![]() Maybe that’s what Ancients do.” Crystals Have a Role in Ancient and Jedi TechĬrystals are a huge part of Ancients' technology and now those beautiful, glittery things are fundamental to dozens of races and species across the universe, from the Asgard to the Tok’ra. Uh, maybe some of them were trying to start over, seeding life in a new galaxy. As Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) says in the Stargate Atlantis episode ‘Rising: Part 1’ (S1, Ep1): “We know the Ancients on Earth were suffering from a plague. Although the Gou’ald did the lion’s share of parachuting humans across our galaxy when they discovered how warm and snug we are for hosting megalomaniacal space worms, it was the Ancients who deposited them (a long time ago) into the Pegasus Galaxy (far, far away). It’s also worth adding that Star Wars doesn’t give us a definitive homeworld or origin story for humanity, other than showing us that they are a remarkably widespread and varied bunch. The opening titles of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope (1977) establish the chronology. ![]() Just that they share DNA, after all, Star Wars takes place “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….” and for lack of any meta-reference point introduced in the saga, we have to assume that the statement relates to time and distance from us and our galaxy, which is the same world that Stargate ostensibly takes place in as they too have watched the crawl. And as I’ve established, we’re not necessarily saying that anything from the Clone Wars to Rey is happening concurrently with Stargate SG-1 from a temporal perspective. That means the faraway galaxy isn’t a problem. We know that the tech in Star Wars, despite its used or ‘ancient future’ aesthetic, is sophisticated enough to maintain a gate at their end. Obviously, the gate allows those who go through it to travel incredibly long distances. Right, now that I’ve convinced you, let’s take a look at the evidence… There’s, er, a Stargate in Stargate ![]() And if that’s not at the core of everything science fiction is about, then what is? Are you going to tell me Roswell and Area 51 aren’t real just because there are a few kooks who go too far with it? Or that Stanley Kubrick didn’t direct the Moon landing (wink emoji)? And anyway, the whole point of this article is to debate a theory. Dramatized versions of real-life events can collide within the reality of a TV show or film (Wolverine is quick to say most of the X-Men story is made up), so who’s to say that the Star Wars movie series isn’t a fictionalized version of things that happened long ago and far, far away in the Stargate universe? Or perhaps even a myth with roots in ancient history? Fine, but think about, say, 2017’s Logan in which Hugh Jackman picks up an Uncanny X-Men comic and then slags it off swearily to Laura (Dafne Keen). | MGM, 2001.įrom that, we can deduce that in the Stargate SG-1 canon, there is a movie series called Star Wars. A discussion about Star Wars confirms its fictional status in the Stargate SG-1 episode ‘Ascension’ (S5, Ep3). ![]()
