Below is a complete discussion of how the SW Books timeline went from Legends to canon to the canon High Republic redesign with everything in between. Ethos, placement explanations, nonsense, omissions, redesign decisions, tidbits, more nonsense, and more. (1/TOO MANY) To start, you need to understand two core design principles:
1) Primary use: New/lapsed/infrequent SW readers. Provide a high-level reminder of where in the saga a book takes place

2) Usable design that avoids clutter or becomes too busy and imposing

Remember them!

Well I'm bored so maybe I'll put together an explainer on the SW books timeline design, why it was redesigned for Light of the Jedi, why stuff is "missing" etc.

This will probably be boring, so its excellent twitter content. This is gonna take some time. Gotta take photos of various timeline incarnations. Drink some water, have a snack, maybe contact your reps, tidy up or something while you wait.

After all that tax nonsense, you all deserve a story. So…

*adopts announcer's voice*

Presenting the story of how I (unintentionally) nearly taught a class of 7th graders the meaning of the word “jailbait” and Star Wars saved me.

Not my finest moment. (1/17...here we go) Before publishing, I was a teacher. I would long-term sub for teachers that had to be out for weeks or months at a time. In these cases, they needed someone to craft/execute lesson plans, not just have students watch a video. I'm overeducated so I can fill a lot of roles.
