You’ve neglected Nathan P. Butler, @swfanworks
His website, starwarsfanworks.com hosts some of the best Star Wars fan Audio Dramas
He also created and maintains the Star Wars Timeline, the TRUE essential chronology.
He has written in the Star Wars Universe (Star Wars Tales – Equals and Opposites)
He contributed to the new Star Wars Essential Atlas.
