In addition, the flashbacks of Star Wars (2020) 50, which occur after the events of Star Wars (2020) 43 and thereby also after those of Dark Droids, take place approximately twenty-two years after Sheev Palpatine becoming Galactic Emperor, which Timelines dates to 19 BBY. Therefore Doctor Aphra (2020) 37 must be set around 3 ABY.
