Notes and references[]
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 "Shield of the Jedi" establishes that Rooper Nitani is around eighteen years old during its events. During the events of The High Republic: Quest for Planet X, which Star Wars: The High Republic Character Encyclopedia dates to 382 BBY, Nitani is fifteen years old. Therefore, "Shield of the Jedi" must take place around 379 BBY."Shield of the Jedi" also establishes that Nitani became a Padawan ten years before its events, meaning she became a Padawan around 389 BBY.
