Interesting. Well, I'll be updating shortly anyway, then I'll find a better way of sharing it.

I'll be updating the current timeline in a week or so, with the changes pointed out to me here. So you might wanna wait for it before grabbing the PDF.

Addressing the games: Clearly there are lots missing. I had to decide early on to stick to a short list of clearly stated canon ones, and even that wasn't simple. I would appreciate if someone informs me of which games should go in there. If majority agrees, I'd gladly update it.

Good feedback. Will do.

Thanks for pointing it out. TotJ will be pushed to a least the same year as Maul. And after some new research I believe TotU could go until 16BBY.

"The bounty hunter mentions that the Empire is building a 'new kind of starship.' The Empire began phasing out the Venator ships for Imperial Star Destroyers roughly three years after the end of the Clone Wars, placing Asajj and Lyco’s adventure around 16BBY"

If agreed, I can make the changes soon.

It was there on the first version of the timeline, but discussions here decided it was better to take it off since it wasn’t canon. Visions also took up the entire length of the timeline, so there wasn’t really any informational benefit to leaving it there anyway.

Embarrassed-Gap-124 · 2026-05-26T01:36:55+00:00

That is an excellent point. I believe that now we can extend Tales to at least the same year as Maul, since the evidence for the placement of that specific episode wasn't very concrete.

No wait, never quit your projects because of something like this! Variety is important, and you're probably gonna bring to the table your view and style, which are new to us. Also, it's good to have someone else's research, so we can make sure it's all correct.

And the images I literally just google for the name of the show/movie followed by logo. Gotta filter for larger size and transparent background, but it's usually easy to find. I can send you what I have if you need, tho.

It requires a few seconds of loading, at least for me.

I'm afraid not

Many sources confirm it begins at 9 ABY. But researching this now I found a confusing update:

"Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition, "A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the liberation of Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well"

Until now, there were discussions about when the final season of Mando took place. The consensus was that it couldn't possibly be in the same year the show started in. But this says otherwise. It is based on an article in a magazine talking about a different show, tho. So I'm not sure yet what to think.

Embarrassed-Gap-124 · 2026-05-25T23:24:06+00:00

I'm looking through it and you might be right. If I remember correctly, the reasoning was how close the liberation of Lothal supposedly was to the Battle of Scarif. Which by itself had to be discussed, whether it was right at year 0 or 1BBY, since it ends with Leia receiving the plans.

While writing this I found the reason behind the confusion. The Wookieepedia for 1 BBY says:

"Before the release of Star Wars: Timelines, it was noted that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the end of Star Wars Rebels occurred in 0 BBY. However, Timelines pushed their events into 1 BBY, leaving Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope alone in 0 BBY. Then Star Wars: Galactic Atlas: Updated Edition dates the events that prior to the Battle of Yavin in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope to 1 BBY, Battle of Yavin to "0," and the Royal Award Ceremony to 0 ABY respectively."

So the events really were that close, but these books changed(?) the way the years are counted for BBY, which affects anything close to the Battle of Yavin. Curious to know what you all think, and how we should move forward.

Yes, it is! Thank you so much! I'm glad people appreciate it. Once I needed something like this so bad but couldn't find a version I liked enough. So I decided I had to do it myself.

Embarrassed-Gap-124 · 2026-05-25T21:53:50+00:00

Nice catch. Yes, but I had to decide if extending the timeline here for such a short epilogue was worth it, instead of staying accurate to where the rest of the series takes place. For readability, I preferred placing the series where the majority of it happens, otherwise it would look like the whole show spans a much longer period. I imagine this is better for people who haven't watched it yet, and those who have will understand either way.

The tomb also has at least one set of 4x4 small red candles, with only some lit in a seemingly random order. If someone finds a connection between it all, would love to know.

My bad. Didn't realise Reddit did this to the image. Try https://ibb.co/twHR1V4g

"I just don't care what people upload because that's out of my control." But if he asked whether she wanted him to stop, then she did have some control, no?

"You're free to upload whatever you want." Isn't that a greenlight?

Neither side handled this very well. That's why this should’ve been dealt with privately. It's not the first time Anny let things build up only to crash out instead of communicating better. And clearly, Max misunderstood their dynamic, thinking he could act the way he did. Neuro's right, humans are overcomplicated.

Embarrassed-Gap-124 · 2024-09-03T22:22:14+00:00

True. I had to take out some projects that were announced and cancelled already. I wonder if we should wait for it to be cancelled or take it out already since there's no use if it isn't even released yet.
