Timeline > The Rebellion

Page updated: 22nd March 2008

Events that occur from the Battle of Yavin to 1 year after the Battle of Endor.

An outcry of resistance begins to spread across the galaxy in protest to the new Empire's tyranny. Cells of Rebellion fight back, and the Galactic Civil War begins.
This era begins with the Rebel victory that secured the Death Star plans, and ends a year after the death of the Emperor high over the forest moon of Endor. The Rebellion starts to reform itself into a body of government, first as the Alliance of Free Planets, and later the New Republic.
It is during this time that the events of Episodes IV (A New Hope), V (The Empire Strikes Back) and VI (Return of the Jedi) occur.
