OldRepublic

Old Republic refers to a fictional historical period within the Star Wars universe. This era predates the events of the Skywalker Saga by thousands of years, offering a rich backdrop for numerous stories and characters. The Old Republic is characterized by the existence of the Galactic Republic, a governing body that, at this time, was far more powerful and expansive than in later eras. The Jedi Order also held a prominent position, acting as guardians of peace and justice across the galaxy, often engaging in conflicts with various dark side users and external threats.

The most significant element of the Old Republic era is the perpetual struggle between the Jedi and the Sith. Unlike the more covert operations of the Sith in later periods, the Sith Lords of the Old Republic often openly challenged the Jedi and the Republic, leading to galaxy-spanning wars. These conflicts, such as the Great Sith War or the Jedi Civil War, shaped the political landscape and the very fabric of the galaxy. The period also saw the rise and fall of numerous powerful individuals, both within the Jedi and Sith orders, as well as from independent factions. The lore of the Old Republic is primarily explored through video games, novels, and comic books, providing a deep and complex history that expands the Star Wars mythology beyond the main film series. It's a time of grand-scale battles, complex political intrigue, and the enduring conflict between light and darkness.
