Development

Writer Cavan Scott originally thought about parodying Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, but ultimately decided to parody Bram Stoker's 1897 novel Dracula, given that Count Dooku actor Sir Christopher Lee was best known for playing Count Dracula in several Hammer films.^[4]

↑ Cavan Scott on the Ghoulactic Horrors of Tales from the Death Star on StarWars.com (backup link) states that the events of Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle take place around the time of the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 1 BBY. Timelines also dates the flashback events of Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle 4 to 1 BBY, therefore meaning Tales from Vader's Castle must occur in 1 BBY.

As Star Wars Adventures: Tales from Vader's Castle 2 takes place after "Nomad Droids" but before the end of the Clone Wars, it must take place some time between 20 BBY and 19 BBY.
