  1. You are missing a game Battle for Naboo, which was also missing from Timelineuniverse's list. Perhaps the archives are incomplete. I found it from Wookieepedia's "Timeline of Media"-page.

  2. A few of the items listed I would put in a slightly different order. Also, there are a number of missing items in the list. So, trying to be helpful, I've slightly rearranged a couple of the items and added everything I can think of that's missing. Below is my revised list for 32 BBY. It's pretty long, so I'll have to do this in multiple posts (hopefully the formatting isn't too bad).

  4. I should also point out that the first year of the Living Force rpg campaign begins in 32 BBY. Joe doesn't list the individual scenarios for this campaign, and since they don't really interact with other SW stories, it might be easiest to simply do the entire first year after having gone through all of the other 32 BBY stories.

  6. Oops, I forgot to add the TPM motion comic, supposedly watchable at http://www.starwars.com/eu/lit/comics/f19990501/index.html

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh boy,

    I have my work cut out for me.

    Thanks for the help and input everyone. I'm going to be using Plaristes list as the guide to 32 BBY.

    So....much...nonsense....on the Phantom Menace....I've got a bad feeling abou this....

    ReplyDelete
  8. Yeah, it's ridiculous how many adaptations and tie-ins there are to TPM (and they keep coming out!).

    ReplyDelete
  9. Rogue1-and-a-half handled 32 bby decently well, I thought, and got out of it in one piece. Here is his thread.

    http://boards.theforce.net/literature/b10003/20000293/p1

    I like to read Darth Maul: Saboteur as a introduction to Cloak of Deception.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Rouge 1-and-a-half is defiantly a good example, thanks for pointing out his work to me. Maybe I can convince him to add his thoughts over here.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Plaristes, does the Obi-Wan video game finish in a different time period? Would it makes sense simply to finish the game in one go after Cloak of Deception?

    ReplyDelete
  12. You could either do it all in one go, or break it up like the Galactic Battlegrounds game. If memory serves, the game doesn't go further than TPM, so if you want to do the whole thing in one go, you could either do it after Cloak of Deception or later with the TPM adaptations.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I think I might do the Galactic Battle grounds all in one go.

    There are still some other sources I'm having trouble getting my hands on. Could you send me the Smugglers of Naboo senario? Every site I've been too wants my personal info and I'm always relecutant to hand it out.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Wow, as far as I can tell, there's no article about "The Smugglers of Naboo" on wookieepedia. That's a rare oversight. Since it was free, I don't think there's any harm in posting a link here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TRR5ZMQN

  15. That's awesome Plaristes, got it saved!

  16. Hi MKB,

    been following this blog for a while now. I started my own chronological journey way back in 2007 (currently finishing up 4 aby!!), and am loving reading your thoughts as you make the same journey

    While I'm sure you have an extensive library of SW media, we all struggle filling in those gaps of hard to find publications, so thought I would bring to your attention a pasttime of mine - creating custom paperbacks and graphic novels to allow myself to have hard copies of various stories without having to read things on the computer. find my post on the kaskus boards, complete with photos, for some examples...

    http://www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?p=374032409#post374032409

    in the meantime, keep up the good work!

  17. Wow daveytod, thanks for the good words of encouragement and the awesome link! There is a lot for me to digest there and for sure I'll be reading it over in detail.

    The publication I'm having the most trouble finding right now are the Episode 1 adventure journals, but I'm going to give Scholastics a call tomorrow to see if they have any old copies laying around. I doubt they do but it's worth making a phone call.

    Anyway, please, feel free to throw in you're two cents and reactions to these pieces as well. I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Thanks for stopping by, it's always great to meet other Star Wars chronologists/ Star Wars-ology PhD candidates.
