Clone Wars: A Visual Timeline news

Using the Star Wars: New Essential Guide to Chronology for accurate dating and Wookieepedia for event synopsis of sources that I do not own or have not read, I have compiled a bunch of images from various sources and I've arranged them in chronological order to paint a picture of what happened in the 3 years between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. These images ar accompanied by dates and a brief synophsis of each event stating why the battle was fought, who won the battle, and what happened as a result of that battle. All rights to the images and stories go to their respected authors. This timeline is by no means complete, there are dozens of other book sources that did not make it into this timeline because they did not have illustrations (either official or fan made) to depict those events. Enjoy

A Message from the Compiler:

I hope those of you who had taken the time to look at this Timeline enjoyed it and I hope it has painted a picture of what happened in between Episodes II and III of the Star Wars saga. You have just witnessed the Comics, Novels, Clone Wars Mini-Series, Databank Entries, and Video Games of the Clone Wars Multi-Media Project working in harmony to create a symphony of good story telling.

If you gain anything from this experience, I hope that its this: Not one comic book, not one TV series, not one novel and not one video game alone can tell the tale of the Clone War, but rather all of theses sources working in harmony, together, to tell a story. They don't try to over write each other, they don't try to contradict each other, they work together (at least they try to, there are some minor discrepancies between 1 or 2 sources but nothing major) and that's what the Clone Wars Multi-Media Project is about; working with one another to tell a story leading up to Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Thanks for Reading, Delta289
