There's nothing else in Solo that specifically ties it to a particular year, but three canon novels can help narrow down where the movie fits on the official timeline. So, Solo has to have taken place sometime between 19 BBY and 2 BBY. In Rebels, he actually confronts Obi-Wan on Tatooine after running across the titular protagonists on a planet called Malachor, and that occurs in 2 BBY. The former, which takes place between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, reintroduces Maul and explains how he survived bisection. Most people only know Darth Maul from The Phantom Menace, but the villain subsequently popped up on both of the canonical Star Wars animated TV shows, The Clone Wars and Rebels. (He's now known as Maul, though, as he is no longer one of the two living Sith Lords.) He tells Qi'ra to meet him on Dathomir, and that helps make the timeline of Solo a bit less confusing, even as it makes Qi'ra's character arc much more confusing. The only gasp-inducing moment in Solo arrives when Qi'ra contacts the leader of the Crimson Dawn crime syndicate and it is revealed to be Darth Maul, the red-faced double-lightsaber-wielding Darth Sidious associate who, in The Phantom Menace, is sliced in half and presumably killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Got it?įurthermore, Solo must come after Revenge of the Sith (set 19 years - Luke's age in Star Wars - before the Battle of Yavin), because the Empire is in power and attacking worlds in its post-prequel way, and before Rogue One (which ends with Leia receiving the Death Star plans), because that's part of the culturally agreed-upon premise of a Han Solo origin story. For instance, The Empire Strikes Back takes place three years after Star Wars, and is therefore 3 ABY The Phantom Menace takes place 32 years before the Death Star is destroyed, or 32 BBY.

All other events are pegged as either BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) or ABY (After the Battle of Yavin).

In the 1977 classic, Luke Skywalker blows up the Death Star with the help of Han Solo and Princess Leia, and, in the Star Wars canon, that Force-guided feat caps off the Battle of Yavin (named after Yavin 4, the moon where the Rebel base was located) and marks Year 0 in the series timeline. Next, we can establish dates for these movies in relation to the action in the original Star Wars.
