Explore a Map of the Entire Star Wars Galaxy

In 2009, the book Star Wars, the Essential Atlas was released. It was full of maps, but the galaxy far, far away was much bigger than anything that could be printed in a book. Eventually, a map of the entire galaxy was posted as an online supplement to the atlas. The internet allows us to zoom in on the galaxy map containing hundreds of planets so that we can actually read their names. You have to wonder how many nights Lucas stayed up late thinking of planet names, but he probably had plenty of help from associates and hardcore fans. 

I found Exegol first, then eventually Alderaan, Coruscant, Kashyyyk, and Jakku, but I had to refer to the index to find Tatootine. I also found a planet named Klatooine. Each square on the grid is supposed to represent 5,000 light years, which is mind-blowing when you think of all the characters who traveled from planet to planet in the same vehicles they used to travel between locations on a planet. Still not nearly as mind-blowing as twins separated at birth running into each other far, far away from their home planets. -via Nag on the Lake 


This was a fun rabbit hole. Found Tatooine fairly quick just starting a slow search around the Outer Rim. Don't forget Dantooine. It is much too far out to make an example. . . Was surprised to see Tatooine right on top of Geonosis. Naboo doesn't seem all that important with regard to trade routes and I tried but failed to find some detail around the Kessel Run.
