Notes and references
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 "T0-B1" takes place during the Great Jedi Purge, which ended with the Mission to Malachor according to The Odyssey of Star Wars: An Epic Poem. Star Wars: Timelines dates the mission to Malachor to 3 BBY, this is when the Jedi Purge ended, and the latest that "T0-B1" can take place. "T0-B1" also features the TIE/ad v1, as the TIE/ad v1 was introduced and had its maiden flight on Empire Day as shown in "Empire Day," which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 4 BBY, making this the earliest "T0-B1" can take place. Therefore, "T0-B1" must take place between 4 BBY and 3 BBY.
