Sorry if I wasn't clear...'we' simply was referring to me and my gaming group.
As for the timeline, I'll post it after this note...it is a tad out of date,
but orders things up nicely, and might be useful for comparison.

Star Wars Chronology
This chronology is taken from all Lucasfilm-licensed Star Wars material.
It is based on the dating scheme proposed by Timothy Zahn in Dark Force
Rising, in which all dates prior to Senator Palpatine's reign as Imperial
Emperor are denoted as PE, while all dates starting with the inception
of Palpatine's New Order are denoted as NE.
NOTE that this conflicts with the SW-RPG time pattern of 5 days per week,
7 weeks per month, 10 months per year, plus three holidays and three
festival weeks.
The timeslices portrayed by the various episodes, novels, and comic
series are indicated on the left.

- Emergence of Mandalorian Shock Troopers, and their defeat in the Clone Wars
- Exact dating of the Anakin/Vader change
- Better dating of the Clone Wars
- Better dating of Palpatine's rise to power
- More Tarkin info: dating of his promotions, Ackbar's rescue
- Ewok/Droid adventures?
- RPG information

could possibly be as stupid as we are. Fools 'em every time."
