- ↑ 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. Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle must take place after the story told by Thom Hudd in Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 4, which Star Wars Outlaws, dated to 3 ABY by Visit a Galaxy Far, Far Away with our Star Wars liveblog direct from San Diego Comic-Con 2024! on www.thepopverse.com (archived from the original on August 5, 2024), refers to as having recently occurred. The appearance of Darth Vader in Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle 5 means the series must also take place before Vader's death at the Battle of Endor, dated to 4 ABY by Timelines, placing Return to Vader's Castle around c. 3-4 ABY.
