I take a lot of time, thinking of voices when I'm reading or/playing. So I wanted to catalogue them as I go through. Movie characters or game characters with voices, will not be shown. Unless multiple actors play the character, in which case I will pick my definitive voice. I pick and choose stories I like from the EU and canon, mix them together and make them fit, It's something I do for fun. And for me. From the EU, I've cut out the Revan Novel and SWTOR as I feel both do a disservice to KOTOR 2 and to a lesser extent KOTOR I. as SWTOR seems to live it's own relm separate from EU and canon. And Anything after the Unifying force as I feel its the perfect endcap. I've cut out TCW 2008 as it ignored all the fantastic Republic comics and tie-in novels. I think it fits better as a Canon exclusive thing anyway considering Rebels, The Bad Batch, The Mandalorian and Ahsoka all rely on it. and I've cut out TFU 1&2 as it contradicted a lot, From Canon, I've added the Thrawn Ascendancy Trilogy, Tarkin, Catalyst a Rogue One Novel, Andor, Rogue One, Jedi: Fallen Order, and Jedi: Survivor I've also given myself the challenge of reusing as many canon/TCW actors as I can in roles I feel fit in my timeline as despite my issues with the writing present in TCW 2008 and Disney stuff, I do not blame the actors.
