User:Silly Dan/Adaptations

There are a million billion quadrillion stories in the naked galaxy, but a few of them are told over and over again. Just for interest's sake, here's a partial list of all Star Wars sources which are different adaptations of the same story. Most of them are adaptations of the films, but a few EU sources are lucky enough to appear in more than one format -- usually causing entertaining continuity glitches, hooray!

Perhaps you're writing an article on a subject which appears in one of the films, and you want to make sure you don't miss a source. Perhaps you're trying to find out which film adaptations contain a particular cut scene. Or maybe you're just curious. Anyway, hopefully you find this list of interest.

For books, reprints and omnibus republications do not appear on this list. Neither do re-releases, re-edits, or different home video releases of the films. Please see the individual articles for information.

Note that some adaptations of this story overlap with ESB and ROTJ. For instance, the novel goes from Xizor listening to Vader and the Emperor's videoconference (ESB) to Luke building his new lightsaber (ROTJ, cut scene appearing in several adaptations), and the video game has a Battle of Hoth level.
