- "I expected him to be taller. And less hairy. But I guess that's what happens when you get old. My grandpa has hair growing out of his ears, and he's only sixty years old."
- ―Victor Starspeeder, writing in his journal

Jedi Academy: Return of the Padawan, which depicts the 150th annual Lightsaber Fencing Tournament of the Coruscant Jedi Academy, is set during Roan Novachez's next school year after that depicted in Jedi Academy, therefore its events must take place around 195 BBY. Furthermore, Jedi Academy: The Force Oversleeps features the 164th tournament, meaning it must be set around 181 BBY. Finally, the events of Jedi Academy: A New Class takes places during Victor Starspeeder's school year that preceded the one depicted in The Force Oversleeps and therefore around 182 BBY.
