This was all inspired by theprequelsrule’s Wars, organizations, relationships, and galactic history before the Prequels thread.

As well as some other recent OT threads and discussions on the subject of pre-Prequel era lore. I hope anyone interested will post up any material or content for that pre-PT era, and also any memories or current thoughts on the subject in here, too.

Tales Of The Jedi | 1993-1998 comic series | a general discussion thread + Veitch & Zahn’s other early worldbuilding projects.

Suggested Sources: The Original Trilogy films, draft scripts, TSWHS, 2 Ewok films, Droids cartoon, the books: 1976-83 (inc OT film novelisations), the later EU; novels, comics and games (notably the Thrawn Trilogy), WEG sourcebooks, guidebooks, Art Of books, toys & descriptions, Making Magic & BTM CD-Roms, collecting cards, radio plays, and any other official GFFA content.

^ Sources can also likely be found in magazines that had articles, interviews, and stories featuring material on the pre-Prequel era. Publications such as Starlog, Star Wars Insider, CinemaScape, Hyperspace, the official Fan Clubs and newsletters. Even the early years of the official Star Wars website and blog when such pre-PT lore & history was openly discussed and acknowledged.

It is worth acknowledging that this pre-Prequel era of lore also had some contradictions and flaws in its own history and timelines. Yet that for some of us, this was more interesting to see how George and Lucasfilm would attempt to reconcile any issues in other future material and films, or which timeline or content would ‘win out’.

Or us fans choosing our own personal preference, or certain point of view, which appealed to our imagination or head canon.

Thanks to theprequelsrule, DarthStarkiller1234, Vladius, Superweapon VII, Caston, BedeHistory731, fmalover, Spartacus01, darklordoftech, NFBisms, Emre16O1, JadedSkywalker, Channel72, Sevb32, Pagan Editor, RogueLeader, screamsinthevoid and others for their recent posts and threads on the pre-PT era & EU that inspired me to attempt this scrapbook resource thread.

Thanks also to oojason for suggesting ideas on possible layouts & formatting of this ‘info thread’, the linked video of ‘Obi Wan Kenobi explains the Force to Luke’, for sources & content, fixing errors, + writing most of the ‘Intro’ & ‘Canon’ sections for me.

I hope others will also post up any “pre-PT era” material they know of, and continue to add to this ‘living scrapbook’ resource.

And if not, hopefully this will simply be of interest for others, or may be of some use in a future “pre-PT era” scrapbook project.
