Now thatJedi: Survivorhas come out, those who enjoyedFallen Ordercan see how Respawn Entertainment has followed up on Cal Kestis’s story. But if you consider yourself a diehardStar Warsfan, you might want to know howJedi: Survivorfits into the overall chronology of the series. With so many mainline movies, spinoffs, and other extended material, theStar Warstimeline has inevitably become a bit of a tangled nightmare for those unfamiliar with it. Of course, this shouldn’t deter fans from wanting to knowJedi: Survivor’splace in the timeline, so go ahead and read further to find out.
Jedi: Survivor’stimeline placement
In terms of its relation toFallen Order,Jedi: Survivorsets its story five years after that title’s events. Specifically,Jedi: Survivor’sstory takes place in the year 9 BBY, whereasFallen Orderoccurs in the year 14 BBY. For those wondering what BBY means, it stands for Before the Battle of Yavin, which refers to the final Death Star battle inA New Hope. Think of it as theStar Warsversion of the real world’s BC or BCE.
This means thatJedi: Survivortakes place well before the original movie trilogy, but where does it stand in relation to the prequels? Well,Revenge of the Sith, the third movie in the prequel trilogy, occurs in 19 BBY, five years beforeFallen Orderand a full decade beforeJedi: Survivor.
If you want to go even deeper into the timeline,Jedi: Survivoroccurs during the same year as the Daiyu mission in theObi-Wan KenobiTV series, where the titular character goes to save Princess Leia. Additionally, the game is set one year after theSolo: A Star Wars Storyfilm and four years before theAndorTV series. So plenty of other consequential events occurred in the galaxy around the time thatJedi: Survivor’sevents transpire.
