BlindDaThief's WIPs and Timeline


Recommended Posts

Hey all.

Approximately 2 years ago, I started a master Star Wars read/watch/play through of all the (crucial) Star Wars stories whether they be the films (Disney included too ugh...), novels, comics, and video games; all leading up to the release of the Rise of Skywalker. I am not much of a comic guy and I'm not into the silly stuff (Ewok and Droids movies, Holiday Special etc.) or the deep lore (Yuuzhan Vong, Infinite Empire, separate/alternate timelines, small character bios etc). But what I personally consider the important stories, I did all in order, combining "canon" and "legends".

Now more things have come out and I have discovered more material so I'm diving back into it, starting from the beginning. Through this journey, my plan is to create and maintain a continuous and consistent story and, all the while, I plan to add models and maps (either built by me or others) to add to the core JKA game in a timeline-accurate and organized way. This marathon will be much longer than my initial attempt, especially because I'll be continuously adding to JKA throughout the complete saga.

At the time of my initial attempt, a friend of mine, who is also a master Star Wars fan, suggested I publish a blog through the journey, reviewing and discussing each entry but I wasn't too into the idea at the time. Now after being a member of this incredible community for about a year and getting back into modding, mapping, and modeling (after about a 10 year hiatus) I think this is the perfect platform to log my progress and discuss the topics with fellow enthusiasts. 

Through my first attempt I noticed some redundancies and contradictions but it is a largely (and surprisingly) coherent and cohesive narrative for the most part. And obviously some things have alternate histories (such as the "legends" Skywalker and Solo families being replaced with "canon" Kylo Ren, Rey etc.) but "canon" will take precedence here)

(Note: if you think something is out of order or something crucial should be added PLEASE TELL ME) 

Here is my list as it stands right now and it's subject to change:

Hey all,

This topic is NOT dead. I've just been getting distracted by some personal problems and life generally. Then in honor of WandaVision, I decided to watch all the MCU movies and TV shows in chronological order. (As you can all see, I'm a bit on the insane side and looooove my chronological timelines! Haha) thanks for your patience. Ill be back at it soon!

I guess, many people have their own 'timeline of the Galaxy', which helps them watch, understand and love Star Wars. Most of my friends stick to Episodes I-VI or even IV-VI, while EU is a secondary material for them for the most part.

For me most EU Star Wars remain truly canonical, even Holiday Special, cartoons and minor games. That's because – the silly style of them is a pure form of telling us a story. Not the best form and a mediocre story, that's true. Ewok movies on the other hand are mostly for kids, but that doesn't prevent them from being a minor layer of Endor history for example. Star Wars Galaxies used a clever method of introducing characters from these into the main story as subquests. Cindel Towani appears as a journalist on Coruscant in later sources for adults as well.

After 2015 the community became very much divided, as you already know. Some fans ignore Clone Wars project completely, while others enjoy it. I was sceptical about it and Ahsoka Tano in the very beginning, but changed my mind after Seasons 1-2. Currently my personal 'timeline' omits the survival of Darth Maul, and I consider him to be very-very dead in The Phantom Menace. All other appearances after that – are a Dopplegänger for me.

Hello all,

I'm very sorry that I have not gotten started on this for those that are paying attention. BUT! it is part of my resolution for the New Year. My resolutions are to pay off my student loans, date only good people, and get to modding!!!! haha. 

 

I will have a small taste of what I've been working on done soon and it'll be up as soon as it is. I have been spending about an hour a month on this, so its been a slow process so far but I'm gonna crank up the frequency of this hobby. Hang in there! I hope its worth it...

I now realize there will always be something to delay me... But working on a reskin of Kit Fisto that's almost done. I'm new to this stuff though so I'm trying to figure out how to take cool snapshots and be able to release it. I think it looks great. Sounds, teams and bots and all!

I've decided to attempt a skin for Margrave Juro and his steward droid. Maybe a skin for Roden, the Sith wearing white.spacer.png

Good news, JKHub friends! I just had a very life-interrupting surgery.... 😆  normally that would be bad news for every other aspect of my life... but! It means I'll have more time at home... more time for this! Once I'm able to get up and about, I'll be hard at work becoming a better modder! Love you all

Ah man.  I suck. Almost a year ago, I promised to be starting... haven't... I've been doing other things to include shaping up the mods I currently have, making them better and adding sounds and bots etc.  I'll start my Timeline mods soon.  I hope.  Don't give up on me!
