Welcome
back to THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM! Yes, more updates. First of all, I'm
officially launching the Starport Press blog. You can find it here. I'll
no longer be posting any original work news and stuff on this blog, but I
definitely will on my LiveJournal (to visit my LiveJournal, you can follow the
LiveJournal link on the "Me Across the Net" page, click the LiveJournal
logo on the sidebar, or just click here). I'll also be posting
in-universe The Second Imperium Trilogy updates on the ISMF
blog (to visit the ISMF blog, click the "ISMF Headquarters" button
under the blog's title and description and follow the instructions). Something
cool (I personally think) with the Starport blog is that if you click the
"Visit the Forums" button, you can visit the new Starport Press
forums. Yay! I've updated the Complete Timeline of Star Wars Legends, so if you
click the Complete Timeline of Star Wars Legends button under the blog's title
and description, you'll see that I've added the Indiana Jones quadrilogy
and THX 1138. Both of these are some other classic George Lucas
works, and if you're wondering how I added them, I'll tell you.
So
if you're a Star Wars fan, you probably have heard of
"Into the Great Unknown." If you haven't, it's a short comic that
appeared in Star Wars Tales #19, and is the first
OFFICIALLY-LICENSED comic/story to show Han Solo and Indiana Jones in the same
universe. Han is fleeing from an Imperial fleet in orbit of the moon Hovan-99
and doesn't calculate jump coordinates, so he, Chewie and the Falcon land
in a galaxy "No longer far away." Han asks Chewie to land the Falcon at
the "blue one" and they crash exactly where the Endor scenes were
filmed for Return. Han and Chewie go looking for any settlements
but are attacked by Native Americans. Han dies, in the Falcon's
cockpit (which is where he orders Chewie to put him), and references Vector
Prime. Yep, the part where Chewie dies. The part that Dark Horse made into
a comic series. RIP Chewie. Except this time it's Han that dies. 126 years
later, Indy and teenager Shorty turn up, and they eventually find the Falcon and
Han's dead body. They were actually looking for the Sasquatch, who is Chewie
(yes, Chewie's still alive), but Indy says that they should just leave him and
the Sasquatch as part of the great unknown.
How
does this add the Indy movies and THX 1138 to my Star
Wars timeline, you may ask? Well, thanks to some info on Wookieepedia,
Haden Blackman said there was no exact date of the story, since it's an
Infinities tale, but he said that the Indy segment takes place 7-8 years
after Temple, and I just chose 7 years, so the Indy segment is
1942, and that means that the Han segment 126 years earlier must be 1816. Han
says to Chewie that he thought it would be Chewie saving his kids (Vector
Prime reference), and Han had his first kids in 9 ABY, so the most
approximate date for the Han segment would be 9 ABY (in Star Wars time),
meaning that the Indy segment would be 135 ABY. From here, I used this method
to add the Indy movies to the timeline, and I thought that why not add THX
1138, pretending that it takes place in the same universe as the Indy
films, because why not? It's Earth in the 25th century, plus it was referenced
in the cancelled George Lucas' Monsters and Aliens trilogy by
Robert J. Sawyer, so I'm just adding it. Note that the date is a weird and
wonky plus-minus something or another. I worked this out knowing that the only
date given for THX 1138 is the 25th century, so I used the
Indy date method to work out when the 25th century would be. Hope you like the
update. Well, that's a wrap on THE SITH ARCHIVES OF DARTH FANDOM!
