Star Wars Insider also used the design in issue #65 of February 2003 and highlighted the worlds of Star Wars Galaxies. The Outer Rim was fleshed out more in issue #56, and the penultimate issue #139 included a map of the Clone Wars (as seen in the 2D cartoon, comics, and novels at that time). The Fact Files would continue to use this map in various issues, detailing sections and expanding with new planets. The first issue in December 2001 came with a huge poster that had a galactic timeline on one side, and a galaxy map on the other (03). The success of the concept in Gamer was apparent, as it was largely adopted into the first run of The Official Star Wars Fact Files, a notable difference however was the use of a backdrop that resembled an actual galaxy rather than mere contour lines of the galactic regions. A map packed with Star Wars Gamer #5 added more detail and little planet icons for each world.

Other publications, however, would not stick to the concentric circles, but elaborate on the idea introduced in Vector Prime.

Future publications in this series of books would continue to use the circular galaxy, including Complete Locations. With the release of Inside the Worlds of Episode I in October 2000, the galactic map fell back into the concentric circles shown in Behind the Magic, now including the new worlds from the novelization of Episode I, as well as all planets mentioned in the book itself. Each novel included the same basic map, which mapped planets from the existing lore as well as newly visited worlds of the New Jedi Order stories, and also visualized the Yuuzhan Vong invasion corridor. The maps in these books showed an isometric projection of the galaxy, and included the spiral arms and empty galactic west known as the Unknown Regions (02). This whole new chapter in the now-Legends timeline came complete with its own map in each novel.

One year later, in October 1999, Del Rey began their nineteen-novel course of the New Jedi Order series with Vector Prime. It even included a placement for Naboo, which would feature in the then-upcoming new movie, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. The map provided a top-down view of the Star Wars galaxy, with concentric rings indicating the various regions from Deep Core to Outer Rim.

In this digital encyclopedia, that was spread over two compact discs and included information on almost every conceivable topic, a galactic map was included that placed the most important planets from the movies and Expanded Universe (01).

The first official full galaxy map was published in 1998, with the release of Behind the Magic. Players were introduced to areas like the Elrood sector in Planets of the Galaxy, Volume 3, the Brak sector in Flashpoint! Brak Sector, the Kathol sector in The DarkStryder Campaign and the Tapani Sector and Rimma Trade Route in Lords of the Expanse. West End Games provided several such detailed maps of specific regions or sectors within the galaxy, for use in role-playing adventures and campaigns. Unfortunately, a full galaxy map was to be a future dream for about two decades, and early cartography enthusiasts had to do with partial maps only in official publications. While early novels didnвЂ™t include a lot of new places, the rise of West End GamesвЂ™ role-playing works brought about a lot of new worlds, trade routes, and even galactic regions. вЂќWithout precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova.вЂќ - Han SoloД®ver since the release of the Star Wars movies, and especially with the start of the former Expanded Universe, people were longing for a map of that galaxy far, far away.
