Galma Garlic Puffed Cheese Chips, which contained garlic

While on the planet Siline[3] in 134 BBY,[4] the human Lionine Graf used Silinese garlic, yellow chili oil, and tree onions to season their dish of grain and rislis eggs.[3] In 19 BBY,[5] the spy Chemish Runazha sought to report information to Imperial Intelligence about a plot to disrupt the upcoming Separatist Reintegration Day. While there, Runazha felt that one of the interviewers had sleeves that smelled of garlic.[6]

In 0 ABY,[7] when the human rebel operative Luke Skywalker was repairing the Desert Jewel, the starship of the cryptologist Drusil Bephorin, Bephorin brought him bowls of noodles in a broth made from peanuts and garlic. As Skywalker attempted to use the Force to lift his fork from the bowl, he could smell the garlic and peanuts of the broth. However, he became distracted by the yelling of the human Nakari Kelen and dropped the fork, spilling the broth all over himself.[1] In 34 ABY,[8] the snack foods Galma Garlic Puffed Cheese Chips and Sullust Garlic Chips, which contained garlic, were sold at Jat Kaa's Coolers in the settlement Black Spire Outpost on the world Batuu.[2]

  4. ↑ The events of The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown take place in 134 BBY per the following reasoning. The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown establishes that Jecki Lon is the Padawan of Sol and Yord Fandar has yet to undertake his Jedi Trials. The novel also states that Lon has been Sol's Padawan for at least two years, as well as that Sol had not taken a Padawan for years after his former Padawan, Verosha Aniseya, left the Jedi Order. From this, at least four years have passed since Aniseya left the Order. "Lost / Found"—the events of which take place in 132 BBY per the reasoning here—establishes Aniseya left the Order six years before its events, equating to 138 BBY. The episode further states Fandar passed his Jedi Trials two years before its events, meaning he must have passed his Trials in 134 BBY.

Instagram-Logo Rebecca Roanhorse (@rebeccaroanhorse) on Instagram (post): "Title and updated release date of my upcoming STAR WARS novel announced at SDCC. THE EDGE OF THE ABYSS takes place a year before Andor S1." (backup link) states that Edge of the Abyss takes place a year before the events of Andor Season 1, which are set in 5 BBY per the reasoning here. Therefore, the events of Edge of the Abyss must be set in 6 BBY, and the events of The Mask of Fear in 19 BBY.
