The Age of Rebellion Era of Star Wars Explained in Under a Minute | Star Wars Explained

Report from the Holocron of Xela. Description: The Age of Rebellion era of Star Wars begins with the leadup to the Battle of Yavin, the destruction of the Death Star, and takes us through the Battle of Jakku and the end of the Galactic Civil War five years later, making it the shortest era of the timeline. But that doesn’t stop it from having more *stories* than any other era. After the destruction of Alderaan and the Rebel victory at the Battle of Yavin, more star systems rise up against the Empire. Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, the children of Darth Vader rise to prominence during this time. Leia cements herself as a primary leader of the Rebel Alliance and a symbol of hope. Luke learns the ways of the Force, becoming a full fledged Jedi Knight after confronting his father, bringing Anakin Skywalker back to the light side of the Force. Darth Sidious and his Empire are both defeated in the Battle of Endor. Imperial leadership lashes out in vicious attacks across the galaxy in what they call Operation Cinder. Their devastation continues for an entire year until the Empire finally officially surrenders at the Battle of Jakku. However, some governors and warlords refuse to give up, carving off pieces of the galaxy as their own territory. This part of the timeline is, of course, defined by the original Star Wars trilogy as well as the many books, comics, and video games that take place in between those films. #starwars
