Age of Rebellion (5 BBY - 4 ABY)
5 BBY
Watch the first season of this show contemporaneously with the beginning of the Thrawn novel found directly below.
8-4 BBY
I know there are different opinions on this but the best I can figure, Chapters 1-11 occur in approximately 8-6 BBY. Chapters 12 - 19 occur in approximately 5-4 BBY. Stop here. You are now ready to begin watching Rebels. We'll pick up with the rest of the book during Season 2.

5-0 BBY
Watch contemporaneously with the entries below. Each entry will detail when it should be watched in relation to Rebels.
Chapter 1
6BBY
The majority of this book takes place in 3 ABY. However, there are four Flashback Chapters involving the main character, Namir (NOTE: he goes by different names before he joins the rebellion). For now, just read Chapter 1, which is the first flashback. We'll pick back up with this one soon. Listen to contemporaneously with Season 1 of Rebels.
Chapter 1-6
6 - 4 BBY
We left off with the Prologue so now we'll pick up with Chapters 1-6, which can be listened to concurrently with the 1st Season of Rebels.
6-5 BBY
We covered Chapters 1-10 earlier so now we pick up at Chapter 11 and continue through the end of Chapter 24. Listen to concurrently with Rebels Season 1.
4-3 BBY
This book can also be listened to concurrently with Rebels Season 1 as well as the beginning of Season 2. You just want to make sure you finish before you get to Season 2, Episode 12: A Princess on Lothal.
Chapter 7
4BBY
The majority of this book takes place in 3 ABY. However, there are four Flashback Chapters involving the main character, Namir (NOTE: he goes by different names before he joins the rebellion). For right now, just listen to Chapter 7, which is a flashback that occurs in 4 BBY.
5-2 BBY
We covered Chapters 1-19 earlier so now we'll pick up at Chapter 20 and finish the book concurrently with Rebels Season 2. Be sure to finish before you get to Rebels Season 3.
5-3 BBY
We left off at the end of Chapter 23 so now we'll pick up with Chapter 24 and continue through the end of Chapter 42. Remember to skip over "Month #4" as we'll do all the month chapters just before Rogue One.
Listen to this section concurrently with Seasons 3 of Rebels. For continuity purposes, make sure you get through Chapter 34 before you watch Season 3, Episodes 12 and 13: Ghosts of Geonosis Parts 1 & 2.
(Empire Era)
2-1 BBY
We covered the Clone Wars Era of this book earlier in the marathon. So now we only have to focus on the other half, which is good because you want to try to squeeze this one in by starting it after the end of Rebels Season 3 and finish before Season 4, Episode 6: Flight of the Defender.
To stick with just the Empire Era of this book, listen to the First Prologue and then Chapters 1, 3, 8-9, 12-13, 16-17, 20 and then the Second Epilogue.
1-0 BBY
Rebels Season 4, Episode 10: Jedi Night is so emotional that you may need to step away from your TV for a while after watching it. Fortunately, that is exactly where Thrawn Treason picks up (technically the novel begins mid-way through Jedi Night, after Thrawn speaks with Tarkin, but you can't stop watching that episode). You'll need to finish the book before Thrawn's appearance in the Rebels Series Finale, Episode 15: Family Reunion and Farewell.
Chapter 7 & Chapter 8 (5:23)
2-1 BBY
Here we'll do Chapter 7 and up to minute 5:23 in Chapter 8 of Lost Stars after you finish Treason & Rebels but before you move on to Rebel Rising. Note that our next Lost Stars entry will be within the From A Certain Point of View entry.
Chapter 21
0 BBY
The majority of this book takes place in 3 ABY. However, there are four Flashback Chapters involving the main character, Namir (NOTE: he goes by different names before he joins the rebellion). For right now, just listen to Chapter 21, which is a flashback that occurs in 0 BBY.
Chapter 43 - End of Book
3-0 BBY
Here we pick up Rebel Rising at the beginning of Chapter 43, listen through the end of Chapter 46, then go back and do all the "Month" chapters (1-6).
The Epilogue is an alternative take on Jyn's meeting with Mon Mothma and Rebel Command at the beginning of Rogue One. So if you want, you can watch up until that part of the movie, pause it, listen to the epilogue, and then continue on with...

These comics and audiobook weave together to provide a fun overarching story. The Dr. Aphra book starts with Darth Vader #3 and runs all the way through Darth Vader #25. While the comics & book each bring something different to the table, there are many times when you can listen to the book and read the comics at the same time. Note that there is pause in the book after the end of Star Wars #19 and then it picks back up with Darth Vader #21. Here is the order to follow going by their issue number:
Star Wars 1-3
Darth Vader 1
Star Wars 4
Star Wars Annual 1
Darth Vader 2-4
Star Wars 5
Darth Vader 5
Star Wars 6
Darth Vader 6
Star Wars 8 - 12
Darth Vader 7-12
Darth Vader Annual 1
Vader Down
Star Wars 13
Darth Vader 14
Star Wars 14
Darth Vader 15
Star Wars 16 - 19
Darth Vader 16 - 25
The Darth Vader series ends here but the Star Wars series continues on and weaves together with the Dr. Aphra comics, which you can read concurrently with the entries below, but this is our last reference to them (for now). Check out Wookieepedia for the complete timeline of cannon comics.

This is a companion novel to 2017's Battlefront II campaign mode, which will be featured later in our marathon. We included the first chapter in this book at the end of the A New Hope Mashup. So from here you can pick up with Chapter 2 and listen to it concurrently with Star Wars/Dr. Aphra comics. .

3-4 ABY
This TV show may be geared towards the little ones, but it has plenty of humor for the adults. And while not considered Canon, its story ties in heavily to some of the most important events in Empire and Return of the Jedi. For now, watch episodes 1-3 prior to watching The Empire Strikes Back, contemporaneously with the novels above and below.
6 BBY - 3 ABY
Skip over the flashbacks we did previously (Chapters 1 and 7) and listen to Chapters 2 - 6 and 8 - 12, up until minute 31:18 of Chapter 12. Then we're ready to start watching The Empire Strikes Back.
