    So depending on who wrote the line and script, a generation could be 20 or 40 or 100 years.

    Not to mention a generation in the movie world context could be any number of years... don't force users live longer lives in general? or space humans? A generation yard stick might be different, though I doubt it is.
    Wikipedia defines it as 30 years. A generation is varied yes, but it isn't 100 as a generation is determined by how long to til reproduction average. How many 100 year olds do you see reproducing? Also, given that Star Wars year is the same as an Earth year (Coruscant year is 365 days and is used as the galactic standard). Also, Humans are the most plentiful species in Star Wars, so it is likely what is used to define a generation.

    There are three types of generations. Given it is unlikely Obi-Wan was talking about Familial, it is either Biological (the one described above) or Societal which we have no measure for in Star Wars (these are things like Boomers, Millennials, etc).

    I'd prefer they just open up Space a bit more and portray the events of the new trilogy (Resistance vs First Order) as an entirely regional thing that didn't impact on the lives of most star systems much. I haven't seen the new one yet, so not sure how much it drags the core worlds into things.

    Mandalorean is in one area, First Order is in another. Even if they were similar timeframe, no reason they need to interact.

    It doesn't. It's almost all new planets, and they're mostly backwater.

    Isn't Coruscant etc gone?

    Starkiller destroyed the Hosnian system, which apparently had the New Republic Senate and fleet and stuff. Not sure why they'd keep everything in one system, but meh. Coruscant is pretty far away, but is amusingly closer to Starkiller than Hosnian Prime is...

    I would like to think that the New Republic could recover from losing a single system pretty quickly since manufacturing and stuff would be scattered, but it wasn't important to the movies (just the worlds slowest chase scene and untold numbers of hidden star destroyers).

    To be fair, TROS didn't advance the time line any further than TLJ. Both happen within months of TFA. It can all be explained as people are still trying to come in terms with Hosnian to rebuild and mount a counter offense against the First Order.

    Apparently the First Order hadn't established control over all of the New Republics territory yet - mostly due to time and logistics though. The Final Order was the last phase of the plan that would have 100% defeated the New Republic.

    kind of puts the aftermath of TROS in a weird place...all of the Sith and Imperial cultist still remain. in universe history says its a bad idea to let them remain idle. Who knows what they might get into without a Sith to worship? Absolute chaos?

    She did say in one of the episodes that she worked her mando armor to fit her style.

    I'd rather have a Vader/Emperor duo series based off Lords of the Sith.

    Not everything. Bane was made canon with Clone Wars and Revan soon after.

    Revan wasn't made canon until The Rise of Skywalker and it's only his name used. There's no actual story about him yet aside from his name in passing in the Visual Dictionary.

    I'm like 70% sure that Revan was canon by name a few years back in one of the cartoons, probably Clone Wars. TROS named a bunch of other Sith Lords though.

    Clone Wars was originally going to include Darth Revan as a force ghost but it was from an episode that was in early production when the series was cancelled.

    Looks like Filoni cut Revan in CW to appease Lucas. Before Disney bought SW. I expect to see/read more Revan before a KOTOR era movie.
