Around 9 ABY,[2] the human Wim and his friend Neel were set to take the test. The day before the test Undersecretary Fara came to their class at At Attin Middle School Gamma to talk about the test. The next day, Wim slept in and missed the tram to school. Trying to make it to school in time for the test, Wim took his hoverbike through the forest hoping it would be a shortcut. However Wim crashed down into a ravine where he found what he thought was a Jedi Temple. He was found by a safety droid who took him to school but he still missed the test. Wim's father convinced the proctor to let Wim take the test the next day with a fifty–point penalty which meant that he would have to get all the questions correct to pass the test.

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew — "This Could Be a Real Adventure"
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well.
SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
