Appearance
Star Wars
The Star Wars universe spans thousands of years of galactic history, told through:
- 9 main films forming the Skywalker Saga,
- 2 standalone films (Rogue One, Solo),
- multiple live-action series (The Mandalorian, Andor, Ahsoka, etc.),
- animated series that deeply expand the lore (The Clone Wars, Rebels, The Bad Batch...),

Star Wars keeps evolving, exploring new timelines like the High Republic or Dawn of the Jedi, with a wide range of tones: epic, mystical, political, action, and character-driven stories.
🎬 Films
Star Wars films are divided into three main categories:
- The main saga (Episodes I–IX) follows the rise, fall, and legacy of the Skywalker family.
- The standalone films (Rogue One, Solo) focus on side stories and key events.
- Several new films are in development, including ones centered on Rey Skywalker, Grogu, and the ancient Jedi origins.
