Notes and referencesEdit

↑ ^1.0 ^1.1 ^1.2 Star Wars (2015) #44 on Marvel Comics' official website (backup link)
↑ In Star Wars 43 Trios says that "the Imperials are weaker than they have been for twenty years," meaning Star Wars 44 must take place at least twenty years after the formation of the Galactic Empire, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 19 BBY. This means Star Wars 44 takes place no earlier than 1 ABY. Since this issue is also set before the Assault on the Mako-Ta Space Docks, which took place in 1 ABY, it must have occurred in 1 ABY.
