Obviously in Legends we had specific year:month:day dates for the six films, but has any of that specificity found its way into canon yet? I know Pablo keeps his "real-world" calendar that puts Rookies in "September 1955", and he's guessed ROTS is in mid-July, but has anyone uncovered any other specific dates?

Now that they exist in-universe sort of in Galaxy's Edge

Pretty simple question. As Midichlorians go higher in count, does the being in question's force sensitivity rise exponentially until eventual omnipotence? Darth Sidious had an estimated count of 19,000 or so, and Anakin was at 20,000 or more, and Anakin was unbelievably more powerful in comparison with only 1,000 more.

Finally ready to dive in and was hoping to do it this way. Here's an example I found of what I am looking for, but this only includes the first couple of releases

1967

•~February 4- Mitth'raw'nuodo and Eli Vanto are taken to Coruscant to meet with the Emperor.

•~March 4- Thrawn and Eli are invited to play "cards" with some troublesome students in a forbidden facility. Later, Thrawn is attacked by 4 people.

•May 4- Eli Vanto graduates from the Royal Imperial Academy on Coruscant. Thrawn is assigned to be Second Weapons Officer aboard the Gozanti-class cruiser "Blood Crow". Eli was assigned as Thrawn's aid.

1968

•Captain Virgilio promotes Thrawn to First Weapons Officer aboard the "Blood Crow".

•~November 4- Captain Virgilio is replaced by Captain Filia Rossi.

Hi all, I've gone through and updated the wiki with as much information from Battlefront II as I could think of. If I've missed anything, either let me know or add it yourself!

I just found this Sub and I am excited for what y'all are doing. I recently started a podcast with the intent of reviewing Star Wars literature (firs the New EU, then the Old) so this Sub looks like it could be a great resource. Keep up the good work!

I've transcribed all chapter breaks from Guardians of the Whills.

Under characters, Boss and Fixer are not from the novel Republic Commando: Hard Contact, they are from the Republic Commando game. As far as I know, the squad in Hard Contact, Omega, has not reappeared in canon

So I noticed that you guys don't have any info from Uprising on the timeline yet. I've been reading the fan PDF of it and through dialogue I've figured that Chapter 1 takes place from around 5-7 weeks (first week of the month to at least the third week of the month) after Endor because the opening crawl says it's been months since the Iron Blockade was set, a few missions before mission 41 the main character says they've learned a lot in the past few weeks since the events of the game began, then in mission 41 (which takes place shortly after the main character reminisced on the events of the game) the transmission from Leia (where she says she is recording the same day as Endor) was transmitted 2 months prior and in that mission they say that the Iron Blockade began the day of Endor.

I'm a little confused though because supposedly Chapter 2 takes place from 2 months post Endor to 6 months post Endor according to the Timeline of Canon Media page on Wookieepedia. I searched around for the words 'month' and 'week' in the PDF and couldn't find anything concrete so I'm just assuming the rest of the game still takes place 2 months post Endor.

I put this together for both here and the Star Wars Shadow Council weblog.

Something that greatly intrigues me about the Star Wars setting and the Force is the statistics of and mechanics Force sensitivity. We know a tiny number have the potential to become Jedi and the most will live their lives without ever seeing any overt evidence of its existence. However, there’s a relatively sizable number of people who are above average and below Jedi potential with consequences for all sorts of professions and statistics in large populations.

The Distribution of Force Potential

“I need a midi-chlorian count.” “The readings are off the chart. Over 20,000. Even Master Yoda doesn’t have a midi-chlorian count that high.” “No Jedi has.“

―Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenob

Whatever their reputation out-of-universe, the introduction of Midi-chlorians in The Phantom Menace tells us a lot about how individual Force sensitivity at the individual and population levels. From Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s conversation, we can deduce an individual’s ability to use the Force is directly correlated to their midi-chlorian count. We can also expect that it will follow a statistical distribution. Because it’s a straight numerical measure with a hard lower bound of zero, but no hard upper-bound it will likely resemble a right-skewed distribution:

Right skewed Distribution

The midi-chlorian count can never be zero, but we don’t know what the effective minimum is or where the median lies (median is preferred due to those on the far right distorting the mean). We can say most people are likely to fall very close to the median with a rapid drop to zero on the left side of the curve (because of the hard minimum). However, it is the people on the right side of the curve that are of the greatest interest.

The prequel-era Jedi Order looked for individuals with a minimum number of midi-chlorians to fill their ranks. Due to the shape of the curve, this also means a plurality of Jedi will be at or just above the minimum with a rapid decline in population as we move to the right. What this also tells us is there should be far more people who have the potential to use the Force to some extent than there are Jedi and even more who will have an affinity for it.

The Impact of Sensitivity

Why does this matter? It matters because a person strong in the Force makes use of it even when they’re not aware of it and it subtly impacts everything they do. The more sensitive you are, the more it impacts everything you do. Imperial academy instructors were specifically told to watch for students who exhibited performance well ahead of everyone else. These students would then be forcibly ‘recruited’ by the Inquisitors. Since high sensitivity manifests as performance well outside human norms we can ascertain the effects of increasing sensitivity on natural ability are exponential.

What about at lower levels though? Statements by Story Group member Pablo Hidalgo suggest the concept still holds:

4/ You can disbelieve in it, but still have it. I'm sure Ol Ben would attribute Han's amazing piloting & "luck" to the Force. Han wouldn't.

Therefore, we can expect the above chart will look something like this: Distribution of Force Abilities

This distribution has major consequences for the setting. Namely, in large populations those with the highest performance in a given profession are likely to have relatively high sensitivity, even if it falls below Jedi potential (and perform better than their real world counterparts). Also, as we move to the right on the curve, Force potential will become more important than natural talent (because its impact is exponential). In small population of randomly selected individuals, physical abilities will tend to dominate. However, as we increase the size of the population Force sensitivity becomes increasingly important.

Inferno Squad

Now we come to Inferno Squad. The members of Inferno Squad are stated to be the best in the Imperial military. Owing to its sheer size, the Imperial military relative Force sensitivity is going to make a statistical impact in the distribution of performance even if those with the highest potential are filtered out. Therefore, while perhaps not capable of becoming Jedi, the members of Inferno Squad should each have a strong affinity for the Force.

Hello everyone! A while ago I started this series on the chronological appearance of on-screen starships. I haven't made many but I try to get back to producing them when I can cause they're a lot of fun. I hope you consider having a watch. Enjoy!

I don't remember any other Star Wars book where so much Earth animals are casually mentioned.

"Phasma" mentions wolves, dogs, chickens, sharks, beetles and other animals as if they're all part of the Star Wars universe. I found that to be really jarring and every time it threw me off.

Did you feel the same? Is that a misstep from Lucasfilm Story Group?

Hey! So, I just learned about this Lego Star Wars series called the Freemaker Adventures. Its first season aired in 2016 but season 2 is airing on July 31, a few days from now.

The creators of this show say that, unlike previous Lego Star Wars shows, this one is not a parody. It's an actual story about a family known as the Freemakers that build and repair ships, and the youngest child happens to be Force-sensitive.

I think this series is canon, but should be taken with a grain of salt. While the humorous dialogue is unrealistic at times, the events are serious, and the creators consult the story group to make sure that the series strictly follows canon.

The creators say that this series is "Star Wars paraphrase", which basically means that it's all Star Wars but the way they interpret it is different from how it happens. That is exactly what Pablo Hidalgo has said in a tweet about all of Star Wars content. The events are all canon, but certain details may not always be true. (Looking for a link right now)

So from all that, I think it would be safe to count the events in this series as canon, but be careful about the small details.

Not to mention, some content in the show could be relevant to our reference wiki. It has been confirmed that Hera Syndulla will appear in the upcoming season 2, which could potentially help us with the Rebels timeline. Also, there are Force sensitives (a Sith agent and a Jedi-in-training) that could be added to our Force Sensitive pages on the wiki. It also has lot of new lore about the Jedi (the first kyber lightsaber and it's creator.)

So what do you guys think? I'd like to think that this could be a valuable source for our wiki.

Hello there,

I've been following this sub for a while and I've grown interested in timelines, chronologies and calendars within the GFFA. Some time ago I've bought Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious and I've tried to solve the Hosnian reckoning mystery. This is what I got:

• The first 4 digits are the year, this was pretty an easy task. 0 BBY/ABY = 7977 C.R.C. etc.

• The following 3 digits are the portion of the year that has already passed. For example:

– 7977.331 (capture of princess Leia above Tatooine) means that 33,1% of the year has already passed. 33,1% • 365 = 120,8 days. This means we are in the 121st day of the year (May 1st, which perfectly fits with ANH set in May);

– 7945.313 (Boonta Eve Classic) means that 31,3% of the year has already passed. 31,3% • 365 = 114,2 days. We are on the 115th day of the year (April 25th, which is 2 days after Anakin's birthday in Legends).

What do you think about?

PS: please forgive my grammar mistakes, English is not my first language.

EDIT
Here are my personal calculations:

• TPM = April 25, 32 BBY;
• AOTC = June 11, 22 BBY;
• Nack Movers = February 6, 21 BBY;
• Boba Fett arrest = February 7, 21 BBY (a bit too close to Nack Movers but I think that's because Lightsaber Lost spans across several days and ends February 6)
• Moogan Tea = February 14, 21 BBY
• Ziro's Death = March 22, 21 BBY
• Obi-Wan in disguise as Rako Hardeen = November 25, 21 BBY (it accounts perfectly the time jump)
• Jedi Temple bomb = March 16, 20 BBY
• Barriss Offee arrested = March 19, 20 BBY
• ANH = May 1, 0 BBY/ABY (I use to call it only 0 since they're the same year)
• TESB = June 3, 3 ABY

Hello there,

I'm a part of the YouTube channel Star Wars Audio Comics. Recently we made a chronological watch playlist with everything canon on it (including fan adaptations of stuff like our audio comics and stuff from other channels). But this also includes a lot of stuff from Legends and Non-Canon as well. Non-Canon is stuff like infinities, fan films and Lego shows.

Here's the timeline which has more info about it: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_hLZMC00YX5TxboZNiWm9fZR4V5GlELLYEBKK3bBISU/edit?usp=sharing

Timeline Additions

• 32 BBY: Han born on Correllia

• 24 BBY: Separatist crisis escalates

• 12 BBY: Lando acquires the Falcon

• 10 BBY: Meets Chewbacca on Mimban;  Kessel Run

Highlights

Characters:

• Han’s early childhood was spent in an orphanage in Coronet on Corellia. At the age of eight he became a scrumrat for the White Worm gang.

• Han was on the officer/pilot track in the Imperial Navy, but caused too many problems and was forced into the Imperial army.

• Qi’ra is from the Silo wasteland and gained Proxima’s favor after securing a highly profitable deal.

• Lando Calrissian is from Socorra and is writing an autobiography about his escapades named the Calrissian Chronicles. His escapades include the Rafa System, a caper involving the Mind Harp of Sharu and most recently, his Felucia smuggling run which paid very well.

• L3-37 is a ‘self-made’ robot and has a highly independent personality. She’s able to interface with the Falcon computers to greatly boost its performance in hyperspace navigation. Her ‘brain’ started as an R3 astromech brain, but has been heavily upgraded and augmented.

• Tobias Beckett is from Glee Anselm.

• It’s rumored Beckett killed bounty hunter Aurra Sing.

• Dryden Vos is the near-human leader of the Crimson Dawn. He was once an enforcer.

Dryden is a collector of antiquities. He has:

• Large reconstructed Sith Holochron

• Piece of obsidian from a Sith temple with hieroglyphs of Sith warding spells

• Noghri carver set

• Mummified hand of the lost king of Duro

• Ancient Navi computer dataplaque bearing glyphs supposedly pinpointing the lost ship, Queen of Ranroon.  

• Arks that hold the ashes of Chancellor Contispex I

• Rakatan wraith boxes

Coaxium is a form of hypermatter used for lightspeed travel, bridging ‘realspace’ and hyperspace. A hyperdrive is built with a thin coat of Coaxium and operates by energizing it which allows for entry into the dimension of hyperspace. Coaxium originates in the organs of purrgil, space-travelling creatures.

• The Empire is attempting to control as many sources of coaxium as possible.

• Coaxium ore naturally appears on planets near space turbulence. Kessel has a large amount of coaxium ore due to the Maw anomaly.

• Unrefined coaxium is highly volatile.

Locations:

• Corellia is a major shipyard and industrial world, but the benefits are only seen by the super-rich. Most of its citizens live in poverty.

• Kessel is surrounded by a large number of gravity wells, known as the Akkadese Maelstrom. The largest well is known as the Maw. The Kessel Run involves taking a circuitous, but safe, route through the Maelstrom.

• The lodge on Vandor was established by the Ypsobay Trading Company as a settlement hundreds of years prior to the events of Solo.

• Savareen has become a focal point for those in the underworld smuggling minerals from Kessel.

• The refinery there was destroyed by the Crimson Dawn for threatening its interests.

Groups/Organizations:

• The Pyke Gang, based on Oba Diah, runs Kessel. One half of the world given over to mining.

• The syndicate cut a deal with King Yaruba of Kessel.

• Quay Tolsite is the Pyke gang’s representative on Kessel.

• The Rider’s rivals include the Dark Star Helions and Nova Demons.

• The White Worm gang controls the Coronet black market and are led by Lady Proxima, a Grindalid. Her top lieutenant is Moloch, who wants to dispose of Han.

• The Empire is quelling unrest on Mimban, a mining planet, although Han sympathizes with the native Mimbanese. The Mimbanese previously fought alongside Republic Mud-Jumpers to repel the Separatists.

• Mimban has attracted mining operations for decades which has resulted in substantial conflict with the native species.

• The Imperial army is made up of local forces, but is gradually being replaced by the stormtrooper corps.

• Imperial medics use weapons with the justification the oaths only apply to one’s own species (humans essentially).

• Range troopers are trained to be able to operate independent of support or a supply line and are some of the elite in the Imperial military (obviously based off the US Army Rangers).

• CorSec, like other local security agencies, has been subsumed into the Imperial Security Bureau in all but name.

• Vehicles:

• Lando found the Falcon in 12 BBY and saw its potential as a fast ship due to its powerful engines used for hauling or pushing cargo. Over two years he refitted it to match his taste for style.

• The Falcon is equipped with Girodyne SRB42 sublight engines and a Isu-Sim SSP05 hyperdrive.

• The TIE/rb (or TIE Brute) is a more heavily armed and armored as well as equipped with a droid intelligence to help with flight.

• The new walker is an AD/DT or All Terrain Defense Turret and is used for artillery.

• The Cloud-Rider’s carrier ship is named the Aerie.

• Vos’s ship is named First Light.

I made this about a year ago and just realized I never shared it here where people would most appreciate it. I made it using various pieces of information, such as the confirmation that Season 7 and 8 would've been solely four parters (quite reminiscent of Classic Doctor Who, actually). That bit was actually extremely useful, as it allowed me to know how many episodes were in each arc.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SDN-MAg58Y0cUhwLDTSaegQJdxuZ5jjN7L2n4blD1wQ/edit?usp=sharing

According to Rise of the Separatists (FFG sourcebook) and Complete Locations, each Naboo year lasts 312 days and each Naboo day lasts 26 standard hour. Thus each Naboo year lasts 8,112 standard hours, i.e. 338 standard days.

In The Clone Wars S4:E18 – Crisis on Naboo, which takes place shortly after November 25, 21 BBY (Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious), we see the 847th Festival of Light, which celebrates the 847th anniversary of Naboo joining the Republic.

We know that Padmé's coronation takes place in Grizm 34, 835th Year of Kwilaan (Propaganda – A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy), probably shortly after her election. 835th Year of Kwilaan takes place between 834th Festival of Light and 835th Festival of Light, so between 12 and 13 Naboo years before November 25, 21 BBY. Moreover, Padmé's coronation takes place before April 25, 32 BBY (Scum and Villainy – Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious).

Last but not least, each term lasts two years, which I interpreted as two Naboo years (Queen's Shadow).

So, after this introduction and after my own calculations, here's what I found:

• Padmé (1st term): December 33 BBY/April 32 BBY to October 31 BBY/March 30 BBY;
• Padmé (2nd term): October 31 BBY/March 30 BBY to September 29 BBY/January 28 BBY;
• Réillata: September 29 BBY/January 28 BBY to July/November 27 BBY;
• ?: July/November 27 BBY to May/September 25 BBY;
• ?: May/September 25 BBY to March/July 23 BBY;
• Jamillia: March/July 23 BBY to January/June 21 BBY (AOTC takes place in June 22 BBY);
• Neeyutnee: January/June 21 BBY to December 20 BBY/April 19 BBY (fits with Blue Shadow Virus and Crisis on Naboo both taking place in 21 BBY and moreover explains why we see Jamillia in AOTC and Neeyutnee in Blue Shadow Virus);
• Apailana: December 20 BBY/April 19 BBY to October 18 BBY/February 17 BBY (fits with ROTS taking place in March/July 19 BBY and with Apailana becoming Queen towards the end of the Clone Wars).
