"Anakin Skywalker" is a volume in the Star Wars Encyclopedia series of reference books published by De Agostini. It was published on June 8, 2021.[1]
Publisher's summary
Raised as a slave from his earliest childhood, Anakin Skywalker always aspired to be something more. He possessed a great sense of justice, an extraordinary knack for mechanics, and surprising acumen for someone so young. All of this was mainly due to his great affinity with the Force. Only one encounter with Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn was enough for the Master to think that Anakin might be the Chosen One to bring balance to the Force. Young Skywalker would fulfill his dream of becoming a Jedi and this would mark a turning point in the course of galactic history that no one could have foreseen.[1]

Continuity
The booklet's information on Yerbana consists of a French translation of the English Wookieepedia article on the planet.
The booklet states that the "business on Cato Neimoidia" referenced by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith was an operation undertaken by Kenobi and Skywalker just before the Battle of Yerbana,[2] in 19 BBY.[3] This corresponds with the Star Wars Legends depiction of the event in James Luceno's 2005 novel Labyrinth of Evil.[4] However, the 2022 novel Brotherhood depicts a canon version of the incident[5] occurring in 22 BBY.[6] All the same, author Mike Chen stated in an interview fans were free to continue to see "that business" as a late war matter, as was presented in Labyrinth of Evil.[7]

- ↑ Brotherhood is set between the beginning of the Clone Wars and the Battle of Christophsis, as the novel's plot involves Anakin Skywalker becoming a Jedi Knight, a rank he attained between those events. As Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates both events to 22 BBY, Brotherhood must be set in that year.
