The New Essential Chronology, released in October 2005, combined the little planet icons of Fact Files with the more clearly readable contour lines, and was one of the first to include the planets of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Comics publisher Dark Horse used a similar map to the Revised Core Rulebook for an online map in 2006, which was the first to feature a grid that allowed easier localization of planets from an index.The Essential ChartsThe next major breakthrough with galactic maps came with the release of The Essential Atlas in August of 2009. As the name of the book implies, the focus of the work by Daniel Wallace and Jason Fry was on providing an atlas of the Star Wars galaxy. As such, it obviously had to include maps. Lots of them.
The Atlas did away with the isometric projections of the galaxy in favor of a top-down chart, whilst keeping the shape of the galactic regions and planet placement mostly intact (09). A tremendous amount of research went into the development of the maps.
Although the maps themselves provide placement for more worlds than ever before, an index at the back of the book provides placement for every world known in the Expanded Universe at that time. This appendix lists known planets and systems with their region and coordinates.
The Atlas uses a coordinate system based on a grid that has a justifiable in-universe meaning. The grid is based on the Coruscant coordinate system, and each grid square in the map corresponds to a an area of fifteen by fifteen parsecs (3.26 light-years per parsec).Furthermore, the maps include an orientation (a galactic compass), which places the uncharted Unknown Regions in the galactic west. Several variations on the galactic map were included in the book, such as maps detailing the eras of exploration (10), galactic population (11) and various military campaigns (12). The highly detailed maps of the galaxy were made by Hungarian artist Modi, who had previously gained fame with his fan-made star charts and was invited to work on Atlas. Wallace and Fry also made good use of the discussions on the boards of TheForce.Net, which had an active cartography topic since 2005, and even put most users in the acknowledgements of Atlas.The Atlas was made into a living document, with articles published on the official website to expand on the work. Maps detailing the placement of the sectors in the Outer Rim (13), Mid Rim and Expansion Region have been added along with updates of the index to include new planets from books and comics, as well as changes in planet placement. The sector maps were left without any gaps, often adding planets and sectors that were new to fill out the map.
The planet Couronne, for example, was one such an unused world until it was made into the Imzig homeworld in the Rogues Gallery feature of Star Wars Insider #148. Other additions to the Atlas were The History of Xim and the Tion Cluster published in December 2009 as part of the Hyperspace-exlusive Xim Week, and The Knight Errant Gazetteer of November 2010, which detailed the Grumani sector.The Essential Guide to Warfare of April 2013 continued in the tradition of the Essentail Atlas, by using maps in the same style to accompany various topics such as the Alsakan Conflicts or the location of major shipyards. Fantasy Flight Games would also adopt the new star chart system, including the coordinate grid, into their role-playing game that started with Edge of the Empire. The only notable difference in the 2013 Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook is that they rotated the map 90 degrees counterclockwise, placing the galactic west at the bottom.All Fun and GamesWhile sourcebooks have been the main source for galaxy maps for most people, some video games include maps as well, some even pre-dating the above-mentioned charts.
The missions in TIE Fighter, released in June 1994, are preceded by a galactic map that displays the location of the mission (14). The image is very close to the one that was later used in the Jedi Library in Episode II, even including the satellite galaxies. Rebellion, released in February 1998, also includes a galactic map, which displays a multitude of systems in a dozen different sectors (15). However, most of the placements are incorrect. The map that came with Star Wars: Galaxies in June 2003 was highly inaccurate as well, and was more of a network of planets overlaid on an image of a galaxy (16).
The same holds for the map in Knights of the Old Republic, released Juli 2003. Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy of October 2003 included planet placement maps similar to TIE Fighter, although some placement were incorrect, such as the planet Chandrila.Things went south (or actually planets went west) in Empire at War, released February 2006. It sacrificed accuracy for game mechanics, evenly spreading the planets over the galactic disc (17), most of them in an equidistant network, also occupying the usually empty galactic. With the release of The Old Republic in December 2011, there were already so many published maps that it would not be justifiable anymore to include such an inaccurate map (18).
As such, the different maps tied into the game are mostly correct, and even add some details about the size of different territories. Let’s hope future game makers pay as much attention to detail when it goes to making maps.Selected Reading. by Daniel Wallace. by Jason Fry.

A ton of diehard Star Wars fans have been upset with Disney for one reason or another. It all arguably started several years ago, when Disney purchased the rights to the franchise and purged practically everything but the six existing movies from the official canon. That meant dozens of Star Wars novels that fans grew up reading were, but now deemed a part of the “Expanded Universe.”Apparently, there was at least one good reason for that. Nostalgia can be a wonderful thing, but there’s no doubting that it can also gloss over some pretty bad stuff with positive memories. When you break it down, there were a whole lot of weird things from the official Star Wars canon — not even to mention the Ewok movies — that we’re better off without.Here are some of the worst moments, including the supposed reason that Disney scrapped the whole thing.
Luke gets nasty with a corpse. Would canon Luke be disgusted with his actions in Children of the Jedi?
LucasfilmLuke Skywalker has a few love interests in the novels, including the most popular and well-known Mara Jade. But the weirdest and creepiest of Luke’s girlfriends is Callista Ming, a Jedi that died during the Order 66 purge. That’s right, she was killed right around the time of Luke’s birth.
Fortunately for her, she was able to keep her consciousness alive inside a computer on an Imperial ship.In the novel Children of the Jedi, despite her lack of physical presence and you know, her being dead. But things take a bright turn for the star-crossed lovers when Luke’s Jedi student Cray Mingla decided that she wanted to die and give her body to Callista. Oh, how convenient. After the ghost of a long-dead Jedi took over Luke’s student’s body, the two could finally get down and dirty.We’re pretty thankful that this never “officially” happened in Star Wars canon.Boba Fett is swallowed by the Sarlacc twice. Boba Fett has had a rough go of it.
LucasfilmOne of the biggest disappointments of the original trilogy is Boba Fett, who arrives on the big screen in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and outwits Han Solo. He barely makes it into Star Wars: Return of the Jedi before he’s knocked into the Sarlacc pit by a blind Solo and is never heard from again. But in the original canon, Fett actually survives the fall and is spit back out later.There’s a whole story about Fett being picked up by the Jawa’s, rescued by his nemesis Han Solo, and then, of course,. Let’s be clear, this is pretty dumb.
It’s like the writers were intentionally being mean to everyone’s favorite bounty hunter. Is that it appears the new canon has stuck with the storyline of Fett surviving, but not many more details are known as of yet.Luke becomes Clone Palpatine’s apprentice.
Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi LucasfilmAfter the end of Return of the Jedi, there were Star Wars-less years before Star Wars: The Phantom Menace hit theaters. This era was full of new novels to expand on what was then the canon, and one of the post- ROTJ storylines was the return of Palpatine and the Empire. How could this be, you might ask? Palpatine had cloned himself in the event of his death, of course.This all happened in the Dark Empire trilogy, which was. Luke was so impressed by the Emperor’s resolve that he actually became Palpatine’s apprentice, ignoring everything about Episode VI and the redemption story of Anakin Skywalker. Eventually, Luke was turned back to the light side of the Force by his sister, Leia, and together they defeated the Emperor.Having this over-simplified story that basically undermines Return of the Jedi kicked out of official Star Wars canon is a blessing.Darth Vader’s magic glove.
Darth Vader has an indestructible glove, apparently. LucasfilmAnother one of the most dubious series of Star Wars novels is the Jedi Prince series, containing in it The Glove of Darth Vader. The story takes place shortly after the death of Vader and Emperor Palpatine, while the Empire is struggling in the wake. There is a prophecy that the new emperor would be the one that wears the, which Palpatine’s apparent son, Trioculus, is determined to find.Of course, Luke Skywalker attempts to get in the way of that plan, but Trioculus is otherwise successful in finding this magical glove of Vader. Really, it should’ve been incinerated twice — once when it went down the shaft in the Death Star, and again when the Death Star exploded. An entire story bringing forth a previously unknown son of Palpatine isn’t that weird, but having it based around Vader’s magical glove is a bridge too far.Leia’s weird relationship issues.
Star Wars Roleplay Gmod
Leia with someone other than Han? Say it isn’t so! LucasfilmThe Courtship of Princess Leia is an absolutely absurd novel, based on the idea that Leia and Han Solo are too busy to frequently see each other, what with the galaxy constantly needing saving. That boils down to some rich jerk promises to give the New Republic money to battle the remnants of the Empire, but only if Princess Leia marries Prince Isolder.And therein lies the twist. With the money and weapons promised, the war could be ended and possibly billions of lives saved, if only Leia were to agree to marry this guy.
Han takes the news poorly, goes gambling, wins a planet (yes, a planet) in a card game, and steals Leia away. The love interest that we’ve become most invested in with Star Wars is the one between Han and Leia, but this entire story is just wacky.Considering that the war continued on after this novel, how many lives were lost specifically because Leia refused to marry Isolder? Let’s pretend this never happened.The low-budget fake sequel. The cover art for Splinter of the Mind’s Eye Del Rey BooksThe very first Star Wars novel came out in 1978, called Splinter of the Mind’s Eye.

In reality, as a template for what he believed would be the low-budget sequel to the original Star Wars movie. That was, until Star Wars had a ton of success and Empire Strikes Back was written instead.The story takes place on a foggy jungle planet with Han Solo absent, likely due to the fact that Harrison Ford wasn’t signed on for a sequel at that point. Luke and Leia had to track down some mysterious crystal that allowed whoever held it to have total power over the Force, and that meant a confrontation with Darth Vader. They battled against Vader, with Leia holding her own and Luke even cutting off his hand.There is a weird notion that the spirit of Obi-Wan may be alive in Luke during the battle, which is kind of a head-scratcher.
Also, plenty of sexual tension exists between the two unknowing siblings throughout the novel, which is fine because they never do cross the line. But it’s still pretty gross, so Star Wars canon is better off without it.A moon is dropped on Chewie. A Star Wars film without Chewie isn’t one we want to see. LucasfilmWe can imagine that writing novels that feature Chewbacca as a main character would get challenging. Without the ability to do much other than grunt and howl, Chewie easily gets lost in the fold. So in the 1999 novel Destruction of Sernpidal, our favorite Wookiee was killed off.That, by itself, is a problem and one that’s understandable why Disney would want to sweep it under the rug. But Chewbacca’s death is even worse than that. The reason he dies is that he gets left behind on a planet that has a moon crashing down towards it, and Han blames his own son, Anakin Solo, for his best friend’s death.If they had to stick to the established canon, Chewie would be dead by the time of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
That makes scrapping everything, labeling it “Expanded Universe,” and starting over pretty easy. Apparently, Chewbacca’s death is one of the.Leaving Chewie out of the new trilogy all together and trying to explain the entire family histories of Han, Leia, their children Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin, as well as Luke, Mara Jade, and their son Ben would’ve been a mess. Pushing the whole thing to the side and creating a new canon has proven not only to be profitable but a wise move. There is an argument about whether it has been executed properly, but there’s no doubt that we’re all better off this way.Check out on Facebook!
