- "We're looking at the first year of Caleb's life because this is before he took the name Kanan. We're looking at the first year of Caleb's life after Order 66, the day before, and about give or take a year after. This is not designed to be, just to be clear, sum total. It's not like this will completely fill in the gap of Order 66 and 'A New Dawn.' This is a hugely significant event in his life, obviously, very seminal for him, but it's not designed to be encyclopedic."
- ―Greg Weisman, on the setting for The Last Padawan
Star Wars: Kanan Book I: The Last Padawan is the first story arc of Marvel Comics' series Star Wars: Kanan. Written by Greg Weisman, it began publication on April 1, 2015 and comprises six issues.[7]

- ↑ The flashback story in Kanan 1-Kanan 3 takes place during and shortly after Order 66, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY.
- ↑ Kanan 6 states that it had been fourteen years since Kanan Jarrus had seen Gamut Key. As Kanan last saw Gamut Key in Kanan 4, this comic must be set fourteen years prior to Kanan 6. Kanan 6 has the Ghost crew aware of Fulcrum, meaning that it must also be set after "Gathering Forces". However, as Ezra Bridger does not yet have his lightsaber, it must be set before "Path of the Jedi." "Star Wars: Galactic Atlas" places "Empire Day" (which directly precedes "Gathering Forces") and "Path of the Jedi" in 4 BBY, meaning that Kanan 6 must also take place in 4 BBY. If Kanan 6 takes place in 4 BBY, and Kanan 4 takes place fourteen years prior, it must take place in 18 BBY. Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Kanan 5 to 18 BBY.
- ↑ The opening crawl for Kanan 2 places the present day events of Star Wars: Kanan to be fifteen years after the Proclamation of the New Order, which occurred in 19 BBY according to Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, the present day events occur in 4 BBY.

I'm doing the first five issues, and I'm very; I just started writing the script to issue 4, and I'm very proud of the first three issues that are done."
