Notes and references[]

- ↑ Cavan Scott on the Ghoulactic Horrors of Tales from the Death Star on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle takes place around the time of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the events of which are dated to 1 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines. As Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle immediately follows Tales, both series must take place around that year.
- ↑ 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.
