Reply to comment by Likeitisouthere in [oc] Did I organize Star Wars entire timeline in correct order? Keep in mind technically a viewer can only watch one Film/Show at a time (games excluded) by Likeitisouthere

Are you talking about Solo the character or Solo the movie because those are two different things.

Solo the character spans from mid episode 3 to basically episode 7 (and 9 if you count ghosts I guess) but the movie is a small segment after 3 and before 4.

Obi Wan storywise takes place only post episode 3 pre episode 4 although there are flashbacks to moments between episode 2 and 3 (the training scene).

There is no Obi Wan youth movie but there are youth books covering his time period from trainee just becoming Qui Gon’s apprentice to episode 1 although this might be considered legends now. Also, going into that territory is another can of worms since there are alot of Star Wars books (there is also one covering Anakin’s early years between episode 1 and 2 for example).

Solo as character his influence/appearance is in the films/shows. Not just the movie.

In this chart, it’s how the character appears in the film/shows and 9 times out of 10, more than likely alive for the most part, there’s like 5-10 minutes of them or longer in the film/show.

Also with Star Wars there’s no information even in movies on the characters. The character was born on this day and died on this day lived this long. There’s no timestamps, which is cool but also confusing as to organizing the content

I built this in a situation, where as if someone is sitting down l, they bought all the Star Wars films/tv shows. They wanted to watch the galaxy in order or where to put the characters, make the most sense of everything… how does the one person need to watch it or connect everything together roughly where they watched it one way or the other.

Had the thought with me that, one could watch Star Wars depending on how they’re feeling/interested in probably 100 different ways.

You seem confused about whether you’re graphing specific films/shows etc or specific characters. Why would “Solo” represent Han Solo’s lifespan in this chart when essentially every other entry is a specific movie/show/book? The logic of your chart is not internally consistent.

In the chart there’s no books/games, it’s just film/shows. Its built out for just a person sitting down and saying show me the force, I’ll spend 100 or 200 hours watching the Star Wars and roughly trying understand/uncover the force, characters in time frames and understanding whatever George Lucas is trying to show everyone/viewers respectively.

Figured out 4/5ths of way through it’s actually difficult to have replications of born January 1st lived 100hrs es died January 1st. Or how a company lasted 50 years or been around for 200 years established this day and still producing. I was born on this month day and time, my social security is this and that.

I totally understand/get what everyone’s saying. If I had the time to sit down with George Lucas and get a confirmation on everything it would be detailed as such haha.

Also would like to read all the books and play the games but we only know so much. With all that said 80% way through, finished post published. Didn’t get paid for it, someone can perhaps take it from here and perfect it.

But agree with what everyone’s saying.. one can easily get confused with few things or there’s gaps between periods in content and people crossing paths in the films, hard to master/know everything haha.

That’s why I posted hopefully someone get inspired and makes a way better versions that’s 100% pinpointed and spot on accurate.

Then the graph is confusing because the labelled arnt the same with no markers to distinguish differences.

You put in movies which makes the graph appear to be a chronology based on movies and tv shows. You then randomly add in Han Solo only, also using just Solo which there is a movie which gives the reader the assumption that you are tracking where the movie falls in the chronology rather than the character. Its not internally consistent.

Better to keep them separate graphs or at least have distinct markings to differentiate between characters and movies/shows and also include other characters. We know Luke and Leia were born at the end of episode 3 and both live to the end of episode 8 for example. Vader and Obi Wan are born some time before episode 1 and Obi Wan lives until one third of episode 4 and Vader until end of episode 6. Palps is pre-episode 1 to episode 6 with his clone then born and then dies at the end of episode 9.
