7/11/19 TOR Updates
For those of you curious about the timeline of events in The Old Republic era,
the MMORPG and its various updates, expansions, flashpoints, operations, short
stories, etc., which run from 3954 to 3629 BBY, I've done my best to figure out
the dates and add them to the timeline.
If
you see any errors, drop me a
line!
7/9/19 Site news and SE EE Update!
Decoded the date entries for The Journal of Master
Gnost-Dural and put them on the timeline in their appropriate places.
Also, received some rough illustrations from Chris Cold for the forthcoming
extended edition of Supernatural Encounters! Here's one to enjoy for now!
7/4/19 Just a shoutout!
Saying "Thanks!" to Robert Newnham for proofreading and edits on "Cult
Encounters"! Love your eagle-eyes!
6/20/19 Ewoks Manhua and Site News
Just received the rare Chinese Ewoks comics which I'll scan and post once I get
a translation.
In other site news, I updated/corrected the 3950s BBY.
6/10/19 Timeline Updates
More discrepancies in the Rise of the Empire era fixed (thanks again Danni!),
and for you One Canon fans, I've added the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan novel Master &
Apprentice and the Age of Republic and Age of Rebellion comics
to the Complete Saga
page.
6/5/19 Timeline Updates
Just wanted to give a shout-out to Danni Scarpa for pointing out some
discrepancies and helping my fried brain better understand the early part of 32 BBY! Great chronological skills Danni!
5/30/19 GO GET IT!
If this issue sells well (and there are five variant covers to hunt down, plus
one blank cover and one signed one), we can expect a continuation of the
Expanded Universe! This issue is not only a celebration of the 80th Anniversary
of Marvel, but a test run to see what interest--if any--exists for the
original canon. Show them you care! Run out today and grab a copy or five! P.S.
Marvel has also reprinted issue #107 and Ewoks #1 as part of their $1.00 True
Believers series.
In site news, I added #108 to--where else?--after issue #107, and moved a few
things earlier, Mystery of the Rebellious Robot, Tales #4's "Spare
Parts," and Adventures in Colors and Shapes to 1 ABY, which I should've
done awhile ago, but forgot.
5/7/19 Wow! Fundraiser Exceeds Goals!
Star Wars EU fans are truly the best fans in the world! We have exceeded our
goal to pay for illustrations for the extended edition of Supernatural
Encounters! Thank you so much! I can't wait to send you guys your perks! For
any latecomers who would like to still contribute, we can still accept donations
for most perks, but not the Tuckerism. All funds will still go the artist and
production of the perks. For fans who weren't able to contribute, no worries!
The story and all its illustrations will be available for free right here on

In unrelated site news, I added the home video games, Episode I: Battle for
Naboo, and Battlefront: Elite Squadron. Thanks to Alex Payne for
providing the info!

3/3/19 Ewoks, Droids, and a French Translation of Supernatural Encounters!
The amazing Alban Leloup joins the list of translators who will be bringing
Supernatural Encounters to your local language group, this time French!
You fans of the still-unreleased Droids and Ewoks animated series,
click on the link to your right for new, sharp, cleaned-up versions of those
three seasons! Special thanks to Thall Joben for releasing them on Youtube, and
Rich Handley for zipping them up for us!
2/13/19 New EU and Sith Edition of Supernatural Encounters Update
The latter first: Clearly I missed the deadline to release the
The former: Marvel Comics confirmed today that they are doing a new story set in
the Expanded Universe! Yes, it's true. This is something fans have awaited for a
long time and is still surprising, gleefully so, for many. It will called Star
Wars #108 to represent the fact that the original Marvel series had ended at
issue #107. Storywise, however, it will be a sequel to issue #50: The Crimson
Forever, and include not only Luke, Han, and Leia, but Domina Tagge, Valance the
bounty hunter, Jaxxon, and Amaiza! How do you beat that, I don't know, but it's
certainly a milestone given that Domina's story goes back to 1981, and in fact
was never properly concluded. The author Matthew Rosenberg is clearly a fan, and
although this is being planned as a one-shot, take a look at some of the ideas
he has for future stories if this one sells well. EU FANS: MAKE SURE IT SELLS
WELL!! :) Anyway, the press release is here and worth checking out: https://comicbook.com/starwars/2019/02/13/star-wars-comics-legends-marvel-han-solo-jaxxon-valance/
1/31/19 Expanded Edition of Supernatural Encounters and Endnotes!
Some of you know I cut a bit of material from the published version of
Supernatural Encounters for various reason, some of which was because I felt it
had gotten too long; some of which because it needed more research and I ran out
of time. So to this end, a big thank you to Ryan Shepherd and Edward Dodds for
their tremendous help, ideas, and research, ensuring that the expanded edition
of Supernatural Encounters does not have any errors. The plan is to
have it out on 2/6/19. The PDF will follow in the days ahead. So stay tuned!
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.

Marvel's
Star Wars #108: "Forever Crimson" is the first commissioned Expanded
Universe story to have come out since LFL/Disney decided to wickedly axe the EU
and turn it into the non-canonical (according to them) "Legends" line, and it's
excellent! It not only wraps up storylines left dangling by the cancellation of
the original series in 1986 (then written by Jo Duffy), it presents a possible
continuation of the storyline! Plus, it's brilliantly written by Matthew
Rosenberg and illustration by numerous artists (each who take a chapter in the
book), and contains interviews with Jo Duffy, David Michelinie, Walt and Louise
Simonson, Ron Frenz, and Tom Palmer! 
Special Sith Edition, but I didn't realize at the time how the
addition of cut material would require a bit of reworking, though in ways that I
think are necessary to improve the chronological flow of the story, which anyone
whose read it thus far will admit can be a bit challenging to follow. Also,
there is a lot of new material, two or three new chapters (which are posted on
the timelines), and a lot of endnotes, all of which needs proofreading before
it's ready. I don't want to catch anymore typos! :)
