This is a star wars galaxy map i found. I have inkarnate but i dont think its possible to make a galaxy map like this on it.If anyone knows of any tutorials that could help me make something like this i'd appareciate it.

Edit: I actually figured it out on my own. Apparently you can just use inkarnate.Thanks to all those who commented.

    Relevant: that map was posted on reddit by someone who said it's a drawing made in Photoshop. https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWars/comments/68f558/star_wars_galaxy_map_i_made_to_learn_some/ – The Square-Cube Law Aug 08 '21 at 23:04
  • Also, for info, that's definitely not the Milky Way, note the weird diagonal "spokes". – Escaped dental patient. Aug 08 '21 at 23:19

    I haven't looked at all the options myself, but you could check out what we have in our list of worldbuilding resources. If you don't find something that can help you out there, do please let us know if you find an appropriate tool! Indeed, the answer is a community wiki, please add the resource. Thanks! – JBH Aug 08 '21 at 23:20
  • The lines on the map are trade routes. This look basically like an subway/underground map on a spacy background. Try https://metromapmaker.com/ – JonSG Aug 08 '21 at 23:32

    You should post your solution as an answer, then accept it with the checkmark. – rek Aug 09 '21 at 05:18
  • @ARogueAnt. "definitely not the Milky Way". I should HOPE not. OP explicitly states it is "a star wars galaxy map". Film credits do say " a long time ago IN A GALAXY FAR,FAR AWAY" – PcMan Aug 09 '21 at 15:17

There's nothing wrong with drawing the starry heavens that inhabit your imagination on a piece of paper, you know!

I think the lines you see on that map are "trade routes" but even if they are something else, they remind me of an underground/subway map with systems as stations. All framed on a space gas background.

There is a free tool you can use to draw these kinds of subway maps. I'm guessing there are others but you might start with: https://metromapmaker.com/
