NOTE:  In the Droids comic series it's implied the stories take place 100 years earlier, as this is unlikely I have placed just prior to the Droids cartoon series upon which they are based. Be aware that issue 4 was a crossover story with Ewoks #10, and is a time travel story thus the second half of the story is listed 12 years later.
    Also, this series lasted for 8 issues, but issues 6-8 are an adaptation of Star Wars: A New Hope, so those last three installments are listed with the other film adaptations.

NOTE: Droids- The Adventures of R2-D2 and C3P0 was a cartoon series originally a part of The Ewoks and Droids Adventure Hour on ABC. When the series went into a cable TV run the two sections were broken up. The Droids section consisted of three main story arcs with an additional one hour special that took place between the second and third arcs. In 1997 the second story arc, episodes 5-9,  were combined into a feature length story, The Price and The Pirates, however, the fifth episode of that arc, Coby and The Stahunters was not included in the film. A 2004 DVD contains The Price and The Pirates and Treasures of The Hidden Planet, which is a new feature length version of episodes 10-13.

NOTE: The three entries bellow contain very little in the way of a continuity reference. I decided to place them before the events of ANH as Boba Fett's activities are well accounted for during the period that follows. As little activity has been chronicled about this year in the timeline I chose it as an easy place to insert this material. Their placement is subject to change if more information becomes available.
