the SW first developed

However, the critics are still outnumbered by solid fans who are happy with the MCU’s deviations. Overall, the cinematic universe’s consistency in quality is staggering and considered a natural progression of the SW first developed.

Hello, teachers. What part of speech is "developed" here and how it works in the sentence? (SW - Star Wars)

It's meant to be a verb (... that was first developed).

The whole piece is badly written and littered with errors.

And does "first developed" mean that SW was developed before MCU?

I think it's referring to the Star Wars films that were made prior to the Disney purchase. I'm not sure. It's very poorly expressed, so don't overanalyse this.
