Timeline placements for Tales stories

I need these. Anyone got a list? Preferably up to the latest issue.

It'd also be good to have a note as to which volume of the TPB each story can be found in, for those that have been collected thus far.

 

I've got all the TPBs published so far but it's getting a bit late here in the UK to drag them out tonight. If no one else posts a list I can put one up tomorrow (or fill in any missing ones).

 

Might as well ready those TPBs, LAJ...

I think the final TPB is due out next year.

 

Thanks, LAJ.

Now, does anyone have timeline placements for each of these stories? Mav?

 

Do you need time placements for the obviously non-canon stories? If I get this essay done sometime soon, I'll see if I can't list the timing of as many of the canon stoies as possible.

 

Well, unless a story is obviously Inifnities, I consider all the rest to be canon, whether they've been referenced in other sources or not. Any help is to be appreciated.

 

There are really no dates attached to a lot of these. However Skippy the Jedi Droid would have been when Luke & Owen purchased the droids in ANH.

Rather Darkness Visible states in the title that it is 15 months after Geonosis.

Revenants takes place a few months after Chewie's death. (Stated in the story).

The Way of the Warrior is one year prior to Geonosis. (Stated in the story).

Dark Journey takes place 'during the Clone Wars' and refers to 'the newly formed Republican Army'. (Story statements)

All For You is set 1000 years before Endor. (Story lead-in).

Hunger Pangs takes place when Luke is captured by the Wampa on Hoth. (Story line).

Problem Solvers takes place 'months after the Battle of Endor'. (Story lead-in).


All of these are in Volume 5 as I had it handy. If I get a chance tomorrow I will go through another volume or two.

 

From what I recall, and what I was able to find:

33 BBY: Deal with a Demon; Life, Death, and the Living Force
32 BBY: The Death of Captain Tarpals (just before TPM)
31 BBY: Incident at Horn Station
5 BBY: Routine
1 BBY: Extinction
0 BBY: Skippy the Jedi Droid (during ANH), Sand Blasted (shortly after ANH)
1 ABY: Lady Luck
3 ABY: Hoth (I'm guessing); Thank the Maker (during ESB); Fortune, Fate, and the Natural History of the Sarlacc (might be a bit later, sometime during the SOTE timeframe);
4 ABY: Stop That Jawa (sometime before ROTJ); Mara Jade: A Night on the Town (probably a month or so after Endor); Three Against the Galaxy (sometime after the Tatooine scene of ROTJ)

Approximations:

The Hidden: Sometime between 19 BBY and 3 ABY
Jedi Chef: Sometime (shortly) before 33 BBY
Outbid but Never Outgunned: Between 18 and 12 BBY

Do you want dates for later Tales stories (the canon ones)?

 

Hope that helps! Some of them are, of course, conjecture, or guesses.

Tale

 

You're a wild man, Mav.

 

You're the man, Mav. Exactly the sort've comprehensiveness that I required. Now, coupled with LAJ's list, I can find the stories in the correct TPB and continue my EU absorbing.

 

My pleasure.

 

According to the NEGtC, the Dark Woman died shortly before the Battle of Yavin. So that would probably put her death in the same year as the battle.
