5/15/22 Supernatural Chronology
I finally got around to plotting the various events in Supernatural
Encounters onto the timeline. I've attempted this before I'd completed it,
and I won't promise that it's perfect even now, but we're getting close. I'm
proofing a chapter a day, and then it'll be done. Figure about three months and
then another two or so weeks to get the test copy to ensure everything is
correct on the page.
5/4/22 The Trailer is Here!
The first trailer for Supernatural Encounters, created by my editor Harry
Henry and featuring some of the book's interior artwork by Chris Cold and
Guillaume Ducos, is now available! Check it out
here.
Also, thanks to Alex Payne for the timeline update on the Obi-Wan home video
game (listed in 32 BBY).
3/16/22 Update Day!
If you
haven't yet, head on over to the Discord server for a little treat from the
past.
The last
two weeks have been spent doing various touch-ups to SE, so today I'm uploading
SE to the printer and will await a physical copy. Once that arrives, I begin an
intensive final read-through. This is a crucial last step to try and catch
everything and anything that might have slipped by... (and there were still
things that slipped by the eyes of several of us!) I don't know how long this
step will take, but I don't want to rush it. That said, I'll be working on it
every single day (baring any extreme circumstances).
Once
that's done, I add the illustrations and maps during the layout process, and
then send for another proof copy to ensure that it all looks right on the page
and that there were no layout errors (which can cause wonky things to happen--a
road I've been down before)! And then it's time to start shipping books!
I'll see
you guys again on 4/1 with the next update!
2/23/22 Dark Horse Rebels
As revealed today by Screen Rant and other outlets, Dark Horse Comics, who
recently reacquired the license to publish certain Star Wars comics, will be
collecting "a
variety of comics from Star
Wars: Rebels Magazine including
issues #1-#35,
#37, and #39, along
with Star
Wars: Rebels Animation Magazine #1-4."
In lieu of this, I've taken down the scans.
2/18/22 RIP Tom Veitch
Tom is best remembered by fans for Dark Empire and Tales of the Jedi,
which are considered classics amongst EU fans. Tom's work rekindled my love of
Star Wars and started me on a journey that I'm still on years later. The day I
walked into a comic-book shop, looking for work, and saw this issue hanging on
the shop wall, my jaw dropped and the proprietor explained that new Star Wars
comics and books were coming out.
See you on the other side, Tom!
2/15/22 Update and Recommended Reading
Hey everyone, it's update day!
Recommend reading/watching list:
Marvel’s Pizzazz magazine—collected in Omnibus Wild Space and The Original
Marvel Years #3
The Ewoks comics—collected in Marvel Star Wars: Ewoks
Book of Sith
Note: This is not comprehensive by any means, nor did I venture too far outside
of the Lucasverse. To keep this list manageable, I also avoided inclusion of
common EU sources that most people know and are already familiar with. The
endnotes will help with some things too. These are just titles that feature
persons or events that are referenced in a relatively significant way in SE. I'm
sure I've forgotten some things, but I wanted to keep this reasonably short.
See you again on 3/1 with the next update!
1/21/22 Supernatural Friends!
Hey guys, I wanted to share this great conversation that Matt Wilkins,
Christopher Nelson, and my editors, Kyle Rawlings, Patrick Maes, and Edward
Dodds did last night that talks about Supernatural Encounters, how it
came about, what's coming up, and some of the difficulties it's encountered with
Wookieepedia. I'm just blown away by these guys... and, really, by all of
you for your love and support! Check it out here:

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.

I'm sorry to report the
death of another legend--Tom Veitch.
Hope all finds you well! I have a recommended reading list for you, as promised,
and also wanted to let you know where I was in the progress stream.
Since we last spoke two weeks ago, I've been working on editing the endnotes
(what I call the *infernal* endnotes!) I'm thankfully nearing the end, as it's
not my favorite part of the process. One has to walk a fine line between
revealing too much and too little (beyond indicating where a race or character
first originated), and as this is my third time going through them, I've opted
to lean towards the latter. I don't like to spoil things that are best
discovered firsthand (this will be better understood later). Besides which, I'm
not going anywhere after this is done, so you can always DM or email me to ask
about this, that, or the other thing. Needless to say, I've got about 3/4 of the
endnotes done. There's just over 500 of them.
