DiamanteLouco Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I sure will want to rolleplay while playing, so here´s a question once I´m not a in-depht fan of Star Wars (don´t gemme wrong, I REALLY like the movies, but I don´t go too beyond that) so, I want to know how much time since Palpatine took control... So I can know if an adult (like everyone will be) actually presencied this took-over? Or if just the older people remember this happening and the "playing generation" born with the empire already controlling everthing... And once we´re talking about years, every race grow alike? Like, humans can live in average 60-80 years, a wookie live that much either? Sorry to disturb you with these questions, but I´m sure a hardcore fan out there will know at least where I can look for the answers! ^^ Tks!

Thew Rydur Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Epsiode 1 took place about 40 years before A New Hope, and Episode 2 took place ten years after that. I believe Eps. 3 will take place 2 or 3 years after Eps. 2. So, I'd guess that a character who was around during Palpatine's take over would be pretty old. For the age thing, Wookies live quite a long time. Chewbacca was 200 in ANH. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 The timeline is (roughly): Ep. I: 32 BBY Ep. II: 22 BBY Ep. III: 19-20 BBY Ep. IV: 0 Ep. V: 3 ABY Ep. VI: 4 ABY That is as close as you get it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamanteLouco Posted February 14, 2003 Author Share Posted February 14, 2003 Helps a lot thanks! =) This is really useful info, specially when chosing a faction, I mean, a guy who is manipulated by the empire propaganda honestly hate Jedis and Rebels, but a guy who actually saw the killing with his own eyes has reasons to hate the empire...

Deft Aklin Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Hey Jan, I always wondered why everyone referenced the Battle of Yavin for timelines. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackDove Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Originally posted by Darth_Sidious Hey Jan, I always wondered why everyone referenced the Battle of Yavin for timelines. Just curious. Most likely because a) A New Hope was the first movie and the battle of yavin is the most famous, or b) the battle of yavin is when the tide changes O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 You see, I would do it differently: Ep. I: -10 BIR Ep. II: -3 BIR Ep. III: 0 BIR Ep. IV:19-20 IR Ep. V: 23 IR Ep. VI: 24 IR Where IR=Imperial Rule and BIR=Before Imperial Rule Of course, what else would you expect from a die hard Imperial lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sounds Risky Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 Also, Diamante, the plural of Jedi is Jedi. Just so you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith 8 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 you know i calculated the time between certain movies.. and i say that ep 3 is 4 years after ep 2. and 18 years before ep 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Gaarni Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 Well, that may very well turn out to be true in the end, Wraith. We just don't know for sure yet. But Rick McCallum said they were undecided of 2-3 years between Ep. II and III, so I'm going with that. - But your're right about the 18 years. I should have said 18-19, not 19-20.

Can-able Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 One more point Palpatine did not become a true Emporere until he disolved the last bit of the old rebublic witch was the remains of the senete. Witch is right at the begginging of a new Hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
