- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Master & Apprentice
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 Star Wars: Timelines dates the flashback section of Tarkin, in which it is mentioned that Finis Valorum had won reelection, to 36 BBY. As Star Wars Propaganda: A History of Persuasive Art in the Galaxy states that Chancellors serve four year terms, he must have been first elected in 40 BBY.
