Differently from previous VR products by ILMxLAB, Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge transitions to storyLIVING, where players are inside a world making consequential choices that drive their experience forward, rather than the previous format of storytelling.

Tara's Theme - Original Score by Bear McCreary | Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge on the official ILMxLAB YouTube channel (backup link) "Emmy-winning composer Bear McCreary, known for television shows like Battlestar Galactica and The Walking Dead, films like 10 Cloverfield Lane, and games like the hit God of War, scored the primary adventure that runs through Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge. In that storyline, players assume the role of a droid repair technician who crash lands on Batuu and must face off against a nefarious Guavian Death Gang cell and its leader -- Tara Rashin."

- ↑ Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire begins concurrent with the events of Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, then jumps four months ahead to the Resistance establishing its presence on Batuu, and concludes with an epilogue set several weeks later, when the First Order occupies the planet and the Battle of Batuu begins. Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is also set during the occupation of Batuu and depicts the Battle of Batuu via the attraction Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. The Star Wars Book dates the Battle of Batuu to 34 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 34 ABY according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary also places the Battle of Batuu six months after The Force Awakens, which Galactic Atlas dates to 34 ABY. Therefore everything within Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and any related tie-in media depicting the Battle of Batuu, or set between The Force Awakens and the battle, must also occur in 34 ABY.
- ↑ Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge – Last Call establishes that "Temple of Darkness"—Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge takes place before the Great Hyperspace Disaster, which appears in The High Republic: Light of the Jedi. However,
Ady Sun'Zee | Characters of Star Wars: The High Republic on the official Star Wars YouTube channel (backup link) establishes that "Temple of Darkness" takes place after the launch of Starlight Beacon. The Star Wars Book dates the launch of the Starlight Beacon, which is depicted as part of the events of The High Republic: Light of the Jedi, to 232 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 232 BBY according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas. As such, the rest of the novel's events must also occur around 232 BBY. As "Temple of Darkness" takes place between two events set around 232 BBY, it must take place in approximately the same year.
