Around 9 ABY,[3] after oversleeping and missing the tram for the Career Assessment Test, Wim ran back home got his bike from the garage. Trying to make it to school in time for the test he speed past the Ithorian Mrs. Ikk scaring their frog-dog causing it to bark at him. Wim took his hoverbike through the forest hoping it would be a shortcut. While racing through the forest on his hoverbike, Wim runs into several branches and shrubs, causing him to drop his helmet. As he rides towards the city center he attempts to slam the breaks to avoid a ravine but loses his balance and falls down into the ravine. In the ravine Wim finds a hatch which he believes might be a Jedi Temple however before he can investigate a Safety droid finds him and escorts him to school. Later Wim returns to the raving with his friend Neel and their hoverbikes.[2]

- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Chapter 1: The Mandalorian" of The Mandalorian Season One to 9 ABY. In addition,
"A Certain Point of View" — Star Wars Insider 228 also dates "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" to nine years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 9 ABY per Timelines. "Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" takes place after the conflict on Mandalore, which is the main event depicted in "Chapter 23: The Spies" and "Chapter 24: The Return," the final two episodes of The Mandalorian Season Three. Therefore, Seasons One through Three of Star Wars: The Mandalorian must all be set in 9 ABY as well. SWCA 2022: 20 Highlights from Lucasfilm's Studio Showcase on StarWars.com (backup link) states that Star Wars: Skeleton Crew takes place in the same timeframe as Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Star Wars: Ahsoka—the latter of which can also be dated to 9 ABY following the reasoning here. As such, Skeleton Crew must take place around 9 ABY as well.
