Star Wars Galaxy Map

November 26th 2007 03:24

George Lucas may have come up with the Star Wars Universe, but time and time again, it's being shown that the true depth of the sci-fi series comes from the adulation and love of the fans.

An excellent case in point: Lucas' scripts make mention of systems and planets that sound pretty snazzy in a script: Coruscant, Tatooine, Corellia, Alderaan. But where the hell are these places?

A fan-made map of the Star Wars Galaxy is available for your hitchhiking though a non-existent galaxy. You can peer into it and wonder how many incredible movies, books, video games and comics are waiting to be made. I know I do.

I found this on /Film, a great little film blog that appeals to the film lover and the brutish geek inside all of us. Well, ok, just in me and the other geeks.

From the post:

"I would love to be able to purchase this sucker in poster form. You know, LucasFilm should hire us to create new product ideas (not like they need even more products…). A few weeks ago we ran a story on a poster which included the complete Star Wars saga. It’s another great example of something that, for some reason or another, George Lucas has yet to create for sell-able purposes, yet would sell incredibly well to fanboys."

The post also provides a link to the real deal: this image is from Star Wars Insider and you can go to their site and get a high-res, detailed map, with cool little notes.

Update: The image on slashfilm goes up and down, so I've put it here on 20/20 Filmsight: Click here to see the large, detailed version of the Star Wars Galaxy Map!

Sure, you might think that this is a big waste of time, but I see brilliance behind it. It's a magnificent testament, as substantial as a statue or a painting, to the infinite creativity of the human imagination. We need dreams like this, we need to imagine galaxies like this, where we can invent stories and be spellbound by something that is merely an idea. It's intangible, but almost made real by enough people wishing for it.

Acutally -- you just need to take the 2 off the end of the image file name.

I used to have that poster. It came with the old Star Wars magazines from a few years back. Very nicely detailed, though it became outdated quickly what with Episode III and all the novels since.

Cibby,

I couldn't 'link' to the map pic either... it said FORBIDDEN, I didn't have permission to be in that part of the Galaxy at all

this map makes me wonder what the Drake Equation would be for the Star Wars universe?
