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: Star Wars Timeline -----------Formation of

It has failed on every level and is just plain bad. Many items entered into the Star Wars universe are bad, but this deserves special (dis)credit as it is a major project published as "canon". I refuse this project in all that it is. Tell me what you think! And stay tuned for modded content for JKA that I will share as I go.

After 4 years, is the fight over? Any progress?

Any progress?

I hope he's still alive...

Man. You reeeeally like the predator haha. Thanks for all the hard work!

I'm so stoked for this contest. I didn't think anybody cared about maps anymore!

Or just (force) jumpable? I think you already won the contest hahaha

Brilliant!

Looking good!

I wish I had all the time in the world! But it is a deadline of February. Maybe I can relearn mapping in time! At the worst, I'll try for a good map. At best, I'll try for a mappack! I love to see so many people still interested in this community!! Great work so far!

Haha fair enough!

Yep. That's what he looks like when you hit all his armor off and he becomes more agile and has that thin sword. Seems like he's got a proper look for JKA. I'm just now starting to learn blender otherwise id try it. Still a newb as the kids say haha

Well you notified the right guy! And not trying to sound greedy.. But a light armor darknut would be dope too! You should consider it. Thanks again for the hard work!

I'm not entirely sure why I'm mentioned on this thread.... but i appreciate it!! GREAT Darknut! awesome! <<<<Is it the picture? hahaha

Oh my dear Lord! I wasn't going to ask but I desperately wanted both of these!!! YES!!! Thank you so much! feels like my birthday! haha I wish there was a "love" button instead of a like! you just made my life. So excited! I cannot handle it!

Umm or just share the link here! I wouldn't mind having those!

Yeahhhh but it just seems to be Obi-wan's torso with Kylo Ren's face... Not to knock his work but looking for something a bit more distinguishable...

Speaking of SP support (and Jacen Solo), I've always wanted a Jedi Padawan version of Ben Solo with SP support so I can make Jedi Academy fit better into the Star Wars timeline and make it a Force Awakens prequel. Anybody else think that's a good idea? I'm not up on the skill just yet.

Is that cutscene Katarn??

There are no good 4loms out there! Good job!

^^^that's what I'm saying

I thought we didn't like to suggest things to Jeff. Or maybe I'm thinking of another topic. I could suggest things all day! I've got piles of less obscure characters that haven't seen the light of day ever on JA that would help in completing my collection!

Darth Krayt has got to be the worst Darth name.. That or Darth Talon.
