A week ago I posted my Simplified version of the Star Wars Galaxy map. I got a lot of feedback on it, and decided I could do better. I've spent a good chunk of time making a much better version here. I am reasonably confident that this version is much more canon compliant than the previous one.


FAQ

Q: Why isn't Tatooine in Hutt Space?

A: Because it's not. Tatooine is ruled by a Hutt, but it isn't within their territory. Their sphere of influence extends past their borders.


Q: Why is Tatooine further away from Coruscant than Naboo is, and why did they go from Naboo to Tatooine in Episode 1?

A: Great question. I'm uncertain why Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan picked that route, but this is how it is on all official Star Wars maps. Naboo is a Mid Rim planet, while Tatooine is an Outer Rim planet, so by necessity, it has to be at least slightly further away from Coruscant.


Q: Why does it say Kamino is in the Outer Rim, when it's actually outside the galaxy?

A: This map is a 2D representation of a 3D space. Galaxies are not perfectly flat. To account for this, the hyperlane connecting Rishi to Kamino is an upward curve, and a dotted line, to indicate it is an unusual hyperlane that goes "upward".


Q: Where is Planet X or Y?

A: By design, not every planet and system is shown on this map. To keep the map relatively uncluttered, easy to use and read, I only included notable planets/systems.


Q: Why are the Unknown Regions so empty?

A: Because navigation through that region is notoriously difficult in the Star Wars lore. There are no established hyperlanes. To travel through that region, you typically need a star chart specific to your destination, or a Force user capable of plotting a route, as most starship nav computers aren't capable of it.


Q: Why is the Deep Core so empty?

A: At the core of every galaxy lies a super massive black hole, around which the galaxy spins. The stars in that region are so tightly clustered that it makes traversal difficult as well. Density of supernova's and regular black holes also make it pretty inhospitable.


Q: Where is At Attin?
A: Good question.


Q: How did you make this map?
A: I made it entirely in Photoshop. About 16 hours of work, all in all.

Beautiful. Really puts into perspective how far removed the Chiss Ascendancy is from the rest of the Galaxy.
