"It's incredibly exciting to be able to actually tell this story, because it's a huge story in Kanan's life—it's a significant event in his development. It's not just, 'Oh yeah, we're going to tell another story. Here's another adventure.' It's not just another adventure. It's a huge event in his life. "
―Greg Weisman[ 8]

↑ The flashback story in Kanan 1 -Kanan 3 takes place during and shortly after Order 66 , which Star Wars: Timelines dates to 19 BBY .
↑ Kanan 6 states that it had been fourteen years since Kanan Jarrus had seen Gamut Key . As Kanan last saw Gamut Key in Kanan 4 , this comic must be set fourteen years prior to Kanan 6 . Kanan 6 has the Ghost crew aware of Fulcrum , meaning that it must also be set after "Gathering Forces ". However, as Ezra Bridger does not yet have his lightsaber , it must be set before "Path of the Jedi ." "Star Wars: Galactic Atlas " places "Empire Day " (which directly precedes "Gathering Forces") and "Path of the Jedi" in 4 BBY , meaning that Kanan 6 must also take place in 4 BBY . If Kanan 6 takes place in 4 BBY, and Kanan 4 takes place fourteen years prior, it must take place in 18 BBY . Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of Kanan 5 to 18 BBY .
↑ Star Wars Helmet Collection : Commander Bacara ( Helmets: Commander Bacara ) places the events of Kanan 10 -11 months prior to the Fourth Battle of Mygeeto , which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 19 BBY . Kanan 7 -9 take place shortly prior to Kanan 10.
↑ The opening crawl for Kanan 2 places the present day events of Star Wars: Kanan to be fifteen years after the Proclamation of the New Order , which occurred in 19 BBY according to Star Wars: Timelines . Therefore, the present day events occur in 4 BBY .
