- ↑Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary states thatPoe Dameron joined theResistance threeyears before theStarkiller Incident, whichStar Wars: Galactic Atlas dates to34 ABY. Therefore, Dameron joined the Resistance in31 ABY. As Dameron is a member of theResistance during the Rescue of Admiral Ackbar, it must take place during or after 31ABY. Furthermore, the novelForce Collector features thearm ofC-3PO, which means that the Rescue of Admiral Ackbar must take place some time afterForce Collector.
'Star Wars: Force Collector' Author Kevin Shinick on How His Story Ties into 'Star Wars' Canon by Dave Trumbore onCollider.com (November 19,2019) (backup link archived onNovember 19,2019)– states thatForce Collector takes place a few years prior toStar Wars: Episode VIIThe Force Awakens, or 34 ABY, meaning that the latestForce Collector can take place is at least two years prior to 34 ABY, or32 ABY. Therefore, the Rescue of Admiral Ackbar takes place between 31 and 32 ABY. - ↑3.03.13.23.33.43.53.63.73.8Poe Dameron: Flight Log
