The Essential Guide to the Force...Not necessarily. The Essential Guide to the Force has in-universe stories from their respective time periods. I'm not sure if this is the case with all essential guides though. As it is, Joe has included it at 41 ABY, and 137 ABY - it's the last source on Joe's list.

It's on Joe's timeline, too, but listed during the legacy era, since it would have to have been written then if it's in-universe.Plaristesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-77002333564328032112010-11-02T03:52:49.059-07:002010-11-02T03:52:49.059-07:00I think the first Jedi schism was covered in the E...I think the first Jedi schism was covered in the Essential Guide to the Force, because I remember writing something about that time period, but correct me if I'm wrong.<br /><br />I think now the Essential Atlas will be on my Christmas list, and it'll only be a matter of when, not 'if', I cover its material:)MKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185603415301036071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-74451551904652090862010-11-01T19:13:53.334-07:002010-11-01T19:13:53.334-07:00Well, the Essential Atlas is not a text written in...Well, the Essential Atlas is not a text written in an In-Universe perspective, I guess that's why it isn't included in Joe's timeline. <br />But there is a certain part of it, called "Part III: The Atlas of Galactic History" which tells alot of interesting stuff that happened prior to the Rakatan Infinite Empire. It details the first Jedi Schism and has a great galaxy map with all of the major systems, I always use it to trace the movements of all characters in the books/games/movies I'm examining. Works quite well and just adds to the experience. <br /><br />I would LOVE to see your reactions to it, if you choose to read it that is.Joel Niklassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682943235859640645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-70887767740802317072010-11-01T18:16:54.612-07:002010-11-01T18:16:54.612-07:00I've already got the Exar Kun timeline entry c...I've already got the Exar Kun timeline entry completed in rough draft, so I'll probably have a good draft done sometime this week and ready to post. I forgot to mention that I'll be moving on to JJM's Purgatory after that (I've already read it and have that post mostly written in my head). Once I'm done with JJM's stuff, I'm going to go ahead and look at Dan Wallace's Jedi Path. Something I'm biting at the chomp to get at! The Knight Errant material haunts me a little bit. On the one hand I want to engage with it, but on the other hand time to work on my PhD is getting harder to come by and I want to keep consistently moving forward, and I guess I feel the Knight Errant stuff can wait. I'm still not sure if I want to deal with it as a collective, and therefore wait until its story arc has come to an end, or deal with it piece-meal as it comes out.<br /><br />With regards to the essential atlas, it's still a source text I need to get my hands on, so to be honest I haven't even looked at it. Joe hasn't mentioned it in his timeline, so I guess concerning Star Wars history it was a source I felt I could look at at the end of the project: to fill in the gaps of my Star Wars knowledge.<br /><br />I dunno - is this something I've overlooked? If it is I'll defiantly get my hands on a copy and start picking it apart.MKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185603415301036071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-79253171991305544282010-11-01T10:17:49.060-07:002010-11-01T10:17:49.060-07:00Yeah, Why haven't you made entries about all t...Yeah, Why haven't you made entries about all the information in the Essential Atlas before?Joel Niklassonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10682943235859640645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138626138333949773.post-18311918690461759302010-10-31T12:34:39.974-07:002010-10-31T12:34:39.974-07:00I'm glad you like Pena's work.

He and a few others (especially Dan Wallace and Jason Fry) are masters of adding fascinating lore by adding in short, almost throw-away lines in their work. And most definitely, it's all thought through in minute detail. I'm really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Essential Atlas.<br />If you're planning on doing a "Looking Back Roundup", there are a couple more items you could do as well:<br />TOR Timeline Exar Kun entry<br />Lost Tribe of the Sith: Purgatory (3960 BBY)<br />Knight Errant: Influx (starwars.com) (1032 BBY)<br />The Jedi Path (about 990 BBY, I think)Plaristesnoreply@blogger.com
