Han Solo - Imperial Cadet, on the other hand, while also taking place during Solo, is placed after it, because it assumes knowledge of the events of Solo and doesn't make sense if read before. While Lando - Double or Nothing technically takes place during the events of Solo, it is about Lando before his appearance in Solo, so it is placed before it. Stories which take place concurrently are sorted into a sensible order - it doesn't make sense to read Lost Stars before watching Return of the Jedi, so it is placed after. Stories with flashfowards/flashbacks are placed according to their "latest date", so as not to spoil "future" events in the viewing order. This timeline, on the other hand, is manually ordered to make the most sense to the viewer/reader. Particular examples are the novel Lost Stars, which takes place over the entire original trilogy, but is placed by Wookieepedia before A New Hope, or the Yoda's Secret War arc of the Star Wars comic, which is placed before Episode I but features flashforwards to Luke. While useful in general, Wookiepedia's timeline sorts all the stories by their "earliest date." This isn't very helpful for anyone attempting to work their way through all of Star Wars in chronological order, as it means stories with flashbacks/flashforwards, or that take place over extended periods of time, appear in inappropriate places. This is a simplified viewing/reading/playing order for the new Star Wars post-2014 canon, based on DIrishB's original timeline and updated using Wookieepedia's Timeline of Canon Media.
