A sub dedicated to creating a reference wiki for Star Wars canon.

Welcome to Star Wars Reference! This sub is dedicated to maintaining a wiki which curates and analyzes the Star Wars narrative and universe as it's revealed. The aim of this sub is not to duplicate or replace Wookieepedia, but address topics and subjects outside its scope.

If an item does not appear in our records, then someone should add it.

Rules:

  • All posts should be related to questions about, submitting articles to, or improving the wiki.
  • You may submit potential articles on the sub and the wiki team will it for inclusion in the wiki.
  • The wiki is for analyzing and curating information that appears in canonical sources only.
  • No speculation or opinion (unless it's about the wiki).
  • Include citations and links. Widely known story information from the movies does not need to be referenced.
  • Treat other board members with respect.
  • Do not post spoilers before a work's release date. Officially released excerpts or advertising material is fair game.

Are Midichlorians exponential in power?

Pretty simple question. As Midichlorians go higher in count, does the being in question's force sensitivity rise exponentially until eventual omnipotence? Darth Sidious had an estimated count of 19,000 or so, and Anakin was at 20,000 or more, and Anakin was unbelievably more powerful in comparison with only 1,000 more.

Anyone have or know of an up-to-date "no spoilers" chapter-by-chapter-by-comic reading order?

Finally ready to dive in and was hoping to do it this way. Here's an example I found of what I am looking for, but this only includes the first couple of releases

Canon, Legends and Non-Canon Watch List

Hello there,

I'm a part of the YouTube channel Star Wars Audio Comics. Recently we made a chronological watch playlist with everything canon on it (including fan adaptations of stuff like our audio comics and stuff from other channels). But this also includes a lot of stuff from Legends and Non-Canon as well. Non-Canon is stuff like infinities, fan films and Lego shows.

Here's the timeline which has more info about it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_hLZMC00YX5TxboZNiWm9fZR4V5GlELLYEBKK3bBISU/edit?usp=sharing

Resistance tv series timeline

Dear friends, u/Deboz96 and I have discussed a little about the timelining of Resistance, and you can see here the result.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fWkYdq7nmsSTjybRkBxc9oaVMaydx41WzEWlGPzQL1Q

Please keep in mind that it's a very simple work, we didn't big calculation except for the date found on S&V.

Basically all revolves around the placement of TFA and TLJ.

For those who miss it, here is the explanation of the calendar used in S&V discovered by u/Deboz96: https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsReference/comments/fw49qe/i_think_i_deciphered_the_hosnian_reckoning_crc/

And here the subsequent dates inferred: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GOA0Ebec6A87abDf6xTz_ejcy1_0Y7RUIwZzHmkNB7E/edit

Star Wars Starships

Hello everyone! A while ago I started this series on the chronological appearance of on-screen starships. I haven't made many but I try to get back to producing them when I can cause they're a lot of fun. I hope you consider having a watch. Enjoy!

I've made a chronological watchlist of all main Star Wars media including anything connected to Mandalore and/or Maul!

https://i.imgur.com/AsSoL3y.png

With the recent release of the first season of the Mandalorian as well as the final season of the Clone Wars, I thought it would be a good idea to have a watchlist of all watchable Star Wars media that is about Mandalore. So I've put together a list in chronological order of the relevant episodes of Clone Wars and Rebels that revolve around Mandalore, Mandalorians, and Death Watch. Since Maul is so important to the history of Mandalore I've also included any episodes that include Maul, and with that come also most of the episodes that involve the Nightsisters. Finally I've included every movie and the two video games that come with a campaign, since they provide context, and of course all episodes of the Mandalorian. Please let me know if I've missed anything or got something wrong! Hope you find this list useful and have fun watching. Here's a link to the live spreadsheet in case I make any updates: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TqrbhEI0Iz4dz8DlQgxZ7U-cxzVIMm5bYf5pEAGsehM/edit?usp=sharing

How much is a "Megalight per hour"?

https://drive.google.com/open?id=19RxK_B4LHCSG7UK4oT2-x16M-IHoIFqO_TP1E6lQN0s

"Megalight per hour" is the unit used to measure the relative sub-light speed of starships in real-space.

u/Deboz96 had a very good idea, noticing what follows from the short story "Raymus", in From a certain point of view.

«We're at sublight speed for the rest of the way.»

«Where are we?»[...]

«We're close, about a quarter parsec out.»[...]

«How long at best speed?»[...]

«Eight minutes.»

Speed of light is 299792.458 km/s or 0.000299792 billions km/s

1 light year (ly) is 9460.730473 billions km

1 parsec (pc) = 3.26156 ly

Max sub-light speed of Tantive IV is 0.25 pc (0.81539 ly) in 8 min, so 0.10192375 ly/min or 6.115425 ly/hr.

But it's still an ultra-light speed!

Furthermore, from Star Wars Super Graphic we know that the max sub-light speed of a CR90 corvette is 81 MLGT.

So:

6.115425 ly/hr = 81 MLGT

1 MLGT = 0.075499074 ly/hr

1 LGT = 7.54991 10^-08 ly/hr = 714276.3907 km/hr

The problem remains: it's still ultra-light speed.

If what we read in the story isn't an error by Gary Whitta, we must reconsider what in SW is called "speed of light" and/or ultra-light and sub-light speed...

The Clone Wars month-by-month media timeline

Hi,

I've just finished this TCW month-by-month media timeline spreadsheet and I'd like to share it with you. Still have to write some notes and references. Anyway, all dates are calculated according to the following sources:

Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious;
• the starwars.com official TCW order;
The Clone Wars itself;
• Pablo Hidalgo and Matt Martin's informations;
Galactic Maps, where not clearly wrong;
Dark Disciple;
Darth Maul – Son of Dathomir;
Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition;
Lego – The Freemaker Adventures (not canon but not contradicting canon events).

Hope you'll appreciate it. Enjoy!

Naboo Calendar

According to Rise of the Separatists (FFG sourcebook) and Complete Locations, each Naboo year lasts 312 days and each Naboo day lasts 26 standard hour. Thus each Naboo year lasts 8,112 standard hours, i.e. 338 standard days.

In The Clone Wars S4:E18 – Crisis on Naboo, which takes place shortly after November 25, 21 BBY (Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious), we see the 847th Festival of Light, which celebrates the 847th anniversary of Naboo joining the Republic.

We know that Padmé's coronation takes place in Grizm 34, 835th Year of Kwilaan (Propaganda – A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy), probably shortly after her election. 835th Year of Kwilaan takes place between 834th Festival of Light and 835th Festival of Light, so between 12 and 13 Naboo years before November 25, 21 BBY. Moreover, Padmé's coronation takes place before April 25, 32 BBY (Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious).

Last but not least, each term lasts two years, which I interpreted as two Naboo years (Queen's Shadow).

So, after this introduction and after my own calculations, here's what I found:

• Padmé (1st term): December 33 BBY/April 32 BBY to October 31 BBY/March 30 BBY;
• Padmé (2nd term): October 31 BBY/March 30 BBY to September 29 BBY/January 28 BBY;
• Réillata: September 29 BBY/January 28 BBY to July/November 27 BBY;
• ?: July/November 27 BBY to May/September 25 BBY;
• ?: May/September 25 BBY to March/July 23 BBY;
• Jamillia: March/July 23 BBY to January/June 21 BBY (AOTC takes place in June 22 BBY);
• Neeyutnee: January/June 21 BBY to December 20 BBY/April 19 BBY (fits with Blue Shadow Virus and Crisis on Naboo both taking place in 21 BBY and moreover explains why we see Jamillia in AOTC and Neeyutnee in Blue Shadow Virus);
• Apailana: December 20 BBY/April 19 BBY to October 18 BBY/February 17 BBY (fits with ROTS taking place in March/July 19 BBY and with Apailana becoming Queen towards the end of the Clone Wars).

I think I deciphered the Hosnian reckoning (C.R.C. calendar)

Hello there,

I've been following this sub for a while and I've grown interested in timelines, chronologies and calendars within the GFFA. Some time ago I've bought Scum and VillainyCase Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious and I've tried to solve the Hosnian reckoning mystery. This is what I got:

• The first 4 digits are the year, this was pretty an easy task. 0 BBY/ABY = 7977 C.R.C. etc.

• The following 3 digits are the portion of the year that has already passed. For example:

– 7977.331 (capture of princess Leia above Tatooine) means that 33,1% of the year has already passed. 33,1% • 365 = 120,8 days. This means we are in the 121st day of the year (May 1st, which perfectly fits with ANH set in May);

– 7945.313 (Boonta Eve Classic) means that 31,3% of the year has already passed. 31,3% • 365 = 114,2 days. We are on the 115th day of the year (April 25th, which is 2 days after Anakin's birthday in Legends).

What do you think about?

PS: please forgive my grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

EDIT
Here are my personal calculations:

• TPM = April 25, 32 BBY;
• AOTC = June 11, 22 BBY;
• Nack Movers = February 6, 21 BBY;
• Boba Fett arrest = February 7, 21 BBY (a bit too close to Nack Movers but I think that's because Lightsaber Lost spans across several days and ends February 6)
• Moogan Tea = February 14, 21 BBY
• Ziro's Death = March 22, 21 BBY
• Obi-Wan in disguise as Rako Hardeen = November 25, 21 BBY (it accounts perfectly the time jump)
• Jedi Temple bomb = March 16, 20 BBY
• Barriss Offee arrested = March 19, 20 BBY
• ANH = May 1, 0 BBY/ABY (I use to call it only 0 since they're the same year)
• TESB = June 3, 3 ABY

I have a list of all the unproduced CLone Wars episodes

I made this about a year ago and just realized I never shared it here where people would most appreciate it. I made it using various pieces of information, such as the confirmation that Season 7 and 8 would've been solely four parters (quite reminiscent of Classic Doctor Who, actually). That bit was actually extremely useful, as it allowed me to know how many episodes were in each arc.

Which months are the films set in?

Obviously in Legends we had specific year:month:day dates for the six films, but has any of that specificity found its way into canon yet? I know Pablo keeps his "real-world" calendar that puts Rookies in "September 1955", and he's guessed ROTS is in mid-July, but has anyone uncovered any other specific dates?

Alternatives to wookieepedia?

Hello! I was wondering if there was any other decent star Wars reference sites besides wookieepedia? It's a hard website to navigate with a phone or even a computer due to the layout, ads, and overall lack of ease-of-use. It seemed to have changed significantly over the years, I remember it mimicking Wikipedia more years ago which was far more ideal. Thanks!

Has Anyone Seen The 'Droids' Cartoon?

No idea if this is the place to ask something like this but I thought since everyone here is a fan of star wars lore and obscure areas of the franchise that I'd ask has anyone seen the droids cartoon from the 80s, I never hear any reference to it at all- it's a prequel to the original trilogy (yes , a prequel before the prequels) focused on c3po and r2d2 and is far worse than it deserves to be , I actually like the droids and thought it had promise but it wasn't great . If anyone's curious this is a full playlist of the series from youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riIOiNq0RHk&list=PLx1UA5PiBi5rVuSDFr3JLYdUE80O_aCH3 if anyone wants a feel of the show without a full episode this is a short video I made on the subject- obviously you can ignore this but I didn't see any rules against sharing ones own work so I thought i'd just leave the option for anyone potentially interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8Mip-eWRh8

Galactic Empire Structure and Rank Insignia v2

So below is the source list from my new SOLO update rank chart. As this is SW Reference im only posting the Source/Working Copy with what is canon, what is shaky and what is extrapolated.

While parts of this may be "speculation" i have marked everything in green that is canon and verifiable, so i hope it passes muster.

(the idea is as canon gets more filled out to fix the chart to match that canon)

Let me know of any issues.

So after I finish Most Wanted, I decided to read Catalyst for some Engineer clues. I ended up finding that I wanted to do a revamped timeline for it and here it is. I took two pages of notes so I am 90% sure it is pretty accurate but feel free to point out any inaccuracies
