* W.o.t.C. S.W. R.P.G. Revised Core Rulebook has them in a table on page 206:
For example: Traveltime from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim takes about 96 hours (Base Travel Time in Hours) when using a class 1 hyperdrive. A ship with a class 2 hyperdrive does the same in double the time. And when the destination world in the Outer Rim is in the same quadrant as the Core Worlds, travel time is halved... This system is what "binds the galaxy together" for me and I used it to put some more realism into my timeline (look for it in my profile if you're interested as all of the others have already passed in the posts before)...*
This system is great Eddie, but I've heard of others a lot closer to the films, with hours instead of days... Which is correct?  |

Tasty,
Has the year of Jysella Horn's birth been locked down yet? All the sources I can find state she was born in between Vision of the Future and Vector Prime. I thought I read somewhere that it was either 16ABY or 19ABY, but was just looking for confirmation (plus, it would be handy to know her exact age for the beginning of Legacy ).:D

I can't find the link but I'm sure we've been told it starts 5 years after TUF, meaning 34 ABY
Ok, then the characters' ages should look something like this:
Luke: 53
Leia: 53
Han: 63
Jacen: 25
Jaina: 25
Ben: 7

But what are the established E.U. Hyperspace travel times? Sure, they're longer than what appears in the movies, but how much?
WotC SW RPG Revised Core Rulebook has them in a table on page 206:
for example: traveltime from the Core Worlds to the Outer Rim takes about 96 hours (Base Travel Time in Hours) when using a class 1 hyperdrive. A ship with a class 2 hyperdrive does the same in double the time. And when the destination world in the Outer Rim is in the same quadrant as the Core Worlds, travel time is halved...

I can't find the link but I'm sure we've been told it starts 5 years after TUF, meaning 34 ABY, and then the books themselves have the following timeline:
Joiner King spans about 2 to 3 months in time, then a year passes and Unseen Queen starts up, spanning about another 2 to 3 months. Then only a couple weeks pass before Swarm War begins, and it lasts close to 6 months.

That too. As you can see, there are many different choices. All of them are good.

There's quite a few such timelines on the net, the official one being Del Rey's
For a more extensive list of titles, see .
For a complete summary of the entire known history of the Star Wars universe, see the Star Wars Timeline Gold.
Hope that helps. |

Where can I find a good timeline of the Books written and where they fit in the Star Wars timeline?

Plus new problems might not arise as much now that the movies are all finished.

^ Come on... EVERYTHING can be fixed... It's not such a big problem... Mustafar is on a Hyperspace route, the Emperor of the Galaxy can afford the best Hyperdrive, he strangled one of his pilots Vader-style so the other one got to Mustafar in no-time, and there you go, Palpy went to Mustafar in two hours or so, no problem. We can do the same to any error. And after all, Tasty is here!  No need for Licensing to do ANYTHING. 
But what are the established E.U. Hyperspace travel times? Sure, they're longer than what appears in the movies, but how much? |

If Licensing is going to decide, based on film evidence, that it's been overestimating travel times, and stop looking for explanations/excuses for why so many movie trips seem much faster, the sooner it does it the less trouble will be caused.

Yeha, Mustafar has to be very close, as Palpatine seems to get there within a few hours (which even then seems to be a stretch as it seems like Anakin hasn't been there that long).

Well, the EU books also say that travel times are vastly different whether travelling between worlds on major hyperspace lanes, or between worlds far from the major lanes.
If this is correct, given the travel times of RotS, I think it's pretty safe to say Mastafar is right on a major route, that allows going to and from Coruscant within a few hours.
