    So, as was announced some time ago, we will indeed get an updated and canon version of the Complete Locations guide! Jedi Bibliothek has the cover and a preview here. Now that's excellent news.

    How can this possibly be complete until the NU is "done"?

    I don't . . . I don't understand.

    Looks pretty, though.

    It's as complete as Ultimate Star Wars is ultimate, but I still want the book. It'll probably mean recanonizations galore.

    I'm still sad I missed Penultimate Star Wars. :(

    Agreed. I'm definitely interested in this kind of stuff but I don't think I would be picking one up after only a year. I think I will wait five to ten years before getting these kinds of books.

    It's not like these locations will suddenly change in-film.

    Maybe a little more complete than Ultimate is ultimate, since this'll include TFA. :p

    Thank-you for re-creating this page that I originally made, before it was deleted and I was blocked by a spiteful TROUSERS named Cade Calaryn.

    Okay maybe I was a little too aggressive. Forget I said that.

    Sorry, we're not going to forget you said that. Keep your offsite conflicts offsite, or you'll have trouble here too.


    Missa ab iPhona mea est.

    I'd rather wait for the Complete Locations until the Sequel-Trilogy is done. Much better for the wallet and the bookshelf.

    Although I'm curious about what sizes will be given for the DeathStars in this book.

    I'm more interested in the Executor tower pages.

    I wonder if Panaka still becomes a Moff. One thing that probably won't be there is the R-22 Spearhead in the Great Temple.

    (At first glance, it seems the preview spread is identical to what is found in the 2005 version, when it comes to the content.)

    I never had the original Complete Locations, is it possible that we'll get a new canon map of the GFFA?

    Unlikely. Those "Inside the Worlds" book explore precise locales, not galactic geography. That being said, the original book did contain a galactic map, but not the kind you're looking for:

    Ten bucks says it stays in, if only to make things needlessly and pointlessly complicated. I will honestly be shocked if it isn't in there.

    Star Wars: Graphics has already mentioned them.


    The book does not seem to have been very well proofread though - there's lots of inconsistencies - and it gives Midi-chlorian count figures for many movie characters - which seem to match up to Supershadow's figures, of all things.

    Let's ignore Graphics. Pablo doesn't even seem to know it exists. And if I'm not mistaken, the original was written by a French journalist, who definitely has nothing to do with Lucasfilm.

    It did have a Disney tag on the back. It seems to be a mix of material, including very late Legendsverse - the Falcon's length in it is 34.37 m, which I think first appeared in Millennium Falcon Owner's Workshop Manual (TFA: Incredible Cross Sections updates it to 34.52 m).

    Yes, but potato chips with Darth Vader's head on the package also gave a Disney tag. ;-) I guess it's one of those things the Story Group doesn't bother with, like The infamous "Official Visual Story Guide" or the "Jedi Master Magazine."

    Or the "Helmets" magazine series that's ongoing.



    When I google it, images with French language do turn up. I'm guessing that journalist did the work, it was published in France, and then Disney, for unfathomable reasons, decided to translate it into English and republish it?

    Star Wars Graphics has midi-chlorian counts in it! What was Obi-Wan's?

    I'm 99% sure the author simply copy-pasted Supershadow's figures:

    Anakin Skywalker = 27,700
    Darth Sidious = 20,500
    Yoda = 17,700
    Luke = 14,500
    Leia = 14,500
    Darth Tyranus = 13,500
    Obi-Wan Kenobi = 13,400
    General Grievous = 11,900
    Average Jedi = 10,000
    Chewbacca = 7,200
    Need To be Considered for Training as a Jedi = 7,000
    Padme Amidala = 4,700
    Beru Lars = 3,700
    Shmi = 3,300
    Lando Calrissian = 3,300
    Boba Fett= 1,500
    Han Solo = 1,500
    Jango Fett = 1,500
    Owen Lars = 1,500

    Yeah, this is definitely from SuperShadow. Wow. The fact that this book exists makes the Story Group look horrible.
