STAR WARS, EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE
Obi-Wan Kenobi, now almost a full Jedi Knight, meets and trains young pilot Anakin Skywalker to become a Jedi Knight with the aid of Master Qui-Gon Jinn, who frees Anakin from slavery on Tatooine. (Sadly,
Anakin's mother Shmi is killed in the rescue.) Jinn, Kenobi and Skywalker are called into helping save
Princess Padme Amidala's planet, Naboo, which is under attack from the Nimoudian Trade Federation, using war droids and aided by the Sith. The Nimoudians (including the Sith Lord Darth Maul) are defeated by the Jedi, with the help of Jar-Jar Binks and the Gungan race, and Padme is crowned Queen.
Meanwhile, the Old Republic is in a state of corruption and decline. Using dishonest means, Senator
Palpatine of Naboo is elected President of the Republic, replacing Espaa Valorum, and begins covertly
destroying the Jedi Knights and consolidating his power.

The Clone Wars continue, as cloning technology developed to save the dying Naboo race is stolen and used
by Mandalorian warriors, under the secret orders of the Sith and President Palpatine. The Jedi Knights
use all of their resources to defeat the Mandalorians, several of whom (including Boba Fett?) escape
justice. The Jedi are left badly weakened and depleted.
Palpatine, who has managed to eliminate almost all of his political enemies, begins to corrupt Anakin
Skywalker, who marries Queen Padme. Mon Mothma becomes the last Senior Senator, and with Bail
Organa attempts to stabilize the Republic.
Conjecture from evidence from all Star Wars stories. It had originally been dated 45 BSW4 in the
earlier version of this timeline, based upon the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. But this new
date is the date to be used in the upcoming SW I, II, and III (George Lucas, Harry Knowles'
"Ain't-it-cool-news", April 24, 1997).
It has been speculated by some that the Outbound Flight's failure was the catalyst for the war, but this
cannot be cleared up until Episode II is released.

STAR WARS, EPISODE III: FALL OF THE JEDI
Fighting alongside future Viceroy of Alderaan Bail Prestor Organa, General Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin
Skywalker are instrumental in the successful victory for the Old Republic in the Clone Wars.
Citing the increasingly unstable situation of the Republic, Palpatine declares himself Emperor. The
Republic is renamed the Galactic Empire, the Senate is scaled down in power, and Palpatine begins a
massive build-up of the military. He also steps up the extermination of the Jedi Knights, perhaps with the
aid of Mandalorian warriors (including Boba Fett?), certainly with the aid of the Sith. He orders that all
Jedi be exterminated for a Clone Wars-related atrocity they did not commit (he did). He also orders that
all mention of the Jedi in galactic records be erased, as well as Jedi relics. He officially renames Coruscant "Imperial Center."
Now entirely corrupted, Anakin Skywalker renounces his name and renames himself Darth Vader,
becoming Palpatine's right hand man and put in charge of killing the Jedi. Obi-Wan Kenobi battles him to
attempt to win him back (on Horuz?), only succeeding in hideously injuring Vader by throwing him into
either a lava pit or vat of molten liquid. Encased in body armor and an artificial respiration system, Vader
redoubles his evil efforts.
Unbeknownest to him, his twin children, Luke and Leia, are born. Kenobi and Padme act to hide the
children from Vader and Palpatine. Leia is taken by Padme to Alderaan, where she is adopted by Viceroy
Bail Organa and raised as his daughter. Luke is taken by Kenobi to Tatooine (with a brief stop-over at
Dagobah), where Luke is raised by Kenobi's brother Owen Lars. Kenobi himself goes into hiding in the
Jundland Wastes of Tatooine.
Evidence from all Star Wars stories.
The Dagobah stopover is based on Luke's line in SW V that Dagobah seemed somehow familiar to him.
Bail's middle name of Prestor is from the SW Radio Drama Script.
