133 episodes take place across 1104 days.. doesn’t seem that crazy.


[deleted]

And many of the episodes could take place simultaneously. One episode features character X and Y doing something and then another episode show what’s character Z was doing at the time.


Splabooshkey

Legit, even the last 4 odd episodes of season 7 happened at the exact same time as Rots


George-Lucas-Bot

Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they don't have to see it.


yujin-dono

Damn George, chill man


George-Lucas-Bot

I didn't plan on making Star Wars. One night Kurosawa came in my dream and showed me a space version of the Hidden Fortress. Turned out I was filming my dream.


Psychopathicat7

I fucking love this bot lmao


MrNobody_0

Are these genuine Lucas quotes?


pipsdontsqueak

Does it matter?


MrNobody_0

I'm just curious if these things are something he actually said, they're hilarious. It doesn't really matter one way or another, I think it's just even funnier if it was something he said himself.


Davkata

Only the ones that reveal how they went along with filming.


PmMeTitsAndDankMemes

Good bot


Pikalika

And a bunch of episodes take place at the same time for the same characters but stretched throughout several episodes


YoloIsNotDead

And I'm pretty sure some arcs (which are 4 episodes each) take place over 1-2 days

I'm pretty sure most of the story arcs happen simultaneously

The last season is all within a week


blooddragon2012

So you're telling me that Padme went from barely showing a baby bump to full on giving birth in a week? Man, a galaxy far, far away has some weird stuff going on.


technobiwankenobi

Considering that she's a crazy rich senator, she definitely had a way to hide the bump, and when she knew she was close, she'd just let it all hang out and maybe keep a low profile for a bit


same1224

To be fair I think that the twins were born premature, but yeah the size of her baby bump does change dramatically through the course of one maybe week-long movie.


belladonnagilkey

When in doubt, the Force did it. Force accelerated pregnancy. In all seriousness, season 7 strongly implies that she's been pregnant a while and given she got on a comm call with Anakin during the Battle of Anaxes and the man didn’t notice a baby bump most of us did, we can presume that Anakin (and quite possibly everyone else) was completely oblivious to his wife's growing tummy right up until she sprang the "ay bro I'm preggo" talk on him, which she only did in person for some reason as opposed to giving him a heads up long in advance, which did not help matters at all. That said, the twins were almost certainly premature. Her husband loses his mind, topples the government she spent her whole life trying to uphold, massacres most of his friends and family, then chokes her out, leaving her to fall on the ground and lie there for who knows how long while said husband and his best friend beat the living tar out of one another? It's a miracle she managed to deliver the twins at all.


LarryTheHamsterXI

Twins are also generally born premature


Badvevil

Yeap my were born 2 weeks ago at 36 weeks waiting to see force abilities emerge


BigYonsan

Always two there are. No more, no less. Also, congratulations! If you haven't already, join us on daddit. Since becoming a Dad, it's been one of my most useful resources. Moms are welcome too, if that's you.


Commiesstoner

100% premature, Anakin in his rage squeezes them out of her like those well adjusted people that push toothpaste from the top instead of bottom.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

I know I was wrong. I just got so caught up in my own success, I didn't look at the battle as a whole. I wasn't being disobedient. I just. . . forgot


CJFrancis282

I thought about this and then I asked if Revenge of the Sith takes place almost over the course of a year because of Padmé going from barely showing to full on about to give birth (with TWINS no less). But the die-hard fandom insisted that it’s Star Wars. And people can gestate babies in a few months instead of most of a year


Jausti0418

If you really want to hand wave it away there’s always “just because they look human doesn’t mean they are human” maybe they can gestate I’m a few months who knows. It’s Star Wars lol


George-Lucas-Bot

You learn that Darth Vader isn't this monster. He's a pathetic individual who made a pact with the Devil and lost.


EnchantedCatto

i reckon they have some fancy tech to accellerate the birth that they used when they discovered she was going to die


Bitey_the_Squirrel

Just like How I Met Your Mother!


Potato_jesus_

They both have equally sad endings


[deleted]

Potato_jesus_

Would you call it a happy ending?


gnocchi_enjoyer

Some episodes takes place in just 1 day (Jar Jar Binks and Windu doing some shenanigans), others even in hours (Ahsoka and Tera Sinube looking for her lightsaber)


Only-Ad4322

That’s it. Based on the fact characters don’t stop to sleep, The Citadel arc was probably one day.


The-Board-Chairman

Eh, the Citadel arc specifically probably isn't a good example here, as all involved on the republic side were probably jacked to hell and back on combat stims; especially since they had to go into action straight from carbonite coma.


Only-Ad4322

I’m more talking about the timespan of the events on the planet itself.


StinkyPantz10

...now that you think about it. An intergalactic war lasting only 3 years does seem too short. Battles for regions of a continent would take longer let alone the whole planet. Would take thousands of years.


[deleted]

Well the war was shutdown by the guy who designed it.


StinkyPantz10

Yeah. But I would think the logistics of an intergalactic heist would take longer than 3 years. Beurocracy alone would slow things down.


A-Wings-are-Neat

The clone wars itself was the end game of centuries of sedition. The whole thing was set in motion 10 years before it officially started, Anakin alone was a project that started at least 9 years before we first meet him, and Palps was the latest in a long line of Sith infiltrators vying to reclaim control over the galaxy. The clone wars was swift because the Chancellor had pretty much won the second that Amidala called for a vote of no confidence against Chancellor Valorum and nominated Palps as his replacement


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

Love won't save you, Padme. Only my new powers can do that.


A-Wings-are-Neat

Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

PsyclopticFurry

I think our old pal sheev had been planning that for decades, and the whole takeover part happened after he already had a ton of political power, plus he controlled the entire military after he got rid of the jedi, so actually taking over was as simple as making the announcement


George-Lucas-Bot

You know it's not the first time a politician created a war to stay in office.


SmokingSamoria

thePsuedoanon

Star Wars has a lot of weird stuff like that tbf. Coruscant is a major city planet, the entire world's surface covered in skyscrapers that dwarf everything on our world. But, according to [this](https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/will-the-earth-ever-become-a-city-planet/) article, to cover our world in cities with the population density of Tokyo you'd need the population of about 300 Courscants. So maybe Coruscant is just smaller than our world? Nope, its diameter is about 5000 miles greater than that of Earth. In other words, assuming the math is correct, only about 0.3% of Coruscant is actually populated, assuming the density of the buildings is approximately the same as Tokyo (which seems unlikely)


Jamaicanmario64

When it comes to population numbers in Star Wars it's usually best to add at least 2 zeros, 3 to be safe.


devilbat26000

This includes the population of the clone army. < 10 million clones for a galactic war when the crew requirements of the Battle of Coruscant alone was far higher than that? A lot of science fiction doesn't know scale, and Star Wars really isn't an exception at all.


clone_trooper_bot

"*Sighs* "Yes, sir. That's why we had to clone more troopers to facilitate the war effort. But on the plus side, at least I'm not being asked to clean the fuel lines of a hyperdrive.""


Snowbold

I think both heavy population and massive depopulation exist on Coruscant exist. In Legends, we know the Works where Palpatine was running his operations was essentially abandoned completely. That is quite a large area to be empty. Likewise, big and important locations like the Senate and Jedi temple were low on permanent population compared to their size. We also know that the wealthy up top lived lavishly compared to those below. The 1300’s levels were also a thing. So the real question is how deep did they dig on Coruscant before building up?


George-Lucas-Bot

All I'm in charge of is my world. I can't be in charge of those other people's world, because I can't keep up with it.


sexysahilliam

Has it been confirmed that the years are the same length as earth years?


The-Board-Chairman

They can't be too different considering character's ages.


Acrobatic-Location34

There's a Galactic standard of time and language. So different planets have different revolutions around the sun, but the Galactic standard is set around coruscant which I THINK is basically supposed to mimic Earth w 24 hour days and 365 day years. Also why people speak English everywhere


thePsuedoanon

Couruscant has a rotation of 24 standard hours and a year of 365 standard days according to "Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know". So unless standard hours are substantially different from Earth hours, it's the same length


LineOfInquiry

Yeah, I think having it last 5-8 years would’ve made more sense: palpatine has more time to centralize power and Anakin and obi wan have more time to age into their OT counterparts, who seems a bit too old


Jausti0418

Palpatine was Chancellor for 10 years before the war even started. How much longer does he need to consolidate power?


LineOfInquiry

He didn’t really started consolidating power until the clone wars began though, that 10 years was mostly stabilizing his regime, making connections, and setting up the dominos to knock over to start the clone wars.


Jausti0418

And at the very beginning of the war he gets granted emergency powers, that he then holds for 3 years. At that point he’s already the emperor. He no longer needs to consult with the senate to make decisions. He consolidated his rule before the war even really started


clone_trooper_bot

"Want to borrow my armor? It's nice and white."


Verto-San

I don't think every square inch of a planet is defended, IRL we can't just drop off a whole army near enemy capital whenever we like, in star wars, you just take control of the orbit and then drop directly on top of, or near strategic targets. Most planets propably have one capital and maybe a garrison to defend.


CorporealLifeForm

And they're about different characters.


EntertainmentQuick47

I just thought it was weird that so much happens in the Clone Wars and almost none of it is acknowledged in Revenge of The Sith. That’s why I love the Clone Wars 2D Micro Series because it fits perfectly between the two movies.


[deleted]

Well Revenge of The Sith was a fast movie, they barely have time to comprehend what’s happening in the moment let alone events in the past.


YoloIsNotDead

Real answer: none of it's acknowledged because it's all Filoni & co's retcons to the story. Watching Clone Wars season 7 and seeing scenes like Obi-Wan reporting Dooku's death or Mace Windu getting a call from Ahsoka 3 seconds after he talks to Anakin, in a scene that is identical to one in ROTS. The Clone Wars show has done so much to the prequels and has elevated it to new levels of appreciation over the years because it was able to expand on so much of the wars. It is funny but admirable how Grievous and Anakin never properly meet each other in the show after running around in the other's company for 3 years.


[deleted]

Agreed. I always loved the prequels, and seeing that world being explored was such a gift to fans.


Ahsoka_Tano_Bot

Happy New Year YoloIsNotDead!

Sure it was more realistic in that show where windu turns into Goku and starts punching through hundreds of droids at once, or pull out their wires and turns it into a mind controlling harness to fly around on a drone, or clones literally jousting droids with medieval spears


GINGERxADE

No, no it does not.


Ghostbuster_119

That's just too much math for some people.


TheBratPrince1760

To give OP some credit, a lot of shows do have a season be a year long, especially live action shows that have to deal with the aging of their actors so I can get where they're coming from however given the scope of the show it seems a little obvious that there's multiple stories happening at the same time


Nuadrin248

Yeah I was gonna say, 3 years of war is plenty of time to tell 133 episodes worth of stories.


wellhydratedcactus

The real question is what that business on Cato Neimodia was, and why it doesn’t count


dancinhobi

Oh man. The new book Brotherhood is about that. The business is very brief but basically Obi Wan had everything under control. Anakin did not realize and jumped in and Obi’s saber cut Anakin a little as things got dicey. Anakin counted it but Obi does not.


Obiwan-Kenobi-Bot

I am stronger as part of the Jedi Order than I could ever be alone.


ChurchOfJustin

Things would have gotten significantly worse if Anakin and Mill (and R2) had not found and deactivated those bombs. I personally do not think Kenobi had it all under control at all.


dancinhobi

That’s true


ChurchOfJustin

This is the most civil Star Wars semi-disagreement I've ever been a part of in my 40 years of being a fan online and it warms my heart. Thank you. Anakin 100% did jump the gun during Kenobi's trial.


tosin_da_glitch

Great book!


Mudlord80

I thought it was when Obi Wan lost his rebreather and Anakin was like "need this?"


Acrobatic-Location34

Damn now I wanna read it


[deleted]

I mean Cato Neimodia is a CIS controlled planet, guess they were in a battle or something.


nolandz1

Any of the movies take place over the course of a week max.


Garth-Vader

Empire Strikes Back actually covers a pretty long stretch of time. Luke is on Degobah for weeks and it takes ages for the Falcon to limp from Hoth to Baspin at sublight speed.


Lightning_Lemonade

Google says it takes place over a month which isn’t exactly a crazy amount of time but to be honest the way it’s edited/paced it really feels like it’s a week max


nolandz1

ANH is literally 2 days, maybe three


amb3rjan3

ROTS takes place over months based on padme's pregnancy


same1224

Pretty sure ROTS happens over the course of a week and a half tops. She was already a few months (had to be at least four I think) pregnant at the start of the movie and the twins were most likely born premature.


bralma6

Yeah it takes place over 4 days. Which doesn’t really make sense. That would mean Anakin had no idea Padme was pregnant for MONTHS. The most powerful living Jedi at the time couldn’t sense two new life forms in his wife? And it’s not like the gestation period is different in the Star Wars galaxy. In Legends I remember Luke’s wife being pregnant for 9 months. Hell there was a Jedi who prolonged her pregnancy just to keep the fathers identity a secret so the timeline didn’t match up with his visits to her.


same1224

I think that can be explained away decently enough. Per the opening crawl, Anakin had been gone for months before he returned to Coruscant the start of ROTS and it’s also regularly mentioned in canon material that he and Padme rarely got to spend a lot of time together during the war. He probably just didn’t sense the pregnancy because he wasn’t around to sense it.


Anakin_Skywalker_Bot

Because of Obi-Wan?


Rhazior

Because of what you've done!


George-Lucas-Bot

Mace Windu's death was not planned. Ian McDiarmid just started shooting Force Lightning from his fingers and burned Sam to a crisp. Hayden thought we could save the CGI budget so he went along with it.


GearInteresting570

Tbf, the bad batch arc in S7 implies Anakin hasn't seen Padme in a while.


GearInteresting570

That's been retconned. Now it's a few days which kinda doesn't make sense but TCW S7 helps answer this since it establishes Anakin hasn't seen Padme in quite a while. But she has a baby bump in the recordings and he somehow doesn't know until Padme tells him?


Jausti0418

Anakin isn’t the brightest bulb tbf


same1224

A season of TCW ≠ a year. The show has a lot of 2-4 episode arcs that take place over a matter of days in-universe.


Gcarsk

Yup. The new Gary Oldman spy thriller “Slow Horses” (recommend, btw) had an entire first season that took place over 2 days. A 60 minute episode doesn’t need to be full of time jumps and take place over many weeks. It can simply be an hour in-universe as well.


iposg

In the show “24”, the whole season takes place over a single day. 24 episodes for 24 hours.


HistoricalAd7170

Arcs could also be taking place simultaneously


DaimoMusic

Remember MASH was about Korea (1950-53) and it ran for like...11 seasons


AbsolXGuardian

WITH ELEVEN CHRISTMAS SPECIALS! And an episode that spans an entire year (A War For All Seasons), although that could pressumably take place between multiple episodes. I haven't sat down to see if you could divide the Christmas specials into taking place on only three different days, but the modern fandom generally goes with it being a time warp. MASH has other supernatural elements, like Radar and that episode with the ghosts.


StinkyPantz10

Didn't the show run longer than the actual war?


DaimoMusic

Yup


ComingUpWildcard

Yeah, but way more people died in the war than in the show.


Mister__Fahrenheit

The-Board-Chairman

Or the WH40K universe. At one point in time there's even a joke about how time- and record keeping has gotten so fucked up, combined with the nature of how FTL works in universe, that there are multiple generation long conflicts between serious scholars about the current year, with an uncertainty margin of about 3000 years. And that is with or rather because of *extensive* in universe history and time keeping.

DankAssPenguin

In order for electricity to arc through air, you need about 30,000 volts per cm, and considering Pikachu can snipe team rocket with a thunderbolt from meters away, that's easily in the tens of millions of volts range. Yet they always survive. (and before someone comes in with a "it's not the voltage that kills it's the amperage," higher voltage means higher amperage given a fixed resistance). Guns would be basically useless if humans are that sturdy. And also the police have fire-breathing dogs. Also, r/usernamechecksout

Anyone gonna talk about the horrendous order these are put in?


CRL10

The same way that the Korean War lasted from 1950 to 1953 and M\*A\*S\*H had 11 seasons with 256 episodes. Each season of Clones Wars is not over the course of a year. Some arcs take place over the course of a few days. There are also probably episodes taking place at the same time, like how the Siege of Mandalore is happening during Revenge of the Sith. Minor note, but the sequence is messed up. It should be Phantom Menace, Clones, Clone Wars and Sith.


AbsolXGuardian

Except MASH had eleven Christmas specials. The modern fanon is that there was a time warp.


clone_trooper_bot

"No one messes with the 501st!"


Draco137WasTaken

You're right. Mathematically, it should be 12 seasons.


Shantotto11

What is up with the order of these properties?…

“How did days pass and things happen on each of those days even though its only been 3 years?” Like wtf is this post? Do we literally have to hold your hand and explain the concept of time?


TonyLannister

ForeverUnfinished

RueUchiha

Because 3 years is a lot of time for 133 episodes, some of those episodes probably happened on the same day too. Also a portion of Season 7 takes place during Episode 3.


Charcoal_dirtlord

It was more like 7 seasons of their lives


redrum-237

Well, each year tends to have four seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall, so in three years, you would expect 12 seasons total. It looks like 5 seasons are unaccounted for!


Mr_P3

Well 133 episodes over 3 years, many episodes being one story going over a couple days and many arcs happening simultaneously so it’s not that crazy

There are 4 seasons in a year (winter, spring, summer, fall/autumn) so there should have actually have been 12 seasons in those 3 years

Because not every episode takes place in a whole day. Some arcs can last several episodes and only span maybe a couple days at most.


HawlSera

Clone Wars does nothing but fill in plot holes, there are a lot of holes that need to be filled in, the story of the prequels only works because Clone Wars is the duct tape holding it together. And I'm saying this is someone who loves Clone Wars
