This is an overview of the complete Star Wars story so far with movies ( 
) and TV shows ( ) and games ( ) and when they take place.
To follow this properly, you’re going to need to understand two acronyms – BBY (before the Battle of Yavin) and ABY (after the Battle of Yavin).
Yavin IV, also known as Yavin, was the jungle-covered fourth moon in orbit around the red gas giant Yavin Prime. Prior to and during the Galactic Civil War, it hosted the headquarters of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, a group of resistance fighters that opposed the dominant Galactic Empire. Following a major battle that took place around Yavin, which Alliance leaders saw as their first major victory against the Galactic Empire, this battle was used to number years in the galactic history for some time during the Galactic Civil War. The Battle of Yavin is “year zero” in this system.
BBY dates count down to that event, and ABY count up from it. Congratulations! Now you’re a little bit more of a Star Wars nerd than you were before.
