Star Wars fans rejoice: Lucasfilm has relaunched its vast project to map the sci-fi saga’s galaxy, and published a hugely-detailed map with more than 500 planets.
Ever wondered how far it is from Tatooine to Hoth? How hidden Yoda really was, poked away in his swamp on Dagobah? Or how far away from the galactic center Jakku really is? Now you can find out.
More of the galaxy’s mysterious Unknown Regions have been mapped — and look, there’s Exegol, the Sith planet from Rise of Skywalker that Rey had to hold an old dagger up to the horizon and infiltrate the old Death Star in order to find. If only she had this map, that film might have made more sense.
Exegol isn’t the map’s farthest planet, however, despite how difficult that film suggested the journey would be to get there (and despite half of the galaxy apparently then being able to turn up anyway). Notably, the Unknown Regions also contain Csilla, homeworld of the secretive blue-skinned Chiss race, whose most famous member is Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Not every Star Wars planet you may have heard of is shown. Key omissions from the map include “extragalactic” locations housed outside the main Star Wars galaxy, such as clone factory planet Kamino, and Peridea, the world visited in Ahsoka after the show moves to an entirely different galaxy altogether.
Lucasfilm has said it will keep the map updated over time with periodic revisions, and will also release more detailed regional maps for high-density areas, such as the Inner Rim, Colonies, Core and Deep Core.
You can check out the full map here, and then there’s a vast list of every planet featured here that’s the best way to track down exactly what you’re looking for.
Next up from the Star Wars universe will be a second season of Ahsoka, and a big screen debut for The Mandalorian & Grogu. Ryan Gosling is also heading to the galaxy far, far away in 2027 movie Star Wars: Starfighter.
