4/4/20 Site Update
Thanks to Alex Payne, I moved The Clone Wars Magazine story "The Only
Good Clanker" to BEFORE The Clone Wars, Season 3, episode 12, due to the
fact that Asajj is still working for Dooku.
4/1/20 Updated Gamemaster Guide
Just wanted to give a shout-out to David Sell for providing us with the missing
page 4 of the Lords of the Expanse: Gamemaster Guide! Download it here:
Gamemaster Guide
You can find additional fan-made RPG sourcebooks, supplements, adventures
here!
3/20/20 Infinities Addition
Due to the fact that Greg Rucka's
Smuggler's Run: A Han Solo & Chewbacca Adventure
has the Alliance leaving Yavin 4 immediately after the Battle of Yavin, which
contradicts the EU version of events, which has them staying there for at least
six months, it's been placed in Infinities.
3/18/20 TOR Updates
Thanks to Alex Payne, I added two additional TOR short-stories that I'd missed:
"The Search for Oricon" and "Lana Benikos' Journal: Darth Arkous" to 3639 and
3638 BBY respectively. There's some additional stories that need to be added as
soon as we figure out exactly where they go.
3/9/20 Shuffling (update)
The 0 year ABY has gotten some shuffling in order to accommodate the Marvel 2015
series, Star Wars, Darth Vader, Vader Rising, Lando, Chewbacca, and
Doctor Aphra.
The 2015-on Marvel series has been surprisingly free of contradictions with the
Expanded Universe stories in this time-frame, not entirely, but enough to allow
them to
be placed. I say surprisingly because the Dark Horse 2013 series
The Doctor Aphra series required shifting the Alan Moore story "Blind
Fury" (from Marvel UK #159) to the earlier (now in 7-12 months ABY period), which is no
problem as that story is free to be moved any time after the Battle of Yavin and
before the Battle of Hoth. Due to the fact that Leia is shown swimming in issue
#34, Star Wars #21-on and Doctor Aphra stories have to be placed
after Splinter of the Mind's Eye (where Leia says she can't swim, a
statement that isn't challenged by Luke). It's either that, or place SOTME
earlier in the 1 ABY time-frame, which itself wouldn't be problematic. In either
case, Leia learns to swim.
Due to various continuity conflicts, Princess Leia has been placed in
Infinities.
Added Han Solo, but the placement can be in several places
post-evacuation, pre-Hoth. Similarly, Star Wars Annual #3 could fit in several
places prior to Luke's discovery of Hoth in the newspaper strips.
As regards Darth Vader's discovery of Luke Skywalker as the destroyer of the
Death Star, it seems reasonable that Vader would triple-check the information to
ensure its veracity, allowing readers to better understand why there are three
instances in which Vader gathers this intel
As regards the existence of the Super Star
Destroyer, the Executor, there were numbers SSDs created at the time. Either the
Executor was built or rebuilt and/or upgraded at Kuat, Scarl, and Fondor, or
there's an Executor I and an Executor II. Keep in mind too that The Force
Unleashed had the Executor in existence three years prior to its appearance
at the Starship Yards of Fondor in the Goodwin newspaper strips.
For those puzzled as to why the post-Disney buyout titles would be included on a
Star Wars EU timeline, the Complete Saga page
follows the "One Canon" approach, which permits any story that reasonably fits
into the Expanded Universe on the timeline. For purists, the other pages on this
site remain free of post-2013 stories.
3/4/20 Site Update
Added the five part Lando comic-book series to the 7-12 months after
Episode IV: A New Hope period.
This takes place after "Lady Luck" (Tales #3), which I have placed in the
1-6 month period (earlier than the placement given it on other timelines), to
account for the fact that Lando met Lobot around the time he won Cloud City. As
with the latter story, it could take place later (or earlier for that matter).
1/23/20 Site Updates
Moved Master & Apprentice to before Jedi Apprentice #17 for
continuity (Valorum) and thematic (Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship) reasons.
Thanks to Alex Payne for catching that!
Also added the forthcoming The Clone Wars Season 7 to the timeline, in
the knowledge that the four unfinished "Legacy" episodes, starting with "The Bad
Batch" will appear in that seasons in their completed forms.
1/21/20 Batch of Interviews
The final batch of interviews with Doug McCausland is up, and includes Mike
Stackpole, James Luceno, Christie Golden, and Kathy Tyers! Find them all
here!
1/20/20 The Mandalorian is Up
All eight episodes are listed in 9 ABY (on the "Complete
Saga" page only), placed prior to the return of Thrawn in Heir to the
Empire.
1/14/20 Interview with Dave Wolverton!
Next up in our EU interview series with Doug McCausland is author Dave Wolverton!
Check it out here!
1/6/20 Interviews for the New Year
Today I was interviewed by my friend Matt Wilkins for his Princes of the
Universe podcast on Youtube! We had a blast as we always do when we talk Star
Wars!
Additionally, I'm starting a new section on the Archives for interviews with
Star Wars Expanded Universe authors. These were all conducted by writer, Star
Wars fan, and all-around great guy, Doug McCausland! We start off with an
in-depth interview with Kevin J. Anderson, and one that's going really to appeal
to Expanded Universe fans because the interviewer asks the kinds of questions
that readers want to know! Check it out here!
There will be more coming down the pike!
Finally, I've updated my email address on here. I'd forgotten how when I
switched hosting companies, the old one wouldn't work. But if you find any that
still don't, drop me a line
here.
Thanks to Noam Nederby Jessen for the heads up!
Listed by year is the archived
news for that year, as well as the website updates that had originally
been on a separate page. I've decided to combine them by date for
those long-time fans of this site, as well as any that are curious to see
my chronological thoughts and editorials over the years. Occasionally,
you'll see non-Star Wars material from my other timeline sites included,
as this was before I had the lightbulb moment when I realized that
each universe should have its own "latest news" and "updates" page. Please
note too that these pages are being kept for nostalgia and research
purposes. None of the internal links, of which there are many, will
actually work, as they were created at the time the Star Wars Expanded
Universe Timeline was listed under the umbrella site Timelineuniverse.net,
which is no longer the case.
