How is this bogus? If some sources say that the galaxy is 120,000 lightyears across and that it's called the Voydarian Beltway, why shouldn't it be in here? Kuralyov 9 July 2005 14:03 (UTC)
I think it should be removed. It's a cool name though, but sadly I think the "Voydarian Beltway Galaxy" is just one of those things made up by Supershadow - the infamous disinformation blogger who claims he has inside info on Star Wars and is a personal friend of George Lucas. Everyone who has investigated this guy has uncovered that he's a liar with nothing to do with Lucasfilm. He even goes so far as claim that he gave Lucas most of his ideas. Why Lucasfilm hasn't sued this guy and forced him to take his BS website down is beyond me.
However... I can't say for sure that he is the source because the name also appears on several other fan websites including one for Star Wars Galaxies the video game. I have heard the name before reading Supershadow's site, so where it actually comes from I can't say. None of these sites are official though, and the name could have just leaked in from Supershadow because many fans still think he's a legit source of Star Wars info.
If someone wants to take the time and look it up, I think it should be confirmed. Until then, it's just fan fiction and not an official name. Cyberia23 23:28, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

That's another supershadow/jedipurge's misinformation. If noone can quote an official source that confirms it (and I bet noone can), this shall be deleted. I don't see a point in leaving a misinforming text just because someone is not sure whether it is a lie or not... NLoriel 20:42, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
I think Andromeda is the star wars galaxy .
hi, i don't really know what to call the galaxy. My grievance is in the distance. We know that the Milky Way is about 100 light years in length and is one of the largest spiral galaxies that we've been able to see. We also know that by every law of physics that is standard in the universe, the speed of light cannot be eclipsed. Now, we all love the science fiction idea that the Falcon can zip around from system to system, but shouldn't we perhaps suggest that the Star Wars Galaxy be redefined as a very small spiral galaxy. This way, the relatively sort times that it takes for Star Wars distances to be bridged can be halfway explained away by the idea that this particular galaxy is quiet small. Clearly it shouldn't be 120 lightyears and I think that it should be considerably smaller than our own, perhaps as small as 50 light years. This way, it would at least be somewhat plausable. Of course this is assuming that we wish to give Star Wars Astronomy some realism. Realize that at 300,000 km a second, (the speed of light), a Star Wars Galaxy, at a meeger 50 light years; it would take somewhere around 40 to 50 years to go from Yavin to Hoth. Therefore, assuming that hyperspace technology somehow bends the laws of physics, and allows vessels to travel up to 100 times the speed of light, something like 3 X 10to the 5th power multiplied by 100, so something like 30,000,000 km per sec., it would still take like 5 or 6 months to get for Yavin to Hoth, still not bad, but not what we want. So, i think we can see that the number of 120 light years is far to large, even for a science fiction dynasty . Yet maybe it would be better if we leave these things out of our Star Wars psyche.
You absolutely right, i forgot some zeros there didn't I? Thanks for calling me on it. Therefore, 120 light is a very small galaxy. Yet, we think that we have found a Galaxy close to the Milky Way that's about 75 light years in size. I'd love to make believe that that's the Star Wars Galaxy.
This seems very unlikely, as to be Type III one has to either have
If someone could show me the error in my thinking, or at least point out some notable source for such an assertion (which should then be put in that context, not stated as being true), I'd be most grateful. Alai 06:12, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
The Star Forge in Knights of the Old Republic was able to take pure energy from stars and convert it into matter, such as creating armies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.26.240.121 ( talk) 04:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Can someone verify the "official" number of planets that contain sentient life? 1/1000th of 10% of 400 billion is 40 million, not 20 million. One of the numbers is wrong. -- Shinyplasticbag 05:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
I think it would be nice if someone well versed in Star Wars knowledge added a little bit to the end of the 2nd paragraph with something to the effect of "but of those 20,000,000 stars, only 1/(here's where I'm not sure: maybe at least 2,000 to a max of 15,000?) held at least 1 planet that at some point developed 1 or more self-aware, or otherwise reasoning/self-aware species." That would be great little piece of info for insight and perspective to Star War's grand scheme of things.
According to the map, it seems to be a barred spiral galaxy, so it can't be Sb. - Sikon 13:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I liked there being a map of the star wars galaxy. But it looked like it only showed a time peroid after Star Wars Original trilogy.
Are there any maps showing what the star wars galaxy looked like during the clone wars and the time during the empire? It would be nice to show what the star wars galaxy looked like during the movies.-- Scott3 01:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

User:A Nobody "merged" (read:copy-and-pasted) AfDed material about the Hapan Consortium to this article, complete with a "sources" section smack in the middle of the article. The content retains plot summary, trivia, uncited generalizations/OR and general cruft from its original Wookieepedia article. I've reverted the copy-and-paste -- was going to paste it all here, but the edit history is instead visible here. Those of us who actively edit in the Star Wars wikiproject, please take a look and take a gander to see whether anything is worth merging. My own opinion is, nothing needs to come over: the paragraph/blurb currently here is appropriately weighted in comparison to other sections (both of the article, and of the Star Wars galaxy), especially in comparison to regions of the SWG that play a more significant role throughout the EU. -- EEMIV ( talk) 04:43, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
For example, the Deep Core, it says "It has countless stars packed together in a relatively small area", does it mean Byss and Khomm (look at the deep core's bottom angle) are located on different solar systems? Otherwise this map doesn't make any sense. 95.59.83.67 ( talk) 02:52, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
