Location and Timeline of Rogue One?
On the image in the section "early rebellion" it shows a screenshot from the new rogue one trailer, and the caption says that she was on Yavin 4 shortly before the Battle of Yavin. Though it looks similar, is there actual conformation that this is Yavin 4? Also no direct timeline has been established yet... Pablo Hidalgo tweet "We're not gonna get into timeline specifics now. Sorry!": https://twitter.com/pablohidalgo/status/718189683780501506 If there is conformation on these things that's fine, I just think it needs a source. -Thatgirlwiththestaff (talk) 05:39, April 8, 2016 (UTC)
- It's definitely Yavin based on its design, yeah. And as for the timeline, "early rebellion" is just a catch-all term like "early life" in articles. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 11:54, April 8, 2016 (UTC)
Possible non-canon information
The events discussed under the "Fall of the Republic" section occurred in deleted scenes from Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Since these scenes were cut, wouldn't they be considered non-canonical? Shayn Mikel (talk) 03:52, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
- Normally deleted scenes are non-canon, but these specific scenes have been canonized through Mon Mothma's Databank entry and Ultimate Star Wars. - Cwedin(talk) 04:02, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
Two conflicting sources
The Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded states that Mon Mothma is 1.73 meters tall. However, 
Mon Mothma in the Databank (backup link) is stated as being 1.5 meters tall. This page assumes the latter to be correct until further clarification is provided.

- Actually, the 1.73 figure makes much more sense than the 1.5 meter one. When you compare Mon mothma to other people standing around her, there is no way on Korriban she's only 1.5. I think we should go with the Character Encyclopedia figure, simply because it's a newer (and printed!) source that reflects better what appears on screen. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:48, June 21, 2016 (UTC)
Date of election to senatorship
I see that the date has been changed from 27 to 25 BBY, using Star Wars: The Rebel Files as the source. However, the Rebel Files only say it happened in "8 BFE", which would be 8 years before the creation of the Empire in 19 BBY, and thus indeed 27 BBY. --Lelal Mekha

- Apologies then, someone added onto Imperial calendar that it was 6 BFE --Lewisr (talk) 12:32, January 8, 2018 (UTC)
- That was my mistake--Vitus InfinitusTalk 12:35, January 8, 2018 (UTC)
Timeline retcon (Queen's Shadow spoilers)
In Queen's Shadow, Mon Mothma says she was "very new to the Senate when [Amidala] made [her] speech as Queen of Naboo" during the events of Episode I. In other words, she was already a senator by 32 BBY, which not only contradicts her date of election given in Star Wars: The Rebel Files (27 BBY, but also her birth date in Star Wars: Rogue One: The Ultimate Visual Guide (46 BBY—unless we're going to accept that she was made a senator at the age of 14. --Lelal Mekha (Audience Room) 12:07, March 6, 2019 (UTC)
- It must be a mistake--Vitus InfinitusTalk 16:31, March 6, 2019 (UTC)
- So what are we going to do? --Lewisr (talk) 21:41, March 15, 2019 (UTC)
- Twitter I guess. Fan26 (Talk) 21:49, March 15, 2019 (UTC)
- It's a bit of a stretch, but I don't think she explicitly states she was a senator during that time (even though it's probably what the line meant), so she could have been an assistant or an aide or something. Zed42 (talk) 21:51, March 15, 2019 (UTC)
- That would work. "Mothma had been working in the Senate since at least...but did not fully become a senator until {date}". Fan26 (Talk) 22:02, March 15, 2019 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, there's one point in the novel where Amidala, during her first year as senator (and thus 28 BBY), thinks that "four years as a senator couldn’t give Mon Mothma that much clout."—Unsigned comment by LelalMekha (talk • contribs)
- I guess that settles that then, I haven't seen anyone else mention this to Johnston or the story group so we might be on our own for this. Still inclined to agree its a mistake --Lewisr (talk) 22:27, March 15, 2019 (UTC)
- If someone could ask Johnston or the SG to see if they've an opinion or solution about it, would be great. In the meantime we should keep the conflicting tag and mention the contradiction on the BTS. In the end, I think its probably going to end up being that novels are more important than Ref books.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 00:05, March 16, 2019 (UTC)
- Sorry to bring this up again, but again from Narkina 5 (episode) there is mention that Mon was senator at 16, and that she married Perrin at 15. So this realistically needs to be addressed Lewisr (talk) 00:40, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- I think the best way to do it would be to go with Andor, as it is a narrative source that provides a direct date (given Mon's birth date in the ROVG), and document at the contridictions in the bts. -ThrawnChiss7 (talk) 00:58, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- Queen's Shadow is also a narrative source that provides a direct date, that she was senator for 4 years before Padme joined the Senate in 28 BBY. So that would place Mon's birth in 48 BBY. This is what needs to be addressed, her birth date Lewisr (talk) 01:09, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- I guess we take the narrative sources as accurate and say she joined the senate in 32 BBY, at age 16, and disregard the ROUVG info. (We already did that for Cassian Jeron Andor) -ThrawnChiss7 (talk) 01:14, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

Image
Isn't the image 9 ABY really 9 BBY? —Unsigned comment by 84.133.41.232 (talk • contribs)
- No, it's correct as is. That image is from Ahsoka, which takes place in 9 ABY per the reasoning here.
