Star Wars: An Interactive Galactic Experience

In a galaxy far, far away

Since I'm both a fan of maps and Star Wars, I was excited when I found this site. An interactive galactic map that allows you to experience a certain 'galaxy  far, far away', planet by planet. Now why wasn't this around back when I was playing Traveler.

Star Wars Posters

Everybody is familiar with  the iconic Star Wars poster - x-wings, light sabres, the Death Star, Luke, Princess Leia, and Darth looming in the background. Below are some movie posters not everyone has seen.
