1/8/25 Expanded Supernatural Encounters!
UPDATE DAY! Calling all Star Warriors and Starhoppers! I'm excited to announce
Wish 13: Glimpses of Oblivion, an Expanded Supernatural Encounters
installment written by our very own Samantha H.G.!!
Taking place in 46 ABY, Wish 13: Glimpses of Oblivion
is illustrated by Katherine Graci, and is an incredible ride! You can find it
here.
Sam managed to craft a skillful, scary, and wild space adventure with great
characters that I absolutely adored, and which feels like the classic Weird
Tales of old! As with Mark Elam's excellent Cthon and Devilworlds,
and a few others that are yet being worked on that I've glimpsed, I consider
these stories part of the SE family, and therefore part of my*canon. I
hope that once you read it, it'll be part of yours as well!
I use that term deliberately because the Cosmic Wars era remains rich with
storytelling potential, and many of you have taken up the mantle in expanding it
further. For this reason, I've been working with Corey Carter to support fanmade
and fan-led projects directly connected to Supernatural Encounters. Corey
will chime in later to introduce and explain what we've dubbed Expanded
Supernatural Encounters. I should also note that Wish 13 is but the first
in a wave of announcements and previews that will be released throughout
January, with further reveals prepared for LegendsCon II. 1/1/25 Party Like It's Cold Danda Sine!
Splendid Ap Throws a Party!
Cold Danda Sine says the party's over!
Special thanks to Jobaly for these and many more that you can find on the
Discord server! Why don't you join us? Do you play well with others? Drop me a
line!

experience, ensuring these beloved chapters are presented with the cinematic
quality they deserve.

10/31/24 Happy Halloween!
We have a new interview conducted by Brennan (Quinlan Vos) with Darth Heisenberg
(ACBagel), the creator of the visual audiobook series of Supernatural
Encounters, with a preview of Chapter 22, which should be dropping this weekend!
Heisenberg is a great guy and Brennan does a great interview. Check out

10/12/24 SE Analysis!
Brennan's seventh lore video, analyzing Supernatural Encounters is up!
Check out
Brennan's Breakdown of Supernatural Encounters #7: Chapter 5 here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jA3EIf_KwA&t=2s
10/10/24 Site Update
A few changes to the Era of Rebellion. I moved the Pizzazz strips to
after issue #7 of the Marvel series, which was also better delineated, when Luke
and Leia bid farewell to Han, but before #8 where Luke has left with the droids
to scout a Rebel base. I also got rid of Lost Stars and all of the modern
Marvel comics, the inclusion of which hadn't been well-received. And it makes
sense that they take place in the DU (aka. Hyperion). I added the Star Wars
#1-20 (Dark Horse, 2013) Brian Wood series to Infinities (aka. Apeiron).
Also, in the West
End Games section, the two Wild Space Magazine issues, by Womp Rat
Press, are now up for download, as are the complete Adventurer's Journals
that Brian Bird created, which are excellent, all of which are referenced in
Supernatural Encounters.
10/1/24 Site Update
Thanks to Crimson for helping me to see that the flashback in Episode 24 of The
Ewoks, S2 belongs prior to just before Ep 14 in the following year (due to
Wicket getting his trophies).
9/27/24 Returning Guest to LegendsCon II!
The great Corinna Bechko, author of one of my favorite Star Wars series,
Legacy Vol. II, which I think is some of the best space opera that we'd seen
in Star Wars since Archie Goodwin. Plus, she's a wonderful person in her own
right! Fans of Planet of the Apes fans can also rejoice, as she did several
well-received arcs for Boom! Studios, including Betrayal of the Planet of the
Apes, Exile on the Planet of the Apes, and Planet of the Apes:
Cataclysm.
9/24/24 Updates!
Have you seen the latest Visual Audiobook for Supernatural Encounters? It
rocks! Share it,
like it, subscribe!
Also, we've added the original Blackthorne Publishing Star Wars 3D comics, plus
the lost issue #4 (12 pages) and #6 (a complete script). Head over to
The Archives to check them out!
Also, we added the previously unpublished RPG adventure, Tower of Shadows
(aka. Temple of Ooradaal) that was intended for No Disintegrations
but held over for a second volume that never manifested. You can find that in
the West End Games section.
Finally, check out Mara Jade, Quinlan Vos, Kyle Rawlings, and Brian Borg from
Twin Suns talking EU and LegendsCon II:

9/23/24 SE Update!
Exciting
news!
The
Audiobook Visual Experience for Chapter 21 of *Star Wars Supernatural
Encounters* is Complete!
From
Darth Heisenberg, the creator: "I am deeply honored to share the completion of
Chapter 21 as part of this ongoing project. This chapter is nothing short of a
profound tribute to the vast, interconnected tapestry of the *Star Wars* saga—a
love letter to the universe we all cherish.
Chapter
21 opens with a breathtaking exploration of the Firstborn species, a moment in
the story that blends the scientific beauty of creation with the deep mystery of
life itself. These ancient species, with their vast histories and unique
characteristics, are introduced in a way that captures both the awe-inspiring
complexity of life across the galaxy and the timeless connection between all
sentient beings. The meticulous and imaginative detailing of these species is a
testament to SE’s ability to elevate *Star Wars* into the realm of cosmic
wonder, engaging the mind and spirit in equal measure.
As I
crafted this visual experience, I was consistently moved by the depth of this
chapter’s emotional gravity. It serves as a beacon of all the best aspects of
Star Wars—not just the battles between light and dark, but the more nuanced,
spiritual undertones that have captivated generations of fans. The chapter’s
intricate narrative layers evoke a sense of awe and reverence, and I hope that
this visual adaptation allows you to connect with these moments on a more
intimate and profound level. I have already spent **many** dozens of hours
watching and editing and adding to this video, and it hasn't become the
slightest bit less emotional when I again watch it in full.
https://youtu.be/RoCc4ChatRw (The video premiered at 3:00 PM EST,
feel free to share anywhere and everywhere! If you haven't yet, make sure you
watch Chapter 20 on my channel first too, this Chapter and the last pair well
back to back.)"

9/4/24 Visual Audiobook of Supernatural Encounters!!
The
final version is here! This is a visual-audial recreation of Chapter
20 of my book: Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters! It has been created akin to the immersive adaptations done for H.P.
Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, and Robert E. Howard by AGM
Storytime. It is a wild treat for the senses that I'd never
thought I'd see in my lifetime and an incredible
way to experience this tale... Check out Star Wars: Supernatural Encounters--Chapter 20:
Visual Audiobook
here.
8/28/24 Immersive Audio-Book of Supernatural Encounters
A test run for a chapter from Supernatural Encounters had been produced with
incredible visuals and music by ACBagel. I'm frankly blown away by this, as it's
of the quality I've seen done by AGM Storytime, and may even exceed that. Check
it out here and
be sure to like and subscribe to be kept abreast progress of future updates and
chapters!
8/27/2024 LegendsCon II Updates!

7/29/24 Splendid Ap and the Timeline He Messes With
Skyriver
Chronicles' new essay on the next section of Supernatural Encounters is
out
https://skyriverchronicles.wordpress.com/2024/07/29/splendid-ap-and-the-timeline-he-messes-with/.
I love this exploration of Splendid Ap and the "timey wimey, wibbly wobbly
concepts" in this section, which was a challenge to convey in the right way. I
won't go into the nuts and bolts of it, save to say that while some things can
be made comprehensible, even though they have great complexity to them, other
things cannot, even though they're quite simple.
There's
a wonderful quote from the show Caprica that informs my approach to this:
"Secrets have answers. Now, mysteries, they don't have answers. That's why I
love them. They're full of endless possibilities and permutations like God
himself. But if you solve a mystery, what are you left with? A secret."
So I'm
quite thrilled to see that Skyriver and others are navigating the secrets and
mysteries of Skyriver quite beautifully.

Hey all, I just wanted to update you on some Wookiepedia unpleasantness.
of_Arhul_Hextrophon#Review_and_Discussion_on_Recent_Article_Revision
What's frustrating about this whole thing is that it's simply about presenting a
much more accurate description of what SE is since the former (now still
current) one is riddled with inaccuracies and important missing
information.
7/15/24 The Queen Herself is Coming!
7/10/24 New Archives!
We are the E E E E E E Ewoks and we're now a bigger family! That's right, the
English translations of the German Ewoks comics are now available! Thanks to
Thomas Rathausky for his diligent efforts in scanning and translating these! You
can download them from The Archives page
here!
7/09/24 Site Update
Special thanks to Jessica Sills for helping me add some missing entries and to
Ben Wilder for further clarification of Boba Fett #1: The Fight to Survive!
7/6/24 SE Update!
Expanded Encounters!! I've finally uploaded several of
what we're now calling Expanded Encounters stories! These are tales and art
inspired by and connected to Cult Encounters and Supernatural Encounters—as
written and illustrated by you! I absolutely adore everything I've seen
thus far and now have a home for them! The page is
here! And a permanent link to it will be
available on the SE page here. I may be missing some art or
stories that you've sent me this past year, or you may want to contribute an
SE-inspired story to this site. Whatever the case, don't hesitate to drop me a
line
here!
7/6/24 Site Update
Special thanks to Ben Wilder for helping me better place Boba Fett #1: The
Fight to Survive! This was a tricky series, chronology-wise, so I appreciate
the deep dive into the reasons why they take place where they take place in
relation to the Attack of the Clones novelization.
6/13/24 Site Update
Three new rarities have been archived in The Archives.
Special thanks to Quinlan Vos (Brennan) for supplying us with the Force
Commander Field Guide, the Imperial Troop Transport, and the short story in the
Prima Guide for Star Wars Galaxies. Head over to that page to download these.
6/11/24 Site Update
A much needed new page--The Archives--has been
added to accommodate the many out-of-print, unpublished, and nearly lost EU
works. You'll be able to access it on the right-hand side bar for now.
5/30/24 Site Update
Thanks to Ben Wilder for the correction on Boba Fett #1: The Fight to Survive.
Chapter 1 takes place earlier, when Zam Wessel is still amongst the living. I
placed it two chapters earlier, but I haven't had the chance to look it over in
the book, so consider that placement subject to change.
5/16/24 SE and Timeline updates
Brennan's SE Breakdowns is now up to #6! Check it out here:
https://www.theexpandeduniverse.com/post/se-breakdown-part-6
Brennan kindly sent me some additional rare items to post, which I'll get to
some time in the coming week! I want to first set up a new page for that kind of
thing that will be a little easier to navigate.
Also, thanks to Gianluca for sending me timeline reminders and correcting a
placement with the New Droid Army, which takes place right after Attack
of the Clones (despite what official sources may claim.

3/19/24 LegendsCon II Annoucement!!
https://www.facebook.com/Legendsconofficial/videos/409506058341017
We at
Legends Consortium LLC have created an event known as Legendscon to bring fans
together in an environment where we can celebrate our love for the Expanded
Universe.
After
our first successful convention in Burbank, ca, in September of 2023, which
included the appearances of Matthew Stover, Randy Stradley, Michael Stackpole,
Barbara Hambly, Craig Miller, Abel G. Peña, Sean Stewart, Henry Gilroy, Michael
Kogge, Joe Bongiorno, Jason Fry, Corinna Bechko, Mike Hansen, Mark Anthony
Austin, Daniel Keys Moran, & Shea Standefer, we have decided to once more unite
fans of the Expanded Universe by hosting Legendscon II.
The
Legends Consortium team consists of fans that host this unofficial,
community-organized, Expanded Universe-themed charity event known as Legendscon
as we are able. While Legendscon is not sponsored by or affiliated with
Lucasfilm ltd., we communicate with Lucasfilm and have agreed to adhere to their
guidelines for Lucasfilm fan events.
All
profits made from Legendscon events are donated to charity in order to better
the world with our love of the Expanded Universe. The charity proceeds from
Legendscon II shall be donated to the Twin Suns foundation.
Join us
at the University Of Texas at Arlington's College Park Center March 15th & 16th,
2025, for Legendscon II, an Expanded Universe event!
Tickets
available March 26th, 2024
Get your
tickets at:
UTAtickets.com
And for those wondering, in case you missed it or want another set,
Supernatural Encounters will be there!
3/15/24 Amazon's Supernatural Encounters
So, the three volume set of Supernatural Encounters has been taken down (nothing
nefarious) and will return in a new three-volume set at LegendsCon II. Stay
tuned tomorrow for an announcement as to the time and place of that convention.
3/6/24 Site Construction
The site is going to look weird for now, as I fix the mysterious disappearance
of the right border and do some long-needed cleanup of the folders--which is
probably what caused the former since I had started that process a few days ago
and probably deleted an important file or something. Anyway, I appreciate your
patience during this time.

Thanks to my friend, Luke Van Horn, I've also added the two-page comic lead-up
to A New Hope that debuted in the magazine TV Times Magazine in October,
1982, illustrated by Martin Asbury. You can find that
here!
I'm happy to post this new piece of Supernatural
Encounters art by the Canadian artist Natalie Asplund. Check out more of her
work here:
https://linktr.ee/NadlyJ.
I've been meaning to add a new section for fan art and stories relating to
Supernatural Encounters, of which I have a few more, so here we begin with
more to come in the months ahead! I've been focused on editing the first of the
translated Hungarian Han Solo books, but don't hesitate to send me a
reminder.
2/16/24 Site News
Rescued Tokyopop's Manga Silver: Perfect Evil from
Infinities and placed it in the main timeline. It shows another time in which
Vader got confirmation that Luke was in fact his son.
2/14/24 EU Announcement: 10 Year Anniversary of the Discontinuation--Group
Project!
As many of you know, I don't generally cover EU news here. There are plenty of
Youtubers and other places that do that kind of thing. Our focus here is on
archiving lost (and potentially lost) EU stories and EU chronology. But this is
one I absolutely champion as a positive response to the anniversary of the
announcement ending the EU. Check it out:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mnUBGRke34
New Lost Tale!
John Morton, the actor who played Dak Ralter in The Empire Strikes Back
has released to me the complete version of "Escape from Kalist," initially
published in a truncated version in Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back
(West End Games, 1989). It was supposed to be featured in the Star Wars
Insider 40th anniversary issue. You can find that on the right-hand side of the page or
here.
Mystery Solved!
So, the long-held mystery of who Alex Wheeler (the pen name of the Scholastic
six book Star Wars: Rebel Force series) really is--and whether it was
actually Jude Watson--has finally been solved thanks to the sleuthing of
u/Cowboyrex1234 and u/xilban as brought to our attention by Nick Schuessler:
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsEU/comments/1aqt0wc/
an_eu_mystery_or_the_curious_case_of_alex_wheeler/
The short answer is: It was Robin Wasserman, the author of numerous young adult
novels and shorts.

2/3/24 Supernatural Encounters Amazon.com UPDATE!
Amazon has now available to order the three trade-paperback volumes that make up
Supernatural Encounters:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTGVFF19?binding=paperback&qid=1706980906&sr=1-1&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk.
This is, of course, being made available at cost and will remain up for an
unknown period of time. If you feel so inclined, please let the larger EU
community know about it (on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, or other
servers).
There will be a Lulu.com release in the Spring, which will be a hardcover set of
these three volumes, with the illustrations in Vol 3 being in color. My hope is
to make these available for easy purchase on that site, but I'll know more about
that as we get closer to the Spring.
As to the single-volume hardcover and softcover editions, I hope to have some
available at LegendsCon in 2025 (stay tuned for the dates and venue which should
drop any day). These will have the *new* LegendsCon logos on them and will
feature 2nd edition text to distinguish them from the 2023 editions.
Stay in the Light!
2/1/24 Site Update
Added TOR: Legacy of the Sith to 3626 BBY. Also, thanks to Quinlan Vos

Star Wars Mythos from Sideshow Collectibles, which he talks about
here. Check it out and
download Star Wars Mythos

Also, the short story, "Jodo Kast & Dengar: Preying for Time," which has been
floating around the internet for awhile now, has been added to the

Special thanks to Quinlan Vos (Brennan) for supplying us with the rare and
hard-to-find TK-329 Tweets that were used as part of the promotional campaign
for Dark Troopers! You can find them
here and on the side-bar on the right.
1/11/24 A Celebratory Time
Its with considerable humility and gratitude that Supernatural Encounters continues to receive love online. The fans are nothing short of amazing,
creative, fun people, and they deserve the best. Join our Discord if you haven't
already (message me
here) and/or
check out the great and growing content on SE's media
page. As regards the second
edition, it will be a three-volume, trade paperback set (illustrations will be
collected in the third volume along with Cult Encounters, the appendices,
and endnotes). Stay tuned here (or on the aforementioned Discord server) for
news and updates.
1/8/24 Happy New Year!
We're off to a bang this year with Supernatural Encounters related
content. Check out the SE page for the
complete list, but some of the recent ones include Alex's (Sombraptor) five-part

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaGdu4Z9t3c&t=2s
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.
