I assume Lucas invented humans in a galaxy "a long time ago" because it rang true to our intuition, not because there was a logical reason for it. Several modern works follow a similar trend (plus some who do offer a more explicit explanation for the "waning" of magic), notably Tolkien, who strongly implied that the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings were morally if not literally a history of the present day. There is typically deliberately no attempt to make the world consistent with modern scientific evidence. The past is supposed to seem fantastic and magical and hard to verify. This - in my opinion - is more of a stylistic impression than a detailed constructed history. Faery tales are often set "long ago" and "far away" to give them an exotic flavour, and often imply that there was a past when giants, witches talking wolves, etc, etc were normal. I have no citations for this, but it seems obvious to me that Star Wars drew from many sources, notably the concept of a faery tale (the opening words, the princess, the farmboy turned hero, the "magic" etc, etc). It is also easier to relate to characters who are humans (or at least humanoid) The storyline in this novel involved both space travel and time travel, which would have explained the line "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away."įrom a moviemaking standpoint, yes it was probably because it is easier to have the main characters as humans.

A canceled, and therefore non-canon, novel known as Alien Exodus would have explained the origins of Humanity and their connection with Earth, but it was never published for a variety of reasons. Other fans suggest that parallel evolution could have produced Humans in the Star Wars galaxy as well as in the Milky Way. Since they appear to be identical to Humans on Earth, some fans have created theories about a species of extragalactic aliens who transported early Humans from Earth to the "Galaxy Far, Far Away". The origin of Humans in Star Wars is unknown (though many in the galaxy believe that they originated on Coruscant). Believed to have originated on the galactic capital of Coruscant, they could be found anywhere, engaged in many different pursuits.

Humans were the galaxy's most numerous and politically dominant sentient species with millions of major and minor colonies galaxy-wide. There are millions of planets inhabited by humans. The humans in the Star Wars universe are not from Earth.
