You might think you know everything there is to know about Star Wars. Think again.

Thanks to the franchise's official website, we can now feast our eyes on an impossibly detailed galaxy map – one that covers hundreds of planets and even has a 59-page reference sheet for good measure.

Originally part of 2009's Star Wars: The Essential Atlas, the official Galaxy Map has been updated to include pretty much every planet and locale you can think of, including classics such as Tatooine, more obscure hangouts like Gravlex Med, and even planets that could drag Legends adventures into canon – with Knights of the Old Republic's Rakata Prime making an appearance.

Even better, there's actually one notable exclusion from the list. Don't worry, we won't make you count each planet. The missing world is Kamino which, as has been pointed out on social media, could be a perfect prequels joke.

You may remember, of course, that Kamino was wiped from the Jedi Archives by a scheming Count Dooku. According to the map, it no longer exists though, intriguingly, Skeleton Crew's 'missing' planet At Attin does make the cut.

If you've now fallen down the Star Wars rabbit hole, we'd recommend a glance at our complete Star Wars timeline. Then, dive into our guide on how to watch the Clone Wars in order.

On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
