Development

So having the chance to introduce audiences to some of the game’s cast, and explore a bit of who they are and how they got where they are is really fun."
- ―Matthew Rosenberg

- ↑ The prologues of Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple take place before and concurrently with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. The events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order take place about five years after the end of the Clone Wars, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. Therefore, it can be deduced that the events of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple take place around 14 BBY.
- ↑ Jedi Master Poli Dapatian, who is present on the Jedi High Council in Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple 1, retires from his position in Master & Apprentice, meaning that the comic must take place before the novel. Template:MasterApprenticedate Therefore Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple takes place some time prior.
