    • Two years after it was first introduced, the Senate convenes to vote on the Military Creation Act. However, the vote on the bill is delayed after two failed assassination attempts on Senator Padmé Amidala.
    • For her own protection, Senator Amidala is sent back to Naboo along with Anakin Skywalker. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan Kenobi begins investigating the assassination attempts, with his search eventually leading him to Kamino, where he discovers Sifo-Dyas' clone army for the first time; he subsequently comes to the conclusion that the army's prime clone, Jango Fett, carried out the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala.
    • Anakin returns to his homeworld of Tatooine and meets his stepfather Cliegg Lars, Cliegg's son Owen and Owen's girlfriend Beru for the first time. He also encounters his protocol droid C-3PO for the first time since he departed from Tatooine.
    • Anakin learns from Cliegg that his mother, Shmi, had been kidnapped by a band of Tusken Raiders a month previously. Anakin desperately goes looking for her and eventually finds her in a small Tusken encampment. Unfortunately, Shmi's wounds are too severe, and only moments after Anakin rescues her, she dies in her son's arms. Anakin is overcome with grief and anger and, in a blind fury, massacres the entire encampment.

Shortly afterwards, he is captured by Dooku.
    • After receiving a message from Kenobi revealing that the CIS was marshaling a droid army, the Senate convenes in a special session where Chancellor Palpatine is granted emergency powers, allowing him to pass the Military Creation Act without approval from the Senate. Palpatine uses his newfound powers to formally create the Grand Army of the Republic.
    • Anakin and Padmé, being accompanied by C-3PO and R2-D2, travel to Geonosis in a bid to rescue Obi-Wan, but ultimately end up being captured themselves. The three are slated to be executed in Geonosis' Pentranaki Arena.
    • The First Battle of Geonosis begins when Mace Windu leads a task force of Jedi to rescue Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padmé. In the ensuing clash between the Jedi and the Separatists' battle droids, many Jedi, including High Council member Coleman Trebor, are killed, and Jango Fett is killed as well. When it appears that the Jedi are going to lose the battle, Master Yoda arrives with reinforcements: the clone troopers from Kamino. With the timely arrival of the clones, the battle is won by the Republic, but Dooku escapes.
    • The battle on Geonosis marks the official beginning of the Clone Wars.
    • Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala marry in secret on Naboo.[146]

This places his birth and period of activity at sometime prior to 20,000 BBY, as the first Death Star was destroyed in the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY, according to The Essential Chronology. As established by The Essential Atlas, the period of galactic history between 25,000 BBY and 20,000 BBY is known as the Expansionist Period.

  72. Andur Sunrider leaves H'ratth for Ambria in 3999 BBY per Tales of the Jedi 3. The Tales of the Jedi Companion says that 2 years prior (4001 BBY), Andur went to H'ratth, and six years prior to that (4007 BBY), he saw the Force ghost of his grandfather Jev, who the Companion says disappeared on a mission a year prior to that (4008 BBY). If you start at 3999 and count back the number of years (2, then 6, then 1) you arrive at 4008 BBY, which has to be the year of Jev's death, given that he appeared to Andur in ghost form a year later (4007 BBY).

  115. "Major Character Birth Years" – Keeper of the Holocron's Blog, Leland Chee's StarWars.com Blog (content now obsolete; archived from the original) establishes that Padmé Amidala was born 46 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, which corresponds to 46 BBY per The New Essential Chronology. Darth Plagueis (25: The Discreet Charm of the Meritocracy) states that Padmé Amidala "has only just turned thirteen" and that Gravid's reign "elapsed some five centuries earlier" which would place the quote regarding Gravid's death in 33 BBY. Thus, this article assumes that Gravid died around 533 BBY.
  116. Planets of the Galaxy, Volume Two, p. 22
  117. Planets of the Galaxy, Volume Two states on page 22 that this occurred "three hundred years ago." The book states on page 3 that "the information gathered here represents the state of the planets two years after the Battle of Endor." The Battle of Endor occurred in 4 ABY. Therefore, simple math places this event in 296 BBY.
