Forum:SH Archive/Official Star Wars Fact File Remake

So, There are small differences between 2013's run and 2014's run. If you're looking at v3 using the website preview, you're not going to notice any difference, because they just re-used the old preview. The 3rd Run has, and I quote from someone with physical copies of both: "New coding system for Battles & Events. New page design for weapons and technology. And various images and layout changes throughout." It doesn't appear that the text content or image assets have actually changed (I'll look closer), but I can confirm the pages are arranged differently, and some of the chapters have traded order. (In 2013 v1, It's Darth Maul then Jawas; In 2014, The Jawa chapter is before Darth Maul.) There is also a significant change to the Fact File coding. The first article, Battle of Yavin, is listed as YAV 1-4 in 2013, and as 0 BBY 45-48 in 2014. which is an entirely new coding system. Other articles are shuffled around their individual coding systems. R2D2 changes from ART 5-8 to ART 1-4; Maul changes from MAU 5-8 to MAU 1-4; Darth Vaders Lightsaber changes from LIG 9-12 to LIG 27-30. And that's just Volume 1. Therefore I propose the 2013 and 2014 versions be split. 2013 could be moved to The Official Star Wars Fact File (2nd run) and another page be created for (3rd run). Or use of the initial publishing year could be used instead of "2nd" or "3rd run," but, as I suspect the 2014 version might extend past 2014, that may lead to confusion down the road.
