The Ultimate
Chronology
Star Wars being the most popular film trilogy of all time, there are
numerous websites dedicated to different aspects of the Star Wars universe.
There are websites with comprehensive background information, but also with
sound files and movie clips. Uncountable sites with images in all possible
formats, sites with the complete scripts, homepages dedicated to Luke,
Leia, Han & Darth Vader ofcourse, but also on some of the minor characters.
There's no end to it...
But Star Wars is ofcourse the movies, the stories, the adventures. What I
offer here is the order of the stories, the chronology. I started with this
because I couldn't find any complete list of ALL Star Wars adventures. The
only thing left to do ofcourse, is to make one myself!
Okay, credit where credit is due:
Thanks ofcourse to the mastermind himself, George Lucas. Visit the
LucasArts website at http://www.lucasarts.com/ . The icon is from the
LucasArts website. Practically all of the information on the comics is from
Dark Horse, so if you want to know more about a specific comic, you should
visit their website at http://www.dhorse.com/ . The icon and the ones below
are all from the Dark Horse Comics website. Most of the books are from Bantam
Spectra, information on these books is available at their website at
http://www.bdd.com/ . The icon is from the Bantam Doubleday Dell website. A
few other books and lots of non-fiction Star Wars books are published by Del Rey, visit their website at http://www.randomhouse.com/delrey/ . The icon is from the Del Rey website.
