Star Wars wasn’t initially that successful, but as the years passed, the franchise became a cult classic, attracting generations of fans and now encompassing nine main continuity movies, video games, several TV shows, comic books and a variety of merchandise that made George Lucas famous. When George Lucas launched the franchise in 1977, with the movie Star Wars (later titled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope for continuity reasons), no one expected that it would become one of the biggest stories of the modern area.

And although Disney wants us to consider a new canon, many fans – us included – still refer to the Legends universe for more precise information on how the whole universe evolved and it is there that we are going to search for the answer to today’s question – who was the first Jedi ever?Īccording to the Legends universe, the first Jedi ever was Prime Jedi, who founded the Jedi Order around 25,000 BBY (before the Battle of Yavin) on the planet of Anch-To. The expanded Legends universe, although now not considered to be part of the canon anymore, gives a great insight into the ancient history of the franchise, long before it – narratively – started with The Phantom Menace. The history of George Lucas’ Star Wars universe is by far one of the most interesting fictional histories ever.
