There’s a full breakdown of Maul’s timeline here, but the Cliff’s Notes version is that in the 19 years between Episode III and IV, Maul lives and continues to be player in the galactic war between good and evil. Maul even told Qi’Ra to find him on Dathomir at the end of the film, which has likely become the headquarters of the Crimson Dawn. The Witches of Dathomir restored him and gave him mechanical legs, which you could see in his hologram. He was rescued, however, during the television series The Clone Wars. Here’s where the film timeline collides with the television timeline:Īccording to film timeline, Maul died on Naboo at the end of Episode I. Audiences may be wondering how any of Solo could take place so long after The Phantom Menace, because that’s when Obi-Wan killed Darth Maul. ![]() There’s also one more element to consider - the final cameo of the film - Darth Maul. Darth Maul Maul's appearance in 'Star Wars Rebels'. That means that Solo takes place just 10 years before Rogue One as well. Rogue One directly set up the events of A New Hope, down to the final seconds of Rebel Alliance soldiers handing Princess Leia the Death Star plans. Rogue One The Death Star orbits the moon of Jedha.Īnd what about Rogue One? The first edition in the Star Wars anthology films was Rogue One. Although Han did say he was on his way there, at the end of the film, so he could work for Jabba for a number of years before he goes on the run.

So, in the 19 years between Episode III and Episode IV, Han and Qi’Ra tried to escape six years after Sith, then Han meets Chewie, and Lando, and reunites with Qi’Ra nine years after Sith. That took place 19 years before A New Hope, during the events of Revenge of the Sith. What about the Clone Wars and fall of the Republic? Chewbacca fought alongside Jedi Master Yoda during the Clone Wars and during the execution of Order 66. ![]() Between Sith and Hope Han Solo and Chewbacca in 'Star Wars: A New Hope.' That means he was 187 when Han and Qi’Ra first tried leave Corellia, which places the opening moments of Solo 13 years before A New Hope. So, Chewie is 190 when he meets Han Solo. How do we know that Chewie is 200 in A New Hope? The fine folks here at FANDOM’s Wookieepedia community cite two different sources for Chewie’s age: Star Wars Card Trader and Star Wars Rebels Visual Guide. When Chewie tells Han that he’s 190 years old, that tells us that Solo takes place roughly 10 years prior to A New Hope, since he was 200 years old in that film. Our best clue that explains the time period of Solo comes from Chewbacca. Chewbacca’s Age How old is the most famous Wookiee of all time? ![]() So, where does Solo: A Star Wars Story fit into the timeline? Let’s take a look at the clues provided by the film.
