"It's time."
"Time for what?"
"For your trials. For you to become a Jedi Knight"
―Silandra Sho and Rooper Nitani[6]

379 BBY, or 379[1] Before the Battle of Yavin, was a year in the 'ABY-BBY' dating system[7] that was a part of the High Republic Era. Around that year,[2] the Barabel Petrish Imglor ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight, and the village Peka on the world Batuu became subject to nightly raids by a salmaca creature. One of those raids resulted in the death of the villager Tuntis. Jedi Padawan Rooper Nitani passed her Jedi Trials by helping solve the issue with the salmaca and retrieving the shield of her Jedi Master, Silandra Sho, and ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight.[6]

Around the same year,[1] Marda Ro—the Evereni[8] founder of a group of raiders who would eventually become the Nihil[9]—ran into a Jedi at a marketplace during[8] her[9] quest for other members of her species and assaulted him. Afterward, she fed him to a Force-consuming beast called the Great Leveler aboard her starship, the Gaze Electric.[8]

Behind the scenes[]

379 BBY simultaneously appeared in the George Mann short story "Shield of the Jedi"[6] and in a flashback in the short story "A Closed Fist Has No Claws," written by Tessa Gratton.[8] Both stories were published in the 2023 young-adult anthology The High Republic: Tales of Light and Life as a part of the Star Wars: The High Republic multimedia project.[6][8]

Notes and references[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 "A Closed Fist Has No Claws" establishes that the section depicting the Jedi's death aboard the Gaze Electric takes place when Marda Ro is roughly eighteen years old. The High Republic: Path of Deceit, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates the events of to 382 BBY, establishes both that members of the Path of the Open Hand receive full membership at the age of fifteen and that Ro had recently become a full member, meaning that she is around fifteen years old. Therefore, the section of "A Closed Fist Has No Claws" depicting the Jedi's death must take place around 379 BBY.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 "Shield of the Jedi" establishes that Rooper Nitani is around eighteen years old during its events. During the events of The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 382 BBY, Nitani is fifteen years old. Therefore, "Shield of the Jedi" must take place around 379 BBY.
  3. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious dates the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala on Coruscant and the carbon-freezing of Han Solo—events that Star Wars: Timelines places in the years 22 BBY and 3 ABY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, respectively—to 7955.442.1 and 7980.421.2 in the Coruscant reckoning calendar, therefore establishing a difference of approximately 7,977 years between the two dating systems.
  4. Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide places the founding of the Galactic Empire in the year 3258 LY of the Lothal Calendar. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to 19 BBY, placing the zero point—the Battle of Yavin—of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system around 3277 LY and therefore establishing a difference of approximately 3,277 years between the two dating systems.
  5. Per Star Wars: The Rebel Files, a calendar existed during the reign of the Galactic Empire the zero point of which was the Empire's founding. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to the year 19 BBY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, therefore establishing a difference of approximately nineteen years between the two dating systems.
