Infographic Lays Out Canonical ‘Star Wars’ Timeline With Films, TV And Books

Via Indiewire.com:

The “Star Wars” universe is getting bigger, and if you’re not on your toes, even more confusing. Between now and the release of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” there’s a staggering twenty books of all shapes and sizes, for all ages, coming to fill in the story gap from “Star Wars: Episode VI — Return Of The Jedi” and the new sequel. But that’s not all. There are TV shows too offering more tangents to the main narrative, so it’s understandable if you’re not sure where everything stands. But hopefully this little infographic will help.

The eagle eyes at Star Wars Bibliothek (via Film Divider) noticed that in the Amazon preview for the upcoming book “A New Dawn” (which is set between Episodes III and IV, FYI), there’s handy timeline of where the upcoming novels, TV shows (“The Clone Wars” and “Rebels”) and videogames (“Battlefront”) fit in the canonical “Star Wars” timeline.

It’s a nice look at just how extensively the folks at Lucasfilm and Disney are going to officially lay down even more story groundwork, and while I’m not going to go that far into my fandom, for those willing to hop down the rabbit hole, it’s probably a lot of fun. So check out the timeline below, and to help you out a bit more, we’ve include the book synopses for all the upcoming novels mentioned.
