- ↑ "Rescue on Ryloth" reveals that the Ryloth Insurgency began in the early Imperial Era, while Aftermath: Life Debt reveals it did not end until 5 ABY per Star Wars: Timelines.
- ↑ Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of "Brain Invaders," in which the second occupation of Geonosis starts, to 21 BBY. Dawn of Rebellion specifies that the Empire continued to hold its presence on Geonosis until the sterilization of Geonosis, which is dated to circa 9 BBY by Star Wars: Timelines.

Therefore, all Season 2 episodes proceeding "The Clone Conspiracy" occur between 19 BBY, which features the end of The Bad Batch Season 1 according to Star Wars: Timelines, and 18 BBY. The Galactic Empire, the formation of which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY, sent Mayday's squad to Barton IV over a year prior to the events of the twelfth episode, "The Outpost." As it occurs over a year into the Imperial Era and is set shortly after the events of "Truth and Consequences," the events of "The Outpost" occur around 18 BBY. Following that logic, the ninth through eleventh episodes ("The Crossing" through "Metamorphosis") are also set around 18 BBY because they occur between the events of "Truth and Consequences" and "The Outpost." Finally, all season 2 episodes set after "The Outpost" occur shortly after its events, thereby placing those episodes around 18 BBY as well.
- ↑ 11.0 11.1 Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious dates the assassination attempt on Padmé Amidala on Coruscant and the carbon-freezing of Han Solo—events that Star Wars: Timelines places in the years 22 BBY and 3 ABY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, respectively—to 7955.442.1 and 7980.421.2 in the Coruscant reckoning calendar, therefore establishing a difference of approximately 7,977 years between the two dating systems.
- ↑ 12.0 12.1 Star Wars Rebels: The Visual Guide places the founding of the Galactic Empire in the year 3258 LY of the Lothal Calendar. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to 19 BBY, placing the zero point—the Battle of Yavin—of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system around 3277 LY and therefore establishing a difference of approximately 3,277 years between the two dating systems.
- ↑ 13.0 13.1 Per Star Wars: The Rebel Files, a calendar existed during the reign of the Galactic Empire the zero point of which was the Empire's founding. Star Wars: Timelines dates the proclamation of the New Order to the year 19 BBY of the 'ABY-BBY' dating system, therefore establishing a difference of approximately nineteen years between the two dating systems.
- ↑ Star Wars: Galactic Atlas
- ↑ "Rix Road" Trivia Gallery | Andor on StarWars.com (backup link) (Slide 2) dates Clem Andor's death to 7959 C.R.C. Star Wars: Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious dates the secret mission to Tatooine to 7977 C.R.C., which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to 0 BBY, therefore it can be concluded that 7977 C.R.C. is equivalent to 0 BBY, and 7959 C.R.C. is equivalent to 18 BBY if the calendars are one-to-one. However, the reference book Star Wars: Dawn of Rebellion: The Visual Guide later established the events surrounding Andor's death occurred in 19 BBY. Indeed, Pablo Hidalgo has stated that the C.R.C and BBY calendars are not one to one here: Pablo Hidalgo (@infinata.bsky.social) on Bluesky: "They would all have different start dates, as two are event-based and one is an arbitary calendar. (In response to: "Hi Pabro. I purchased "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary" yesterday and have enjoyed reading it. Does the fact that the consolation to Rosal is placed at 36 BSI mean that BSI/ASI and BBY/ABY are not just 34 years apart, but have different "Januarys"? Also could this also be said about the C.R.C.?")" (backup link)

The tally marks made by Omega in The Bad Batch Season 3's first episode, "Confined," indicate the episode must take place at least twenty-one standard days following her capture as depicted in the Season 2 episode "Plan 99." According to "Confined" Trivia Guide | Star Wars The Bad Batch on StarWars.com (backup link), Omega spends about 164 further days in captivity by the end of "Confined." As such, the events of Season 3 must begin around 18 BBY.
