Consider donating ( if you can! ) to help keep the site up and running! Also check out W.R. van Hage’s map and the Star Wars Atlas Online Companion. TIMELINE. While hosted on Wookieepedia, this is nevertheless deserving of its own bullet point. This page provides an approximate timeline with dates of all canon material. You can also filter items, so that it displays only TV episodes, for example, or only books, or only movies! Find the Legends timeline here. STAR WARS SLANG AND PHRASES.

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe

[askshivanulegacy]

This is brilliant!  Here’s another:

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit).  You normally comm someone instead of call them.

Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives.  The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).

[roane72]

I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.

[sugardaddylukeskywalker]

I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit   motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?) 

Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.

[freshbrainss]

I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!

[borgevino]

a shower is a sanisteam

nearly everyone has commlinks but holocomm units are a bit more pricy – think space skype. they’re connected to the holonet.  i don’t think there’s a star wars term for emails (maybe just mail) but those also exist.

personal computing devices are datapads, stationary ones are terminals.  also, you don’t get a stack of physical paper for paperwork; you get a stack of datapads. (although paper is called flimsi, paperwork is still called paperwork. go figure)

kilometers are klicks

a lot of fighter pilot helmets have tongue switches for their commlinks so pilots don’t have to take their hands off the controls during dogfights.  random factoid that might come in handy

some in-universe swearwords: sithspit, sithspawn, fragged, fragging

a hacker is a slicer or codeslicer

I was thinking of making this post just today – glad to see a version is already going around!!

[captainofthetidesbreath]

Klick is actually a real-world slang term for kilometer! Everything that I can remember is that the galaxy uses the metric system, or at least the GAR does. And I’ve seen showers just called showers in some Legends novels.

Some things I don’t see above:

Plastic is often called plastoid, and I’ve seen the clone troopers’ armor called either just plastoid or plastoid alloy. Plastoid goes for either your thick stuff or your thin sheets. There is a thing called plastifoil, I’ve seen it used in reference to the material of a thermal blanket.

Bucket is a slang in (at least) the GAR for helmet. I don’t know how common it is among stormtroopers.

Your memory card type things, which go into your datapads, are (natch) datachips.

Similarly, your ID is an identichip.

And as far as video recorders, above says camera as holocamera, but I’ve also seen holorecorder.

Also, as far as I’ve seen, though the city on Coruscant covers the entire planet, the city itself is called Galactic City during the Republic and Imperial City (iirc) during the Empire. Triple Zero (or Trip Zip) is a military slang term for Coruscant because of its coordinates 0-0-0.

More generally, when looking up slang terms and swears, consider where it comes from. I wouldn’t expect a Corellian to say the Mando’a swear shab. Though, the Huttese fierfek seems to be universal. The swear kriffing is also a common one.

[stormears]

Bless you all for compiling this!

[mylastmoment]

Further swear words include karabast, kriff(ing) and kark(ing). 

Lightsabers short out in water unless turned to a special mode beforehand!

I’ve also seen “plastoid” referred to as “plastisteel”.

Pens/pencils are generally referred to as a stylus.

There is a difference between a ship and a speeder; ships are like planes or boats in terms of they are for long-distance space travel. Speeders are like cars or motorbikes; for planetary travel.

observation: emoji

today i watched a fan/meme edit with a dabbing emoji. 

a. how have i never seen this before

b. it is glorious

c. i have no other proper way to express my happiness 

[resqectable]

So, what if, instead of thinking about solving your whole life, you just think about adding additional good things. One at a time. Just let your pile of good things grow.

Love didn’t hurt you. Someone who doesn’t know how to love you hurt you. Don’t confuse the two.

random question: SANDWICHES

how many people out there have tried or tried and liked sandwiches with cream cheese and jelly?

is it just me?

[nikasholistic]

Write for yourself. No, this approach is not selfish. Write for yourself because you need to fall in love with your story. You will have to edit this thing, you will have to rewrite some parts, you will have to work on it. If you don’t like it, you won’t find enough motivation to finish it. Don’t write for the market, write for yourself.

my Very Correct opinions.

have a little quiz. get roasted by a stranger on the internet.

[the-awkward-echo]

RESULT: 

steph on me brown

<333

let's see... you sleep in a bunch. a lot of people like you, but your true friends are few and far between. you tend to assume the worst of others, and second-guess yourself constantly. you can be a little shit sometimes, and your true friends know you're a gremlin at heart.
