Hello there!
We've come to the era of mapmaking where I absolutely must share all of the Star Wars maps I've made -- of the Star Wars Galaxy, the Millennium Falcon, and the Razor Crest.
Do. Or do not. There is no try.
Honestly, making spaceship schematics is quite fun. They're really intricate, and part of me is tempted to make them into a colouring book or a puzzle!
My cartography focus is mainly on Fantasy maps, but today I wanted to share my sci-fi side with my Star Wars wall art series.
It's a trap!
Shush, Admiral Ackbar, nobody asked you.
Right, so the first one is the big one, and it begins with the multitude of planets in the empire.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Look close. Okay, now look closer. No, seriously, look REALLY close. Got it? Yeah, each of those little circles is a planet in the Star Wars galaxy.
Some are labelled. A good heck of a lot of them are labelled, actually. I always recommend people print this one BIG so you can read them all.
Star Wars Galaxy Map
Perhaps I'll go for a nice sunny stroll on Tatooine with my pals, R2D2 and C3P0...
I have this map in 3 different colours and I'm curious what you think about which background colour best suits the design.
Which background colour do you prefer?
- White
- Brown
- Navy Blue
I find your lack of faith disturbing
I enjoyed making the Millennium Falcon ship schematics/blueprints. It brought me this much closer to Han Solo, Chewbacca, Princess Leia -- okay and fine, Luke Skywalker, you can come too.
Millennium Falcon
I made two versions of this map because I couldn't decide whether I liked it horizontal or vertical better. What do you think?
Which Millennium Falcon map do you prefer?
Vertical
Horizontal
These are the droids you’re looking for
This map came quite a bit later, when I fell in love with the Mandalorian series. Anyone else get D&D/TTRPG vibes from that show? And yes, I will continue to call him Baby Yoda instead of Grogu, because that's what was first ingrained in my memory. My sincerest apologies (not really).
Razor Crest
Presenting the Mandalorian's beloved Razor Crest ship schematics!
Help me, Customer. You’re my only hope.
Well, that's all I have for you this time around, folks! I'd like to know if you have any other suggestions for Star Wars maps (the Death Star with Darth Vader, perhaps?) I love stepping out of Fantasy from time to time to try my hand at Sci-Fi Fantasy.
(By the way, I create custom maps!)

Lastly, if you drink your coffee/tea black, the dark side is for you (welcome)...
It's over, Friend. I have the high ground!
Look here, you scruffy-looking nerf-herders, thanks for your attention. I look forward to chatting with you when we're outta warp speed.
Aaaand just because I can, (I know you thought I'd say "may the force be with you") I'll instead end on this quote...
I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.
