Check Out This Star Wars Galactic Map, and How It Clears Up Confusion About a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Have you ever wondered about the distance between Tatooine and Naboo without all those hyperspace jumps conveniently speeding up space travel? Or where Coruscant is in relation to Alderaan? How about Obi-Wan Kenobi's accumulated mileage during the Clone Wars? The good news is that the force is with you: All of your geographical-based questions can be answered by the new Star Wars Galactic Map.
The map divvies up the Star Wars galaxy into important regions. Movie fans might be familiar with the core worlds (where Coruscant is) and the outer rim (where you can find Tatooine), but the deep core, colony worlds, inner rim, expansion region and unknown regions are also included from almost all of the Star Wars movies and shows (which you can stream now on Disney Plus).
You can also see who controls what parts of the galaxy, as Bothan- and Hutt-controlled planetary belts are clearly marked on the maps. It's nice to know these things, so you can avoid ending up in one of those wretched hives of scum and villainy.
While this galactic map existed prior to its current iteration, a blog post by writer Jason Fry mentions that it was taken down for a massive overhaul.
"The plan is to keep updating this page with periodic revisions to the map and appendix," the post reads. "I also hope to unveil redesigned regional maps with sector borders and continue the sector mapping project with the Inner Rim, Colonies, Core and Deep Core."
The current iteration of the galactic map is caught up with the sequels, featuring the Jedi planet Ahch-To and Sith planet Exegol in the unknown regions of space. It also includes many of the new information from more recent Disney Plus Star Wars shows, including Andor and The Bad Batch.
As it continues to be updated, it'll hopefully also add worlds to come in upcoming Star Wars movies and series like The Mandalorian & Grogu (coming in 2026) and Star Wars: Starfighter (coming in 2027).
The blog post also includes an alphabetized list of planets that are shown on the map, which might make it easier to find what you're looking for. There are more than 1,000 celestial bodies to keep an eye on, so it might take you a minute to pick out a given planet if you aren't sure which sector it's located in.
This resource was created as a companion piece for the Star Wars Timelines book, which contains other key information about the Star Wars universe, including chronological charts for the most important events, characters and storylines in the galaxy.
