Is there really going to be a "Darth Bane" novel and a "Sith Era" novel in 2006 and 2007 respectively? Where is this information?

Yes- though we don't have any other information about either title yet, other than their authors, their Oct 06/Oct 07 release dates, and that they are both hardcovers. Though it was revealed a couple months ago the first would be about Darth Bane's life (up to, and possibly including, the events of the Jedi vs Sith comic and the aftermath).

Star Tours is a flight simulator ride at Disney theme parks, revolving around a short movie made by Lucas and ILM.

It's set after ROTJ, and the Star Tours company is offering service to tourist spots on Endor (among other planets). Your pilot droid, Rex, makes a wrong turn, which eventually ends up sending you through a comet storm made up on crystal asteroids, and into the middle of a battle between Rebel and Imperial forces, culiminating in an attack run on a third Death Star.

(however, there's been a lot of speculation that it wasn't really an actual Death Star but rather a modified Habitation Sphere as seen in the Illustrated SW Universe)

Will you be removing the Elizabeth Hand OR novel?

According to Sue Rostoni's blog, the Elizabeth Hand Old Republic HC has been cancelled:

Elizabeth Hand was slated to write a novel set in the Old Republic Era but, over-committed with other projects, has reconsidered and stepped out. Ms. Hand's hardcover was slated for an October 2007 release so this still gives us plenty of time to assign another author and explore other Eras as possible settings.

Thanks for making this timeline, it's priceless.

I know it's not an actual EU source but I'd love to see, as mentioned by GL himself in The Making of ROTS, an entry something like:

104 years ABY - R2-D2 recounts the saga to The Keeper Of The Whills.

To me the entire EU is the Journal of the Whills and I love the thought of the culmination of the saga being Artoo leaving his legacy for us to enjoy and after his long service to the good of the galaxy shutting himself down and esentially becoming one with the force. It would be great to see this documented in the EU.

I hope that LFL never release any EU after this event, it seems a fitting ending.

Be fun tos ee that listed- but specififc events like that are more appropriate for Time Tales or Timeline Gold- ones that summarize the events, not just list the sources.

You're right. But I hope they do cover that story in the EU at some point.

Whence comes the NJO chronology? I thought it was always assumed that each of the hardcovers marked the beginning of a new year, from 25-29 ABY.

It's not the start of a year, just that there is a about a year between each hardcover.

Any chance of an update - ie removing the Elizabeth Hand novel?

Also do you have the original sources for all the sohrt stories, I would really like to try and track them all down.

I think we have a thread for that, i'll take a look.

Most of the ones I've listed in the timeline are available on Hyperspace or in the Tales from the New Republic/Empire anthology books.

EDIT- update posted

Apologies if I've missed it but is Clone Wars Adventures Vol. 4 missing?

Don't suppose you'd hazard a guess as to when the Death Star novel will be set? wink
