A Discovery of Witches is coming back for season 2, and here's how to watch
Matthew Goode's back on the box in A Discovery of Witches.The Sky original drama stars Downton Abbey's Matthew Goode as Professor Matthew Clairmont, plus Warm Bodies and Lights Out star Teresa Palmer as reluctant witch Diana Bishop, who's teased drama ahead that's "steamy in all the good ways".
It's not too controversial to say the Star Wars timeline has a bit complicated. The franchise is rapidly expanding, too, and there are even more movies (and TV shows) coming soon, so where will they fit into the Star Wars timeline?
© Provided by Total Film The Star Wars timeline When the late, great Carrie Fisher was once asked what order the movies should be watched in, her response was: "Watch the ones that I'm in… Then you can do whatever you want." While you're more than welcome to follow Fisher's advice, we've put a bit more thought into our timeline of events. As well as the movies, we've included TV shows like The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars, as well as canon from the novels and comic books. We've also delved into Star Wars lore to incorporate all the important events that have occurred in between movies and off-screen. So, read on for our comprehensive Star Wars timeline of all the events in the galaxy far, far away.
Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead might have a huge Justice League Easter egg
The upcoming zombie flick seems to have an important Snyder Cut cameoIn a picture released via Entertainment Weekly, the main characters of Army of the Dead can be seen entering a vault of some kind. Alongside piles of cash, there appears to be something very familiar on the left-hand side of the image. Could that be the Snyder Cut itself? Check out the pictures below for a comparison.
We should note that, although this is a comprehensive Star Wars timeline, we have not included absolutely every event. Does anybody really need to know when Dexter Jettster opened his diner on Coruscant? Our timeline deals with all the major events from the movies and shows, and touches upon some of the major comic-books and novels included within the canon. We have also listed which movie/TV show/book each event appears in just in case you want to go back and see The Trade Federation deciding to blockade Naboo…
As for the calendar, everything in the Star Wars galaxy is dated relative to the Battle of Yavin, where Luke Skywalker blew up the first Death Star. So Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, which takes place 19 years ahead of Star Wars: A New Hope, is set 19 years Before the Battle of Yavin (in 19 BBY). Meanwhile, Star Wars: The Force Awakens takes place 34 years After the Battle of Yavin (in 34 ABY). Now that all that's taken care of, let's start with an at-a-glance guide to the Star Wars timeline.

The coming of age comedy-drama follows two teens through their sophomore year of high school. Brad (Judge Reinhold) is the older brother of protagonist Stacy (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and Cage is his nameless ‘bud’. The screenplay was written by Almost Famous director Cameron Crowe.

Scarlett Johansson – North
In 1994, nine-year-old Scarlett Johansson made her film debut with a small part in Rob Reiner’s comedy-adventure North.

In the movie, child prodigy North (played by Wood) ‘divorces’ his parents and sets out on a mission to find new ones. However, Johansson went onto bigger and better things and she’s been the world’s highest paid female actor since 2018.

Luckily, Grogu's call to the Jedi is heard, and Luke Skywalker saves the day. Skywalker then takes Grogu away to be trained as a Jedi. (The Mandalorian)

35 ABY - With Snoke vanquished, an old evil returns... Palpatine. The Emperor has been building a huge Sith army all these years, and they have been awoken on Exegol, a Sith stronghold in the uncharted area of the galaxy.
The Resistance has made some headway in their fight back against the First Order, who have now rebranded themselves the Final Order under Palpatine's leadership. Kylo goes on the hunt for Rey, the granddaughter of Palpatine. When they meet, Rey stabs Kylo with a lightsaber but uses the Force to keep him alive. General Leia passes as she helps keep Kylo, her son, alive.
After Rey discovers the location of Exegol, she travels there in Luke Skywalker's old X-Wing. She lays trackers so that the Resistance can follow her there. She then confronts her grandfather, while the Resistance, who – with the help of Lando – have brought together an army filled with people who despise the Final Order.
Palpatine soon has the upper hand on Rey, wanting her to "strike him down" so the Sith can live on in her. However, Kylo Ren comes to help, and the pair attack Palpatine. The Emperor overpowers them and takes their life-force. All the fallen Jedi then come to Rey and help her overthrow Palpatine, and he is disintegrated.
The galaxy celebrates victory over the Final Order. Rey buries Luke and Leia's lightsabers on Tatooine. The two suns set. Balance is restored. (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker)
