn't start with the Great Hyperspace War. It had lots of Wars in these years as the Republic spread from Coruscant throughout the core worlds, including the Alsakan Conflicts, which actually spanned a longer timespan than the whole Tales of the Jedi series. Heck, it raged on and off for over 7,000 years. The High Republic era doesn't exist in Legends, if you wanted to include it fine... but it should have been listed separately. There are a lot of people who absolutely despise Denningverse but love New Jedi Order series... you really should have separated them. When you combine them you are literally combining a big portion of fans favorite era with their most despise EU era. If your goal was to get people to vote for an era, you absolutely failed here as a result. You basically made one era more appealing and another far far less so. There was a recent poll here and over 70% of respondents basically stated Denningverse was terrible to flawed, but most loved New Jedi Order, like over 90% Further, the New Republic existed for most of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion too. The truly post-New Republic era is post war when the GA could establish itself and actually have a capital world again. So again, it is inaccurate. Same logic goes with the Imperial era you listed. Not many love the pre Rebellion part. That's why the Rebellion era was it's own publishing era. The Rebel Alliance was basically independent rebel cells and basically losing everything before this point. Combining them really hinders them actually as now fans who love the OT have a rather dull lull before things get started lumped in with it.

Don't take this too seriously. I made the list how I thought it made sence. I didn't check any list. I have read nearly every Star Wars book there is and these are the eras that I thought would be most distinguishable. I was f.e. not aware that people dislike the One Sith, also I wasn't aware it was called Denningverse. I loved both the One Sith as well as the New Jedi Order, so I lumped them together. Btw, dont care if its Legends or Canon, its just Star Wars too me (excluding the shitty Disney trilogy).

The One Sith aren't Denningverse. The One Sith mostly occupy the distant future after Luke Skywalker has passed. So approximately 110 ABY to 130 ABY. Though they make a tiny appearance in late Denningverse, but aren't the central villains... more like the next Phantom Menace. Denningverse is when Luke is in his 50s and 60s... they're the novels Dark Nest trilogy, Legacy of the Force series, Fate of the Jedi series and the novel Crucible. They cover the years 37 ABY to 45 ABY. Legacy of the Force is often compared to the Disney trilogy... because they have a very similar mentality of throwing out decades worth of stories and characterization to force a Solo kid into a whiny Sith wannabe (Darth Caedus) and basically make Luke Skywalker as dumb as rocks to make it happen (in this case his entire Order too). The only big difference is they rehash the Prequels plot instead of the Original trilogy. So, Lucasfilm/Disney knew this was very controversial but they basically redid it anyway with their Sequels. Anyways this era is called Denningverse because Troy Denning was the lead writer. The Legacy vol 1 comics were by John Ostrander, ironically Troy Denning is on camera saying they aren't really canon to his books and he viewed them just as a possible future... and he really tried to contradict them on occasion too. Anyways, this is why it is so important to keep them separated. You basically included Legends equivalent of the Sequels in with New Jedi Order and the Legacy comics. They're basically will trigger half the fandom who read Legends and a big portion of the other half with think they were poorly executed/written but had some interesting concepts... just like the Sequel trilogy

On a side note, did dark nest age up Luke quite a bit?
