The United States Of Star Wars (Geography)

Note: X-wing your way over to a full-size version HERE.

Rogue Leader Rebecca Crane went and created a map of The United States of Star Wars (or USSW if you're into the whole brevity thing), with a different planet/location from Star Wars representing each state based on similarities in geography and other factors like the kind of people that live there. For example: Maine is Naboo because it's filled with nothing but annoying @$$holes. Get it? Because that's where JarJar's from. Oh come on -- I'z just kiddin', Maine! (See what I did there?)

There are probably tens of planets that work for each state, I picked either the first one that I came to or the best fit.

Planets were assigned based on partial terrain, landmarks that correlate with the planet and state, types of people in the state and planet, famous landmarks, or slightly randomly selected (but loosely based on facts) from my brother and myself.

Rebecca posted a list of all the states and their corresponding Star Wars planets HERE in case you can't identify them all by picture alone because at some point you decided the whole "virgin for life" thing wasn't for you. Hey, it's not for everybody. Back me up, sister!
