  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 StarWars.com A Tale from Obi-Wan's Youngling Days and More from Marvel's May 2022 Star Wars Comics – Exclusive Preview on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that the frame story in Obi-Wan 1 takes place during Obi-Wan Kenobi's final days on Tatooine, meaning it is set soon before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which days before A New Hope, to 1 BBY. Therefore, the frame story of Obi-Wan must occur in 1 BBY.
