    4. The Star Wars Book places the restoration of the Republic to 1,032 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 1032 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. Therefore, the restoration must have occurred in 1032 BBY. Timelines dates the fall of the Republic to 19 BBY.
    5. Star Wars: Timelines establishes the Imperial Era beginning in 19 BBY and continuing through 5 ABY.
    6. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious dates the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala on Coruscant and the carbon-freezing of Han Solo—events that Star Wars: Timelines places in the years 22 BBY and 3 ABY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, respectively—to 7955.442.1 and 7980.421.2 in the Coruscant reckoning calendar, therefore establishing a difference of approximately 7,977 years between the two dating systems.
    7. Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide places the founding of the Galactic Empire in the year 3258 LY of the Lothal Calendar. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to 19 BBY, placing the zero point—the Battle of Yavin—of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system around 3277 LY and therefore establishing a difference of approximately 3,277 years between the two dating systems.
    8. Per Star Wars: The Rebel Files, a calendar existed during the reign of the Galactic Empire the zero point of which was the Empire's founding. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to the year 19 BBY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, therefore establishing a difference of approximately nineteen years between the two dating systems.

    45. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas establishes that the mission to Utapau and the Battle of Utapau took place in 19 BBY. As "A Death on Utapau" establishes that Utapau was not under the control of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the mission, while Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith depicts the planet under CIS occupation by the battle, the invasion of Utapau must have occurred between the two events. Therefore, the invasion also took place in 19 BBY.

    59. A New Dawn states that the Battle of Slag's Pit occurred late in the Clone Wars, and that Skelly, who fell into a coma as a result of the battle, awoke after the Clone Wars had ended. Since the end of the Clone Wars is dated to 19 BBY by Star Wars: Galactic Atlas, the battle likely occurred around that year.

    80. Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide states that Cassian Jeron Andor was arrested for confronting Imperials in 19 BBY. As seen in "Announcement," that attack was preceded by the Rix Road protest of the Imperial Era: as the Galactic Empire is formed in 19 BBY according to Dawn of Rebellion, the protest occurs in 19 BBY by virtue of occurring after the formation of the Empire but before Andor's arrest.

    84. Andor logo new Star Wars: Andor — "Kassa" dates itself to 5 BBY. And "A Certain Point of View" in Star Wars Insider 220 places "Daughter of Ferrix" five years before Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 5 BBY per Star Wars: Timelines. As "One Way Out" takes place between "Kassa" and "Daughter of Ferrix", it must also take place in 5 BBY. Stekan Sculdun is fourteen in this episode, so Sculdun was born around 19 BBY.
