Time Tales is a widely renowned Star Wars fan-made timeline that had its beginnings in 1996. Created by Christoper McElroy, the timeline first appeared online at Roderick Vonhogen's (a Catholic priest from the Netherlands) Star Wars Virtual Edition website. Soon after, Michael Potts, from Australia, contacted Chris McElroy and offered his own research and advice, and a collaborative partnership was born. The pair complemented each other with their "bricks and mortar" approach, McElroy writing story summaries, and Potts providing all the filler information.
