Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The asteroid field in Empire Strikes Back, the one most prominent in pop culture, was not from a recently destroyed planet.
The one in A New Hope was. What was the origin of the one in Empire?
When the Falcon drops out of hyperspace in A New Hope Han says:
Han didn't consider it to be an asteroid field, it wasn't named as such. It was smaller debris.
The asteroid field in Empire Strikes Back isn't given an origin on-screen, it's just there. It's obviously been there for quite a while, though. It's got native megafauna living in it.
I checked Wookieepedia and there's Legends material that establishes a variety of different explanations for the asteroids, but they're all natural and all happened in the ancient past.
I see. Good point.
