8 BBY, or 8 Before the Battle of Yavin, was a year in the 'ABY-BBY' dating system. The year was a part of the Imperial Era, a time period in which Emperor Sheev Palpatine's Galactic Empire governed the galaxy.[1]

Behind the scenes[]
Star Wars: Timelines places the events of Choose Your Destiny: A Han & Chewie Adventure around 8 BBY. However, it also places "Powered Down, Part 1" and 2 to 9 BBY.[1] As the Powered Down comics take place after A Han & Chewie Adventure, this placement is impossible.
