What was the most important event in Star Wars History

Of any Era, galactic or planetary, by anyone or anything or any group.

the change of power when palpatine in tiated order 66

The Big Bang. Before that? Nuffin'.

Well put.

Well, it's true.

Next on the list would be the invention of Hyperspace travel and discovery of the Jedi order.

You can't list the major events, they're all equal contributories.

Discovery of the Force, Hyperspace, the foundation of the Republic and Jedi, the first Jedi outcasts which would put the Galaxy into some 20 000 years of turmoil, the rise and fall of the Empire, the Yuuzhan Vong invasion.

I would actually have to say the rise and fall of the Empire.

When the whill taught the first jedi the ways of the force.

Hyperdrive invention.

Discovery of Korriban of course!
If that one was left alone, there wouldn't be massive conflicts and wars!

How exactly do you measure "most important?"

And you have to understand that history of any sort is a compounding continuum, it's not fragmented "events" that occur with no rippling effect. If you measure by most influential on galactic affairs, then obviously the earlier events.

Vaders redemption. Period.

How is Vader's redemption the most important event in SW history?

I have to say Luke deciding not to join Vader in ESB

the Clone Wars, at the begining the Republic was democratic and the jedi were powerfull. After the wars the Republic became the Empire and was ruled by an evil emperor, the jedi were almost extinct and the Sith were in control. Everything was changed and in the OT they are still struggling against the same empire. So the clonewars was very important I think.

jar jar binks granting palpatine emergency power and starting the whole ball rolling

the destruction of alderaan (yes, im just joking)

Vader Offering Luke To "Rule The Galaxy as Father And Son" this led the emperor to beleive vader would want to take over (heir to the empire conversation between luke and jade) thus leading to the confrontation with the emperor trying to convert luke leading to his demise leading to the fall of the empire leading to mara jade unemployed and thrawn coming to power leading tohim finding master cboath leading him to hunt down luke and leia and the twins leading to luke falling to the darkside.

Without hyperdrive, no Luke, no Vader, no Republic, no Sith, no Jedi, no Empire.

Technically, Glentract is right. The Infinite Empire was more influential.
