![]() ![]() “The Phantom Menace” takes place more than 30 years before this battle. ![]() ![]() Many “Star Wars” diehards mark the passage of time in the galaxy by the Battle of Yavin, the fateful fight in “A New Hope” in which the first iteration of the Death Star is destroyed. Omitted from this timeline are anthology series like “Star Wars Visions.” These details are pulled from the official “Star Wars” resources “Ultimate Star Wars” and “Star Wars Character Encyclopedia,” as well as experts from outlets like USA Today and the AV Club. Worry not, padawans: CNN has laid out a comprehensive timeline of the “ Star Wars” canon so you can follow all of the franchise’s time-jumps without getting lost in space. “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One,” itself a prequel to “A New Hope.” And the forthcoming Disney+ series “The Acolyte” takes place hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga. “The Mandalorian” is set between the original film trilogy and the latest sequels. The problem? All the stories take place at different points of time in the galaxy far, far away. “ Star Wars” fans have much to look forward to in terms of new content. ![]()

Though women-centric, we welcome all beings interested in using their esoteric powers to destroy the Patriarchy and all its constraints on women, men, and everybody in between or beyond. Taking a more historic approach to the concept of Witches, we channel the spirit of the those who have been persecuted as part of a thinly veiled systemic oppression of feminine power. ✨ Join our Discord coven ✨Ĭan I be a Witch if I don't actually believe in anything?

Six months after the publication of Jonathan Strange in 2004, when she was 44, she passed out at a dinner party and hasn’t been well since. “We arrived back at the hotel and we just drank camomile tea and flopped.”Īs she explained in a tearful acceptance speech, this was a book she thought she would never be able to write.

The first, of course, was Elena’s story amongst the vineyards, but for book two I moved the story to the streets of Paris where art scene and cabarets flourished at the end of the Belle Époque period. I also had this idea to sync my magic system with quintessential aspects of turn-of-the-century France-wine, art, and perfume. So…I had to come up with a plan, and the most appealing to me was the continued story of the three women who meet in the witch’s prison and the sisterhood of magic they form as a result. ![]() I didn’t have a grand plan for continuing the story beyond that original plot, but once the novel had been acquired by the publisher and received some positive in-house feedback, my editor asked for two more novels. I initially wrote The Vine Witch as a stand-alone novel. ![]() ![]() Sara knows that if she steps onto the road, she might not come back.
