Where Does the Movie Solo Fit In The Star Wars Timeline? The movie takes place between 10 and 13 years before A New Hope. That leaves a large gap for future Han Solo stories. The movie also explores three years of Han’s life before his adventure with Luke. What are the consequences of Solo’s placement in the Star Wars timeline? This article explores these questions and more. The end result is a better understanding of where Solo fits in the Star Wars timeline.

Han Solo

The time period in which Solo takes place is uncertain. The movie takes place between Episode III and Episode IV (A New Hope). However, the Star Wars novels Tarkin and A New Dawn tie the events in the movie to the timeline in which the events took place. As such, it is likely that Solo takes place in the years between 13 BBY and 10 BBY. But, how does Han Solo fit in the Star Wars timeline?

Luke Skywalker

So where does Luke Skywalker’s solo movie fit into the Star Wars timeline? The movie will take place five years after the end of Return of the Jedi, the third film in the original trilogy. That’s about the time when Skywalker defeats Emperor Palpatine and destroys the second Death Star. The film’s date is 9 ABY, which stands for nine years “After the Battle of Yavin,” the iconic space battle from A New Hope.

Jyn Erso

Where does Jyn Erso’s solo film fit in the Star Wars timeline? The film is set in the civil war against the Galactic Empire. Jyn’s father, Galen Erso, is taken away by the Empire and becomes the lead engineer for the Death Star, which is designed to destroy planets. Jyn joins the resistance and tracks down her father to learn more about the plans for the Death Star. She learns about the plan too late.

Darth Maul

Where does Darth Maul’s solo movie fit in the Star Wars timeline? The first question that may come to your mind is whether or not Maul has ever been featured in a Star Wars movie. Maul is a member of the Shadow Collective and rose to the ranks of the Crimson Dawn, but was left behind on the Sith World of Malachor. Though he had been stranded on Malachor, Maul continued to spread trouble on the Rebels.

Obi-Wan Kenobi

In an effort to keep things simple and uncomplicated, let’s look at how Obi-Wan Kenobi’s story fits into the larger “Star Wars” timeline. His story takes place nine years before ‘A New Hope,’ and one year before ‘Solo: A Star Wars Story.’ It’s unlikely that Obi-Wan and Han Solo will ever meet, and we’ll get to see more of his backstory in the upcoming film.

Revenge of the Sith

When placing the new movie Solo in the Star Wars timeline, fans need to consider the timeline of the other films in the trilogy, including A New Hope. While the movie is set before Rogue One, which takes place just a year after the original movie, it is still a couple of years before A New Hope. This is important because the book Han Solo reads is more than a decade younger than his Star Wars debut. Likewise, the new film will take place between Tarkin and Thrawn, two other Star Wars villains.

Empire Strikes Back

There are several reasons to watch the first three Star Wars movies in chronological order. The prequels are awful, the new trilogy is confusing, and the Clone Wars movies are random. Not to mention that chronological order of the Star Wars films misses one of the most pivotal cinematic revelations. This article will outline the best order for you to watch the first four movies in the Star Wars timeline.

The Last Jedi

How does The Last Jedi solo fit in the Star Wars timeline? Though there are no dates provided, it is clear that the story takes place sometime after the original trilogy. There are also some differences between the films’ timelines, but it’s hard to pinpoint one over the other. This article will attempt to give a general idea of where The Last Jedi solo fits in the timeline. We’ll also discuss whether it’s best to watch the movie in order.
