Talk:The Essential Atlas

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!! --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This had better be amazingly detailed. ;p VT-16 09:18, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
 * So we're getting this instead of the (totally conjectural) New Essential Guide to Planets and Moons? Nice.
 * Yeah, one or the other was the idea. This is better because it can still detail planets, but show them on regional sections of the map that are canon. Of course, this title is totally conjectural as well unless Jason Fry said it by name. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:13, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
 * This better have a good map.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 21:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the map was the first thing on their minds. But they need to add about 50 more closeups plus detailed stats on many more planets, moons, stars, black holes, galactic disturbances, other galaxies, etc. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm hoping for a detailed map of Roon. It would also be cool if they snuck in Andowyne on the overall map. Adamwankenobi 03:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Then that would only make their April Fool's joke canonical and that can only go so far. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:35, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I know it would. :D Adamwankenobi 03:37, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Say, there's some locations from What's The Story that would be great to include in this book http://media.ign.com/boardfaces/54.gif --Azizlight 03:42, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Like Bal'demnic Aziz? --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:45, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Bal'what? No idea what you're talking about. And if you were to mention a certain river and a certain village on a certain forest moon, again, you've totally lost me :-) --Azizlight 03:53, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Bright Tree Village. Hah... --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:56, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh man, if there was a good map of Endor in this book... :-D -- Ozzel 03:57, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * (agrees with Ozzel) Adamwankenobi 03:58, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right. There isn't. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:59, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

One thing I'm hoping for with the map is a departure from the idea that the "far half" of the Galaxy (as it appears on all the other maps to date) is mostly the Unknown Regions, on the far side of the Galaxy from Wild Space. I mean, with 25,000 years of hyperspace exploration, they can't still have one third of the galaxy unmapped. ... Unless, of course, there's some weird hyperspace disruption effect that's keeping the "far side" of the Galaxy unexplored. - 206.74.236.80 07:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * As much as it completley sucks, I think they'll perpetuate that stupid idea. It's pretty much canon, regardless of how retarded it is. :( Melda 09:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Nothing wrong with a hyperspace disturbance at the edge of the Galaxy. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Lemme put in another cheer for the idea of this book. ;P I'd love if they would actually stick every planet mentioned in the books on one giant map... Planets like Serenno, Melida/Daan, etc etc that have had tons mentioned about them, but barely have a general location, let alone pictures or maps. - Indy Gold 04:15, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * They may be better off giving us a 9200x9200 wallpaper for something like that. And I'm sure people would still be complaining about missing planets.... DAWUSS 00:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be sweet, and Adam is right, I am happy that it will be the source to replace the NEGPM, so it better have it all. And if they don't mean to put planetary information down as I'd have hoped, people can still access us for the details, but I hope they do more closeups. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:58, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I am hoping for a big poster that has all the planets in the Star Wars galaxy, that I could hang up in my room.


 * I am terrified. Utterly terrified. - Graestan 01:05, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Only getting better!! More placements! --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:17, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Salutations
when i saw this i totally freaked...OHHHHH YEAAAAAAHHHHHH BABY!and please nobody complain if they miss ONE (or two) planets...this book seems to be the best thing to ever happen since the essential chronology --User:Yow66

July???
Nooooooooooooooo!!! How much longer for this to release? --  Riffsyphon  1024 10:57, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Move
Should the article be moved to STAR WARS: THE ESSENTIAL ATLAS? It's what Dan Wallace called it on his blog. Oyam5000 02:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I just looked it up on Amazon.com and it's called Star Wars: The Essential Atlas. The ISBN number is 0345477642. -- Reignfire (Holotranceiver) 03:01, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's at the correct name now. --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:45, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Atrivis sector
Is it time to put merge tags on Atravis sector and Atrivis sector? On the one hand, it's not technically canon if it's not published yet; on the other hand, AFAIK listing them separately is kind of a speculative inference too, as we didn't make separate articles for Myrkr and Myrkyr.

I don't know what the actual Wookieepedia policy on unpublished material is, but Sissk is one article that treats an unpublished statement as canon. --Andrew Nagy 18:03, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say no. As I pointed out in the tfn thread, the Star Wars Encyclopedia has separate entries for the two places, which are placed immediately next to each other. Therefore, it's not treated as just a spelling mistake in that canonical source. The Atlas has a long way to go before being published. --Eyrezer 21:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Plus, the latest from tfn is that "We'll look at Atrivis and Atravis again. Sometimes the deciding factor is whether something has been perpetuated, fleshed out, etc. " --Eyrezer 21:29, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yoda's Stories
Jason has said that the planets from Yoda Stories may be added. Should it be included in the article (considering its a game with questionable canon) or does this article have enough stuff as it is? Zakor1138 02:48, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
