36,453 B.B.Y. (32,800 B.T.C.) Ancient History Galactic Timeline Record #19: Force “Discovered” on Tython “THE FOURTH PRECEPT” Stephen Martiniére Visionaries “What is the Fourth Precept?” “There is no death. There is only the Force.” —The Stark Hyperspace War A surreal amalgamation of images representing FORCE STORM a cosmic struggle between light and dark. I have placed it here as representative of a #1-5 mythological telling of the foundations of the John Ostrander Jedi religion. The origins of the Jedi are being explored for the first time in fiction with the new Dawn of the Jedi series. INTO THE VOID Tim Lebbon 2 THE PRISONER OF BOGAN 25,793 B.B.Y. (22,140 B.T.C.)

B.B.Y., but it seems unlikely that so little time has passed between the death of Gav and Jori’s parents and the main story arc. This date is doubtlessly meant as a rounding off.

Strayton Tales of the Jedi Companion ULIC QEL-DROMA AND THE BEAST WARS OF ONDERON PRECIPICE #1, 2 John Jackson Miller Tom Veitch Knights of the Old Republic Omnibus Volume 1 Concurrent to The Fall of the Sith Empire SKYBORN The ancient Queen Amanoa and King Ommin are both well past seventy (the king is so John Jackson Miller ancient that his bones are softened with age, and he requires a metal exoskeleton structure to move around), and their only heir is an attractive eighteen-year-old daughter. I’m not even going to ask how they managed that one. Concurrent to The Fall of the Sith Empire 4 3999 B.B.Y. (346 B.T.C.) 3998 B.B.Y. (345 B.T.C.) THE FREEDON NADD UPRISING #1, 2 Tom Veitch Omnibus Volume 2 Every time the spirit of Freedon Nadd shows up “in a flash of blue fire,” he looks suspiciously yellow. And Ulic’s skin tone has taken on a decidedly green and dusky hue. Strange things do indeed happen on Onderon. This story is also erroneously dated 3992 B.B.Y. in The Comics Companion. 3997 B.B.Y.

Tom Veitch Knights of the Old Republic Omnibus Volume 1 Different artists are bound to interpret the same characters differently. But Nomi Sunrider manages to go from a slight, plain woman to a glamorous Amazon in just a couple of issues. I checked, and surely enough, the first artist was a woman, the second, a man. (For the record, I preferred the first—one gets tired of the silicone bombshells so popular in today’s graphic novels.) In later issues, she has something of a Linda Hamilton-meets-Geena Davis quality. “JEDI PROTECTOR” Peter Schweighofer The Star Wars Galaxy Magazine #13 “RUINS OF KABUS-DABEH” Peter Schweighofer 5 DARK LORDS OF THE SITH 3994 B.B.Y.

(309 B.T.C.) WAR #1-5 John Jackson Miller For some reason at this point in Dark Horse Comics’ publishing schedule, the series Knights of the Old Republic and Legacy both started with a new numbering slate, each series to be 8 self-contained (not unlike the old Tales of the “CZERKA 431” Jedi). The reasons for this are a little obscure to me, but perhaps even more inexplicable is Sterling Hershey why they should choose to name each reboot arc “War.” “ONDERON CUTOFF” “PERMANENT DEMOTION” Sterling Hershey Sterling Hershey 3960 B.B.Y.

However, as many of the soundtracks are not put in sequence on the albums, and I Drew Karpyshyn am a lover of music, I have put the listing here for those who, like me, wish to listen to their albums “in order,” and particularly in the case of Shadows of the Empire, see how they 1. 1.
