The Star Wars Canon Timeline Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

John joins Elysia to talk through not only his thoughts about the finale of The Acolyte, and the season as a whole – but also how the show is being received throughout the community. (And how grateful we all are to have some respectful discourse from fans.) Along the way we discuss everything from the complexities of social work to the pros and cons of that Imri Cantaros theory going around.

(Stay tuned to the Lorehounds and Canon Padawan feeds for a spoiler-filled season wrap-up episode coming soon as well!)

In the first of two episodes dedicated to dissecting the season finale, Elysia walks you through a recap of everything that happened in "The Acolyte" – episode 8 in the series of the same name – zooming in on key details you might have missed and mining the lore for what it all means. Including, of course, everything you need to know about that creeper in the cave Darth Plagueis.

We're less than a week away from the biggest new addition to Star Wars since the sequel trilogy – The Acolyte TV show on Disney+ will be the first live-action project to take place on a new portion of the timeline, at the end of the High Republic era, 100 years before the prequel trilogy.

Bob and Elysia will fill you in on what to expect, from the main characters to potential familiar faces that might pop up, breaking down our thoughts about witches, lightsaber lore, and what we know about the secret Sith at this point in Star Wars history.

This double-episode tackles the first season of the animated series for Young Jedi Adventures, looking at this pre-school-targeted High Republic show from two angles:

Bob and Elysia break down the characters, plot, key crossovers and locations and other lore – but take a break for Elysia to check in with professional animator (and father of a small child) Hjalti for animation analysis and general Star Wars questions – before Bob rejoins Elysia to close the conversation with a look at the plot, how this show fits into the wider events of the era, and hopes for the future of these characters.

There's one property set in the High Republic that, after delivering a knock-out trailer, people have been talking about for years: the game Star Wars: Eclipse. But it's still years away from release! In this double-mini-episode, Elysia sits down first with DeadeyeJediBob to listen to the audio description version and talk lore, and then Marcin to break it down from a game-industry angle – what should we keep in mind about the developer, and what kind of game should we expect?

This episode is for both gamers and people who are just curious how the game industry works. And for lore-fiends, always.

Elysia wanders off the Canon path, this time with the help of Marcin, to talk about one of the most important and beloved series in the history of Star Wars games: The Knights of the Old Republic, The Knights of Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and The Old Republic MMO.

We summarize the plots (full spoilers), the gameplay, and what makes these games so special – plus the lore that already has or probably will make the leap to Canon status. There's even bonus talk about the evolution of Star Wars gaming since the '90s, and previews of gaming coverage to come.

This is an episode for both deep fans of the games and people who never play games at all.

Elysia is joined by professional animator Hjalti and Sith aficionado Marcin to talk through 3 episodes of the global animated anthology series Star Wars: Visions that – if they were Canon – would be set in the Old Republic, starting in the height of the Jedi-Sith Civil War, and ending after the Rule of Two.

All from season 2, in chronological order: episode 5 – "Journey to the Dark Head," episode 1 – "Sith," and episode 2 – "Screecher's Reach."

We talk about the unique art styles, the Sith (and Star Wars) philosophies being explored, and cool new uses of the Force that we hope make it to Canon, shouting out design and other Easter eggs along the way.

DeadeyeJediBob joins Elysia to sort Canon from Legends in the era of the Old Republic – one of the coolest and most fantastical eras of Star Wars lore, dominated by the Jedi-Sith Civil Wars, the Mandalorians, and other intriguing groups of Force users and non-Force users.

Join us as we talk Darth Bane and the Rule of Two, Force witches, and failed Wookie impressions while covering 24,000 years of Star Wars history.

In this flashback episode (backdated to fit into the right moment on the timeline), Elysia talks listeners through two ancient myths of the planet Batuu – considered Canon – from a difficult-to-find special edition story collection.

She is then joined by DeadeyeJediBob to discuss potential updates on the Dawn of the Jedi movie – or should be now say Jedi Prime – and talk through their first batch of feedback about the first era of Star Wars history.

Finally, Elysia wraps it up with a mini-dive into the nature of the Force itself, with quotes from Canon and Legends media.
