↑ Marvel's New Star Wars Series to Explore the New Republic Erae by Schedeen, Jessie on IGN (January 21, 2025) (backup link archived on January 21, 2025) states the events of Star Wars begin around two years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, which equates to around 6 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. As "Past is Prologue" takes place immediately before the events of Star Wars, its events must also be set around that year.
