Is there a way I can view this chart on my own?

I'm gonna work a bit more on it for a layout which can show the whole thing at once with all the event bubbles and then post that.

@@CoreysDatapad Cool. Can't wait.

What kind of chart is this? I really want to know how you made it.

Better late than never.

Imagine them getting the traditional animation adaptation treatment, even for a bunch of anthologies.

except the cursed drawing of cock eyed Luke at 10:35, that one can stay buried

​@@BlazemanGuitarXnah, that needs to be on a billboard over time square in NYC. 😏

Indeed! He was rather corpulent.

Quite literally lol.

HE CHONK

Interesting take on that detail. When I read that line I saw it more as Dorvan speculating about actors who would rather try to sabotage those negotiations, but taking this as indication that Confederation worlds actually rejoined GA at that point could explain a lot...

Another piece of blatantly obvious evidence that just clicked for me: In the first book of FotJ, the reunification efforts are headed by a Senator Tiurrg Drey'lye of Bothawui, implying that at least the Bothans had already come back into the Alliance at that point, or had at least been working toward that goal for some time.

Another good arc wasted by way of being properly ended on apocrypha. What is this, Cheetor's arc in Beast Machines: Transformers?

😅

They only claim it's convoluted because (realistically) there were dozens of contesting factions after the death of Palpatine. Publishing wise it was fairly organized.

Read the Wookieepedia article for the Death Star plans in Legends and tell me the Rebels acquiring the Death Star plans in Legends wasn't unrealistically convoluted. The opening crawl of SW77 was pretty darn clear: There was a single battle, the first major victory for the Rebellion, and in that battle the Death Star plans were acquired. Cut to what Legends depicts: The Rebels raid Corulag, and capture plans that don't add anything new to what they already knew. Rebels housed in the Death Star I prison complex cause a prison riot, stealing the Death Star plans and sending them to Polis Massa. Biggs Darklighter, who depending on the canonicity of the cut scene from Episode IV shouldn't even be among the Rebels yet, raids a facility in AX-235 and delivers a portion of the Death Star schematics to the Tantive IV on route to Raltiir. Kyle Katarn raids the outpost on Danuta, stealing another portion of the schematics and sending it to the Tantive IV before it arrived at Raltiir, too. The Battle of Toprawa happens and the schematics there are captured too, and Raltiir is blockaded before the Tantive IV arrives. The Tantive IV arrives and Havet Storm on the surface of Raltiir gets _another_ portion of the schematics on Raltiir, then transmits those combined with Bria Tharen's get to the Tantive IV. Darth Vader had time tracking the plans stolen from the Death Star prison break to a false lead in Kalakar Six that was a trick from the Prophets of the Dark Side, and then decided to go to Toprawa to follow the Tantive IV instead of following the plans that went to Polis Massa. Vader can only follow the Tantive IV after it passes through Polis Massa to acquire _those_ portions of the schematics, when the droid spy U-3PO gave away the Tantive IV's location. But U-3PO's signal was irrelevant, because it turns out that there was _another_ portion of schematics that a rogue Moff gave to the Bothan Spynet who somehow got it to the Tantive IV, and all this time the Emperor has been personally killing Bothans on Bothawui, and somehow one of the Bothans knows the Tantive IV is going to Tatooine, and the Emperor contacts Vader and tells him to go there, even though Vader has already been trailing the Tantive IV since Polis Massa, even though the radio drama implied Vader had trailed the Tantive IV from Raltiir. And on the way from Polis Massa to Tatooine, only in that time are the Rebels able to compile these... at least six portions of the Death Star designs. So elegant and realistic. Much better than that trashfire that is the Battle of Scarif. (Oh, and now I realize I couldn't even keep Raltiir and Toprawa separate in my head.)

What is this fanfic series called?

Yeah, the fact that Legends is "non canon" (even though it's really just a secondary canon placed 99% on ice) could kind of work as an _excuse_ for Lucasfilm to "let loose" and be like, "Hey famous Legends author, go crazy and tell us how Luke died in this timeline". Maybe if the stars align, maybe after High Republic or the multimedia event after High Republic ends, they'll decide it's worth it to do a Legends Revisited multimedia event where they think of every major loose end in Legends and let authors tie them up. KOTOR 3, finding out what the deal with Allana Solo was, finding out where they were going to go with Dawn of the Jedi.

@@auctor9165 Star Wars: Attrition by HandofThrawn45 (that's the Pellaeon-focused fiction... For the series, check the author, and aside of using Zonama Sekot for a very fan-fictiony moment in their take on Sword of the Jedi, the writing is IMHO pretty good, on par of at least some SW novels)

The Jedi operated independently and the Lost strive did exist, but they didn't control significant territory, which was the requirement to be on the graph, as I went over a bit when I talked about the Nagai-Tof war and a couple other points.

@@CoreysDatapad Ah, thanks.

Imperial: “Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a rebel.” Rebel: “And what about fighting side by side by side with a friend?” Imperial: “Aye, that I can do.”

Imperial: “Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with a rebel.” Rebel: “And what about side by side with a friend?” Imperial: “Aye, that I can do.”

It's Endor what caused this massive split tho, or rather a chain of splits. Before that you'd just have one huge section, that being the Galactic Empire, and a tiny tiny line being rebels, still only since 2BBY. And of courde during the Clone War it'd be simmilar, with the Republic instead of GE and a smaller parallel section being the CIS. So the chart would be boring af. It could work with some Old Republic eras tho.

@@emzonik8851 the Old republic is really what I meant. I guess I should have been more specific lol

@@daltonsherrod1573 Well, you know, OR is pre-Endor in the same way Ceasar is pre-WW2

@@emzonik8851 very true 😂😂😂 I do think it would still be neat to see the entire timeline done in this style, even if less dramatic

A timeline between Yavin and Endor would be quite interesting and easily fleshed out.

I'll get there eventually. It's much trickier.

I'd like one of these with every. single. Imperial. remnant. All of them! 😱

Lucas's sequel trilogy would've retconned most of this too. You know it to be true.

Because a full map of the galaxy with shifting, while a long-term goal with the galactic map graphics I've been working on over the years with the campaign maps, will take much, much more work.I also just like Sankeys.

@@CoreysDatapad fair enough, though such a map would be the first of its kind and rather insightful for those less chart savvy. A future project perhaps or one I may have to turn my own mind towards.

It'll happen, in the same way I've done the other campaign breakdowns showing different territory on the map, but when "campaign map with shifting territory" means "every campaign with all territory" there's way more work involved.

Yep, I'll cover other areas like this eventually

Possibly copyright infringement

I'm doing a bit of editing to make it work better as a single still image, then it'll be posted

...Is it a good thing to place it all on Darth Sidious, narratively? Is that even what Lucas intended? There was rot in the Republic and the Jedi Order even before Sidious arrived on the scene, and there would have been that rot even if Bane's heirs hadn't been scheming unseen for a thousand years. A lot of it falls on the Republic citizenry as a whole, if they hadn't backslid and took democracy for granted, Sidious's scheming wouldn't have had any threads to pull at. Lucas says as much in story sessions with the director and screenwriter or Empire or Jedi, when comparing Sidious to Nixon.

You're insane if adapting some book plot points and main characters is some insurmountable task to you. Just because graphs like this look incomprehensible doesn't mean Legends is incomprehensible mess. I would have faithfully adapted Legacy of the Force instead of doing the 25% different Rey/Kylo story and accidentally making her a Palpatine lmao at the end 😂 And fans will throw stones at me, but that's easier to adapt into movies than 19 books of the Vong war, or the asinine thing they're doing now where they're doing Thrawn without OT characters anywhere. The real problem they had is greed and paying these authors their deserved money for popular characters, not how hard it is adapt or how messy it was.

The actors for Luke, Leia and Han might have been old enough that the sequel trilogy could've picked up after Fate of the Jedi. I do think they would've had to write an entirely new story with a new anti-New-Republic villainous force, maybe underworld groups like Lucas wanted to do in his '00s/'10s conception of a sequel trilogy. Even then, it'd be weird because they'd have to mention that Chewbacca died between Episodes VI and VII, without being able to say, "Yeah, when those extragalactic invaders cut off from the Force invaded and used biological technology to make moons collide with planets, it's a long story that isn't relevant here." What's certain is that Lucas's sequel trilogy would've retconned a bunch of EU things even if it wasn't absolutely necessary to.

@@coreyander286 ANH said Ben fought in some weird Clone Wars and no one minded... That's just how Star Wars rolls. You can even make a homage scene between Luke and Rey if they want to copy the OT so damn much! "You fought in the Yuuzhan Vong War?. Yes, I was once a Jedi Master the same as your uncle's former roommate..."

It's not thrown in the trash, it's just put on ice. And look at how the Death Star plans were acquired in Legends versus the Battle of Scarif in Disney canon and tell me the Legends storytellers didn't really drop the ball.

@@coreyander286 I get why people would prefer the Canon version. However, thevplans being divided and located in differentnplaces was much more sensical and cool. Besides, Jyn Erso will NEVER be on the same level as Kyle Katarn and Bria Tharen
