Notes and references[edit | edit source]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader’s Castle #2 (of 5) (Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle) on Amazon.com (backup link)
- ↑ Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 5 ends with Darth Vader imprisoning Vaneé, and as shown in Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader's Castle, he doesn't get released until after the end of the Galactic Civil War. As he appears in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 0 BBY, Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle must take place some time after 0 BBY. As Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle features Darth Vader, who dies in 4 ABY according to Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, then this series must take place some time between 0 BBY and 4 ABY.
- ↑ Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 2 features the Death Star, which is visibly less complete than its appearance in Tarkin, meaning that Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 2 must take place prior. However, as it's visibly more complete than its appearance in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 2 must take place some time between these two stories. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith to 19 BBY, and Tarkin dates itself five years later. Therefore, Tarkin must be set in 14 BBY. and Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 2 must take place between these two years.
