- โ Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader's Castle takes place after the Battle of Endor, and Star Wars Adventures: Ghosts of Vader's Castle 2, which takes place after Shadow of Vader's Castle, further establishes that the Galactic Empire still exists, meaning that these comics must be set before the Empire's collapse during the Battle of Jakku. Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates those battles to 4 ABY and 5 ABY respectively, meaning that Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader's Castle and Star Wars Adventures: Ghosts of Vader's Castle must take place at some point between those years.
