A High Republic era mention in today's Star Wars #2; written by Charles Soule who is part of Project Luminous

People have always took the for a thousand generations too literal. It’s a metaphor for how long the Jedi kept the peace. It fits in with George saying it’s was 1000 years long.

I have no problem with them shortening the timeline. Frankly, we all should’ve seen this coming. None of what was in legends was Disney’s vision. It was someone else’s.

It’s clear they’re going for major aesthetic differences for various eras.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the mandalorian war against the Jedi was only about 1500 years before the prequels instead of like 3000-4000.

We know the great Jedi vs Sith Lords war was 1000 years before the prequel trilogy. That’s also around the time of the creation of the dark saber by Tarre Viszla. That’s also around the time that Maz Kanata was born.
