Continuity
- "No. I've followed Zao's example this past year or so, letting the Force lead me."
- ―Quinlan Vos
The original four issues of Star Wars: Republic: Rite of Passage each stated: "The events in this series take place 30 years prior to Star Wars: A New Hope." However, a quote made by Quinlan Vos within Star Wars: Republic 43: Rite of Passage, Part 2 placed the events of this series at least a year after the events of a previous arc, Star Wars: Republic: Darkness which was also set in 30 BBY. Initial comments made by author John Ostrander via the Jedi Council Forums in 2002 initially placed Rite of Passage circa 29 BBY,[4] while both the first and second edition trade paperback collections, released in 2004, place Rite of Passage: "approximately twenty-eight years before the events in Star Wars: A New Hope." 2007's Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force further corroborated the 28 BBY date through the inclusion of comments, specifically dated at 28 BBY,[3] attributed to Tholme, shortly before Quinlan Vos became a Jedi Master, as depicted in Star Wars: Republic 45: Rite of Passage, Part 4. Both Star Wars: The Comics Companion, published in 2006, and 2010's Omnibus: Quinlan Vos: Jedi in Darkness once again erroneously placed Rite of Passage in 30 BBY. The in-universe quotes by Quinlan and Tholme, both dictate that Rite of Passage take place in 28 BBY.
