I'm not sure what that has to do with the current state of the map and my complaints with Pablo Hildalgo

Because that map is taken from a publication that was released before print was canon. Even the novels of the film were classed that they were considered canon unless the Films in some way contradicted them, then the Films were considered to be correct. So the map is firstly not canon, the one I showed however is as it was released at a time when the print material was considered canon.

The print material released before Disney including this map wasn't considered canon by Lucas so essentially they could ignore it where The Clone Wars was concerned, even if they were released at a similar time. Also at that time I believe that Pablo wasn't "keeper" at that time I believe it's was Leeland, although I could be wrong there, so of Pablo produced something that was wrong this would fall back on Leeland.

Yup.

To be honest the whole debacle over what was and wasn't canon (map or not) should have been straight I'm the first place, but that aside when you had the storylines that change as much as they did from the prequels to the original trilogy (so much so it made Yoda /Kenobi and R2D2 look like sadists for withholding as much info as they knew from Luke) never mind the messed up family relationships, having a couple of planets lost or misplaced is small potatoes in comparison. When watched in order the stories lose a lot of credibility. If the originals were released this decade even with better effects, I'd imagine they would have been torn to pieces even more than the new trilogy.

That isn't to say they were not ground breaking at the time but continuity in Star Wars has always been atrocious.

Which I raised the black flag in 1999. WEG or bust.
