Star Wars Timelines: are these continuity errors?
I'm reading all the canon material in chronological order. I started to use Star Wars Timelines to check I'm not missing anything, and I found some weird entries. I am reading evertything in English, but I am not a native speaker, so maybe some of these things were stated subtly and I didn't get them, but to me they look like continuity errors.
- (Picture 1)According to Timelines, Obi-Wan and Satine's romance occurs in 42BBY during the Mandalorian civil war. The novel Padawan is set one year later, in 41BBY. However, at the beginning of Padawan, Obi-Wan is insecure and frustrated because Qui-Gon hadn't taken him outiside the temple yet. The book pictures it as if Lenhara is his first adventure. This wouldn't make much sense if he had already been into the Mandalorian Civil War, lived a romance with Satine, been tempted to leave the Jedi order and ended up taking the difficult decision not following his heart and staying within the order .
- (Picture 2) According to Timelines, in 34BBY Sidious tests Maul on Malachor, and one year later Maul kills Eldra Kaitis. However, in Age of Republic- Darth Maul, which is the comic where Maul goes to Malachor, there is a direct reference to Maul having already killed Eldra.
Are these simply mistakes to be ignored or is there something I'm missing?
