The Clone Wars rage for many years, ending with the purge of the Jedi Order and the rise of the Empire.
4 Age Of Rebellion The Era Of The Star Wars Original Trilogy Close The first signs of rebellion are small and scattered but quickly grow into a Rebel Alliance. Luke Skywalker is set on his Jedi path, and after destroying the Death Star, he becomes the galaxy's new hope. The Galactic Civil War rages for several years until the Emperor is defeated at the Battle of Endor, and the galaxy celebrates its newfound freedom.
