Fall of the Jedi (92 BBY - 19 BBY)
Master & Apprentice
92 - 40 BBY
A significant portion of Dooku: Jedi Lost's story is told in flashbacks. You can stick to the flashbacks by following the instructions below. This list also incorporates flashbacks from the novel Master & Apprentice and episodes of Tales of the Jedi.
FYI- Dooku: Jedi Lost doesn't have "Chapters" but instead has groups of "Scenes" in its table of contents, which is why they are described as such. Also, these flashbacks contain minimal narration by the present-day characters, mostly Dooku & Ventress.
-
Scenes 3-9, 10, and 11-13 (Dooku is 10, which is 92 BBY)
-
Scenes 14-17 starting at minute 8:23 through the end of the chapter and all subsequent chapters until you get to Scenes 30-33, minute 6:26 (Dooku is 13, 89 BBY).
-
Scenes 34-37 starting at minute 9:01 through the end of the chapter and all subseuqent chapters until you get to Scenes 46-49, minute 10:18 (Dooku is 18, 84 BBY)

-
Continue Dooku: Jedi Lost where we left off, at Scenes 72-81, minute 7:50, and continue until you get to Scenes 82-87, minute (8:37).
-
MASTER & APPRENTICE INTERLUDE: Listen to the 4th and 5th flashbacks in this book, which take place at: a) Chapter 16, minute 11:58 up through Chapter 16, minute 17:20; and b) Chapter 24, minute 14:26 through the end of the chapter.
-
Continue Dooku: Jedi Lost where we left off, at Scenes 82-87, minute 8:37, and continue until you get to Scenes 96-98, minute 7:56.
-
MASTER & APPRENTICE: Listen to the 6th and 7th flashbacks in this book, which take place at: a) Chapter 27, minute 15:38 through the end of the chapter; and b) Chapter 35, minute 23:34 through the end of the chapter. This concludes the M&A flashback scenes.
-
Watch Tales of the Jedi: Season 1, Episode 2: Justice
-
Watch Tales of the Jedi: Season 1, Episode 3: Choices
-
Skipping over some of the present-day story, we pick up Dooku: Jedi Lost at Scenes 99-101 starting at minute 4:59 through the end of the chapter and all subsequent chapters until you get to Scenes 126-128, minute 5:28. That concludes the flashback portions of both Dooku: Jedi Lost and Master & Apprentice.
60 - 40-ish BBY
Tales of the Underworld: Episodes 4-6
50-35-ish BBY
42 BBY
The present day story line of the Tarkin novel takes place in 14 BBY, when Tarkin is 50, but there are flashbacks that cover Tarkin's early years. In this section, we'll cover Tarkin's childhood through his early 20s - which is somewhere between 60 - 40 BBY, by listening to the following portions of the audiobook:
-
Chapter 4 (entire chapter);
-
Chapter 5; minute 8:30 through the end of the chapter; and
-
Chapter 6; minute 8:56 through 29:39.
Around this same time, Cad Bane's early life is unfolding in Episodes 4 - 6 of Tales of the Underworld. According to Wookieepedia, Bane was born in 62 BBY. Assuming Duros age similarly to humans, my best guess is that puts Episode 4 somewhere around 50 BBY, Episode 5 around 40 BBY and Episode 6 around 35 BBY. So the last two can be watched contemporaneously with the Chapter 2 of Queen's Hope as well, which serves as the book's introduction. Set approximately 20 years before the present-day events of the book, Chapter 2 provides a glimpse into the life of Shmi Skywalker.
Master & Apprentice
40 BBY
As we just covered the flashbacks, here is how you can just stick to the present-day story being told in 40 BBY...
-
Chapter 1, minute 0:00, through Chapter 6, minute 13:10.
-
Chapter 7, minute 0:00, through Chapter 9, minute 14:52.
-
Chapter 10, minute 0:00, through Chapter 10, minute 2:09.
-
Chapter 10, minute 4:18, through Chapter 16, minute 11:58
-
Chapter 16, minute 17:20, through Chapter 24, minute 14:26.
-
Chapter 25, minute 0:00, through Chapter 27, minute 15:38.
-
Chapter 28, minute 0:00, through Chapter 35, minute 23.34.
-
Chapter 36, minute 0:00, through the end of Chapter 39.
NOTE: Save the last chapter (No. 40) for the Queen's Peril / Episode 1 Mashup found below.
36-35 BBY
34 BBY
Watch Episode 1, of Tales of the Jedi: Life and Death contemporaneously with another flashback from the Tarkin. In this section, Tarkin is 30 years old and he is discussing his future with Senator Palpatine. Listen to Chapter 9, minute 9:26 through 16:26.

You can move on to The Queen's Peril while still reading the Maul comics, just make sure to finish them before you reach Chapter 17, which is where Episode 1 begins.
32 BBY
For the most part, we're going to go back and forth between the Queen's Peril and Phantom Menance but keep an eye out for Chapter 40 of Master & Apprentice mentioned above, an episode of Tales of the Jedi, as well as the Preface from Queen's Shadow.

29 BBY
Age of Republic: Obi-Wan Kenobi
30 - 29 BBY
28 BBY
The prologue and epilogue of Life Debt are flashbacks prior to the Clone Wars. Listen to these sections contemporaneously with Age of Republic: Obi-Wan Kenobi. Then move on to the five-issue miniseries, Obi-Wan & Anakin, which can be read contemporaneously with Queen's Shadow.
We covered the Preface of Queen's Shadow earlier so we can skip that now and just listen to the rest of the book in its entirety.
Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising (Memories)
Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil
Exact Placement Unknown
There are "memory" chapters in both of these books that intertwine with each other. They are split up into two main sections that are spaced apart from one another: 1) Thrawn's academy years; and 2) His early military career. At this point we're only going to cover the academy years. Here is how it goes:
-
Chaos Rising: 1st & 2nd Memory Chapters
-
Lesser Evil: 1st Memory Chapter
-
Chaos Rising: 3rd Memory Chapter
-
Lesser Evil: 2nd Memory Chapter
-
Chaos Rising: 4th Memory Chapter
Exact Placement Unknown
Read through these comics contemporaneously with Dooku: Jedi Lost. We covered the flashbacks earlier, which makes up the majority of the book. Now, we're going to focus on the present-day story, which takes place sometime before Episode II, exactly when I cannot say. Here are the instructions for sticking with the present-day story.
-
Scenes 1-2, minute 0:00 through end of chapter.
-
Scenes 14-17, minute 0:00 through 8:23.
-
Scenes 30-33, minute 6:26 through end of chapter then continue with Scenes 34-37 up through minute 9:01.
-
Scenes 46-49, minute 10:18 through end of chapter.
-
Scenes 96-98, minute 8:29 through end of chapter then continue with Scenes 99-101 up through minute 4:59.
-
Scenes 126-128, minute 5:28 through the end of the book.
Tarkin
23-ish BBY
The present day story line of this novel takes place in 14 BBY, when Tarkin is 50, but there are flashbacks that cover Tarkin's early years. In this section, we'll cover a period of time right before the events of Attack of the Clones by listening to the following:
-
Chapter 9, minute 22:26 through 33:50; and
-
Chapter 11, minute 0:00 through 6:32
Jedi of the Republic - Mace Windu
22 BBY
Following Queen' Peril and Queen's Shadow, the Queen's Hope is the 3rd installment from E.K. Johnston that centers around Padme and her handmaidens. You can start this immediately after Attack of the Clones. You can listen to this contemporaneously with the five-issue miniseries, Mace Windu: Jedi of the Republic.
Clone Wars 2D Micro-Series: Volume 1
22 BBY
While this series has been regulated to Legends material, it still contains two important moments that are worth watching: 1) General Grievous' introduction; and 2) Anakin's promotion to Jedi Knight. To watch just those moments, you can watch Volume 1 starting at minute 1:03:24 through Volume 2, stopping at minute 12:47. Stop there regardless as we'll pick up with the rest of Volume 2 later in the timeline. If you choose to watch all of Volume 1, be aware that the events involving Ventress do not line up with the Canon established in Dooku: Jedi Lost.
Age of Republic: General Grievous
22 BBY
While Anakin is now a Jedi, he does not have a Padawan yet, which means you should finish Brotherhood before starting the Clone Wars series below. Listen to the book contemporaneously with the Age of Republic: General Grievous.
The Clone Wars: Season 1 & Movie
Age of Republic: Anakin Skywalker
22 BBY
While I'm splitting the Clone Wars into Seasons, it's going to get a bit wonky. The first 3 seasons of the series jumps around a lot chronologically. And of course the movie is included as well. I'll lay everything out episode-by-episode below. First note that the comic, Age of Republic: Anakin Skywalker, should be read after you finish Brotherhood but before you reach Ahsoka's introduction in the Clone Wars movie.
Here is the chronological order to the first season of the Clone Wars. It starts with Season 2, Episode 16: Cat and Mouse.
1) 216 Cat and Mouse
2) 116 Hidden Enemy
MOVIE: The Clone Wars
3) 301 Clone Cadets
4) 303 Supply Lines
5) 101 Ambush
6) 102 Rising Malevolence
7) 103 Shadow of Malevolence
8) 104 Destroy Malevolence
9) 105 Rookies
10) 106 Downfall of a Droid
11) 107 Duel of the Droids

21) 118 Mystery of a Thousand Moons
22) 119 Storm over Ryloth
23) 120 Innocents of Ryloth
24) 121 Liberty on Ryloth
BATTLEFRONT II INSTANT ACTION: Play the Naboo map contemporaneously with episodes 117 - 118 of the Clone Wars.
Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising (Memories)
Thrawn Ascendancy: Lesser Evil
21 BBY
Watch Season 2 of the Clone Wars contemporaneously with the " Memory" chapters of these two Thrawn novels, which intertwine with each other. They are split up into two main sections that are spaced apart from one another: 1) Thrawn's academy years; and 2) His early military career. We covered the academy years earlier prior to Attack of the Clones. This is a good place to listen to the early military career portion as you make your way through the early seasons of the Clone Wars. Here is how it goes:
-
Chaos Rising: 5th through 8th Memory Chapters
-
Lesser Evil: 3rd and 4th Memory Chapters
-
Chaos Rising: 9th through 13th Memory Chapters
-
Lesser Evil: 5th through 12th Memory Chapters
And here is the chronological order for the second season of the Clone Wars:
25) 201 Holocron Heist
26) 202 Cargo of Doom
27) 203 Children of the Force
28) 217 Bounty Hunters
29) 218 The Zillo Beast
30) 219 The Zillo Beast Strikes Back
31) 204 Senate Spy
32) 205 Landing at Point Rain
33) 206 Weapons Factory
34) 207 Legacy of Terror
35) 208 Brain Invaders
36) 209 Grievous Intrigue
37) 210 The Deserter
38) 211 Lightsaber Lost
39) 212 The Mandalore Plot
40) 213 Voyage of Temptation
41) 214 Duchess of Mandalore
42) 220 Death Trap
43) 221 R2 Come Home
44) 222 Lethal Trackdown
BATTLEFRONT II INSTANT ACTION: Play the Geonosis map contemporaneously with episodes 205 - 206 of the Clone Wars.
21 - 19 BBY
The Rogue One companion novel, Catalyst begins over a year after Attack of the Clones and then it takes you up to and beyond Revenge of the Sith. For that reason, it is best to break this one up. You can start the book anytime after Season 3, Episode 20 of The Clone Wars and then you will want to stop after completing Chapter 11. We'll pick up from there later on.
And here is the chronological order for the third season of the Clone Wars:
45) 305 Corruption
46) 306 The Academy
47) 307 Assassin
48) 302 ARC Troopers
49) 304 Sphere of Influence
50) 308 Evil Plans
51) 122 Hostage Crisis
52) 309 Hunt for Ziro
53) 310 Heroes on Both Side
54) 311 Pursuit of Peace
55) 215 Senate Murders
56) 312 Nightsisters
57) 313 Monster
58) 314 Witches of the Mist
59) 315 Overlords
60) 316 Altar of Mortis
61) 317 Ghosts of Mortis
62) 318 The Citadel
63) 319 Counter Attack
64) 320 Citadel Rescue
65) 321 Padawan Lost
66) 322 Wookiee Hunt
BATTLEFRONT II INSTANT ACTION: Play the Kamino map contemporaneously with episode 302 of the Clone Wars.
Tales of the Empire: Episode 1: The Path of Fear
20 BBY
Watch Episode 1 of Tales of the Empire immediately after The Clone Wars, Season 4, Episode 19: Massacre. At this point, the Clone Wars stops jumping around and you can watch the entire Season 4 in its normal order. Do so while listening to the Fyzen Gor Flashbacks in Last Shot.
Continuity Check: Last Shot contains the biggest continuity blunder since Disney took over the franchise as it is shockingly careless with its dates. For example, when taken at face value, you'd have a flashback with Lando and L3 flying the Millennium Falcon at 8 BBY, which is two years after Solo: A Star Wars Story and thus an impossibility based on the events in the film. A simple fix, and most likely how they screwed this up, is to change "15 years ago" to mean "15 BBY." That would put Lando's flashback to be years before Solo and it would put Han's flashback to be shortly after the events of Solo, which would fix another continuity error that relates to Han's age. With that problem solved, let's move on...
This book doesn't have chapter numbers but the chapter titles are very descriptive making it easy to find everything. First we'll do Fyzen's story, which consists of 4 chapters. However, we are only going through 2 of those right now for chronological purposes:
Part I: Utapu, About Twenty Years Ago
Part II: Utapu, About Twenty Years Ago
Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising
Thrawn: Alliances (Clone Wars Era)
19 BBY
Again, all Clone Wars seasons going forward can be watched in their normal order. Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir picks up immediately after the events in Clone Wars Season 5, Episode 16: The Lawless, which ended on such a cliffhanger and was never addressed before the series was cancelled. As a result, the beginning of this comic serves as a vital component of Maul's story.
Continuity Check: The end of this comic series directly conflicts with an episode in "The Lost Season" of the Clone Wars, specifically Season 6, Episode 9: The Disappeared Part 2.
We did all the Memories chapters of Chaos Rising earlier, so at this point we will just focus on the present day story chapters, which you just do in order until you get to the point where it intersects with the Clone Wars Era of Thrawn: Alliances.
Thrawn: Alliances runs between two main story-lines: a present day story set during the Rebels series, and a flashback story set sometime after Season 5 Episode 20 of the The Clone Wars: The Wrong Jedi. So while you can start Chaos Rising a little earlier in the Clone Wars, you definitely want to watch The Wrong Jedi before you get to Chapter 17 as that is where Thrawn: Alliances comes into play. Here is how it goes...
-
Listen to Chaos Rising until you get to Chapter 17, 10:56.
-
Listen to Thrawn: Alliances' 2nd Prologue (there are two).
-
Listen Thrawn: Alliances Chapter 5, 0:00 - 27:50.
-
Listen Thrawn: Alliances Chapter 7 (entire chapter).
-
Listen to Chaos Rising where we left off and finish Chapter 18.
-
Listen Thrawn: Alliances Chapter 2.
-
Listen Thrawn: Alliances Chapter Chapter 4.
-
Listen Thrawn: Alliances Chapter 5 starting at minute 27:51 and continue through the end of Chapter 6.
-
Listen to following chapters of Thrawn: Alliances in their entirety: 10-11, 14-15, 18-19 and the 1st Epilogue.
-
Pick up Chaos Rising where we left off at Chapter 19 and finish the book.
Tales of the Underworld; Episode 1
19 BBY
Based on unfinished episodes of The Clone Wars series, this Dark Disciple is shockingly intense with emotion and action. Listen to the book concurrently with Season 6 of The Clone Wars. Once you finish the book, immediately watch the introduction (0:00 - 3:50) to Episode 1 of the Tales of the Underworld.
19 BBY
Listen to Chapter 12 of Catalyst in its entirety concurrently with the beginning of Season 7 of the Clone Wars. Specifically, episodes 1 -8. Do not start episode 9 until you get to the Revenge of the Sith mashup.
Clone Wars: Season 2 (2004-2005)
19 BBY
We suggested this Legends series earlier, which took us through Volume 2; minute 0:00 - 12:47. So you could pick this up at minute 12:47 (Disney+ should remember where you left off) and watch until the end. The story leads right up through Grievous kidnapping Chancellor Palpatine on Coruscant so its a direct lead-in to Revenge of the Sith.
Continuity Check: Clone Wars Season 7 contradicts this Legends material by changing everything about Obi-Wan and Anakin's final mission before leaving to rescue the Chancellor. My recommendation is to skip over all of the parts with Anakin & Obi-Wan's mission and just watch the Battle of Coruscant and capture of Palpatine.
The Clone Wars: Season 7, Episodes 9-12
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
19 BBY
The fun really starts here with Clone Wars Season 7 Episode 9, Old Friends Not Forgotten, and you feel it from the moment you see the old school Lucasfilm logo all the way through the end of the credits.
From there, we have a mashup of Revenge of the Sith the film, Revenge of the Sith the novel, the remaining episodes of The Clone Wars, the beginning of Bad Batch, and a quick comic interlude. Enjoy!
