  1. Ngl this is pretty but barely readable. The bar graphs growing from the center for ratings is super confusing.

  2. I like how you’ve made this into a giant colon. Quite fitting for how Disney is going about digesting the Star Wars franchise.

  3. If you really want to understand Star Wars you have to watch a children’s cartoon from a decade ago.

  4. We know some media overlaps, but I think it’s a really well-made, simple, and readable timeline of the franchise.

  5. Great graph, now I know Star Wars history ends for me about “Skeleton Crew”

  6. No mention of the games? I’d like to see knights of the old republic in there somewhere

  7. What’s with the jar jar binks zone? It just continues throughout the entire graph

  8. How could you forget the Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor and Star Wars: Ewoks (2 seasons) ???

  9. Beautiful work! This must have taken a considerable amount of work first to assemble the data and then to make the timeline. You know it is a great visualization when you find yourself extensively exploring the data.

    This is a refreshing departure from the sankey diagrams, bar charts and colored maps (chloropleths) that we usually get here.

  10. It appears that the only consistently bad show is The Acolyte. Particularly, I didn’t care for Ahsoka and Book of Boba Fett

  11. What do they mean Episode VII, VIII and IX? There are no such things.

  12. I wish the Acolyte didn’t fall flat, I really wanted some good live action stuff from that period

  13. I need someone to actually put this together in a box set so I can watch the whole thing in chronological order. It’s a hard visual to follow easily, but a fucking cool idea.

  14. Where does the Christmas Special fit into all of this?

  15. This is so sick! Though it’s missing the original 2D clone wars mini-series. It’d be fun to see how it would be spread out in the chronology

  16. Those of you who haven’t seen Andor yet should consider watching it.

    I found it to be the best show by far, and better than most of the movies,

  17. Say what you will about the rest of the Star Wars IP, but the last 4 episodes of Clone Wars should be *the* standard about how to write a show constrained by a canonical timeline and set of events.
