Okay, I’ve been told I need to do this dramatically.

Ahem

Next month I will start my next deep dive thread. Remember those threads with 400+ posts where I anally analyze a particular Star Wars lore book?

They are back.

And this one... this one is going to cause me extra pain.
In the meantime, please enjoy my current thread about EVERY STAR A DESTINATION. It’s not *actual* Star Wars but it’s... it’s very Star Wars.
What threads have I done before? Happy you asked! This is a small catalogue.
Solo: The Guide

The first thread I made, other than a very barebones look at the Rogue One Visual Guide. This is shorter than usual. So short it fit in a Twitter Moment! twitter.com/i/events/10047…
Smugglers’ Guide

The first actual deep dive. The thread got broken several times, but it’s not too hard to follow. A fantastic look at the galactic underworld through criminal eyes...
Scum and Villainy

...and then a look at said underworld through the eyes of a family of cops. They really complement each other!
Tales from Vandor

The last entry in my trilogy of threads about underworld-related books. A shorter one but still full of goodies!
Rogue One Visual Guide

The latest one, and the one that nearly killed me. An attempt to inpt ve upon my original analysis. Technically unfinished, as I couldn’t find a way to portray the concept art chapter without posting all the art!
And sometime in December...

We are going to travel to...

The Necronomicon of visual guides...

An excellent and comprehensive book about the one Star Wars film I actually hate...

Yes...

It’s......... The Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary

Pray for Mojo.

IMPERIAL-CLASS STAR DESTROYER

Thanks to the military ramp-up during the Clone Wars, many starship construction facilities have been turned into forges of death churning out massive Star Destroyers.

The mentioned shipyards are Kuat, Corellia, Ringo Vinda, and Fondor. Image
Kuat, the home of Kuat Drive Yards, was first mentioned in WEG's Star Wars Sourcebook and has since been seen in both Legends and canon.

Corellia's shipyards are seen in Solo building ISDs, so you can call this mention a teaser. ImageImage
Ringo Vinda is another artificial-ring world, this one seen in TCW.

And Fondor is a shipyard first seen in the Archie Goodwin strips back in 1981, and since canonized by the Battlefront 2 campaign. ImageImage

CHAPTER 3: OCCUPIED TERRITORY

Welcome to Jedha, where Saw Gerrera and his people fight against the Imperial occupation of the Holy City.

I rarely post pictures of the books I go through but... come on, I just had to post this.
JEDHA: ANCIENT SPIRITUALITY

First, let's look at Jedha's planetary profile. It's located in the Mid Rim, very close to the Unknown Regions, and it's a moon of NaJedha.

We wouldn't see NaJedha itself until the Star Wars comic, and... it's kind of weird but pretty.
Jedha used to be very popular until the hyperroute taking to it decayed and fell into disuse. Nowadays only people who don't want to be found or pilgrims looking for answers visit the moon.

Welcome to another deep-drive thread boosted by quarantine boredom. This time we are going to look into my favorite not-IU Star Wars reference book from the Disney era: @pablohidalgo and Kemp Remillard's "Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide" Image
The usual rules apply:
-A page-by-page analysis
-Everything contained to one single easily-muted (cough) thread
-One picture per thread but never scans or pictures from the book (buy it, it's been a while and it's cheap now) Image
What's this guide? It's a combination visual dictionary/cross-section book about Rogue one, the first and best Star Wars spinoff movie

Why now? Why this late? Well, I had to get it out of storage. What? I live in a little house. Image

Okay, I'm going to share my favorite example of this kind of thinking. It was one of the first times I got 100% tired of the continuity bullshit that had taken over my hobby.
This is Sia-Lan Wezz. She was created by artists Adam Hughes to be an example Jedi character in the d20 RPG. Later, she was added to a comic because AH contributed a cover with her, and she died in the pages of that comics.

Got it? Got it.
But wait! Check her Wookieepedia entry! Apparently there's a contradictory account of her death! Oh wow. Well, that sucks, but it happens.

One second. The source is the Galactic Campaign Guide? What?

Hello and welcome to another deep-dive thread! This time we will be looking at a small but stuffed with goodness book by @jasoncfry: Tales from Vandor!
As every book I analyze in these threads, TFV is an in-universe text. The IU author is a man known as Midnight, a barkeep at the Lodge on Vandor. As you would expect, he's met a lot of underworld characters, including all the main players in the movie Solo.
This book is less structured than the previous ones, so I'm going to be checking a few pages a day and probably adding a page # here and there for those following at home.

So, without further ado, let's begin!

My Galaxy’s Edge character is Oomo Gluptu, a Dantooine poacher mad that he’s getting dragged to Batuu during the first stages of a galactic pandemic
Rey just told me that “galaxy’s edge” is the spacey term for rimjob,
“Please follow a staff members!” How would I know what staff is? This is all SO IMMERSIVE!
