## Notes and references

1. ↑  *Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark* Authors Reveal Their Stories on StarWars.com (backup link)
2. ↑ *Star Wars: Galactic Atlas* dates "Prisoners" and "Crisis on Naboo" to 20 BBY.  *Star Wars: The Clone Wars* Chronological Episode Order on StarWars.com (backup link) places the four episodes of the Umbara arc — "Darkness on Umbara", "The General", "Plan of Dissent" and "Carnage of Krell" — between "Prisoners" and "Crisis on Naboo", meaning they must also be set in 20 BBY. As this story is an adaptation of the Umbara arc, it must share their setting and time period.
