92 BBY, alternatively known as 92 Before the Battle of Yavin, signifies a year within the 'ABY-BBY' dating system. This year falls squarely within the era when the Galactic Republic held dominion over the galaxy.
Within established Star Wars canon, the year 92 BBY initially appeared in the inaugural edition of Star Wars Jedi Master Magazine, released by Titan Magazines on November 16, 2015. Both Jedi Master Magazine issue number 1 and the 2017 publication Star Wars Super Graphic: A Visual Guide to a Galaxy Far, Far Away identify 92 BBY as the birth year of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. However, the novel Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray, released in 2019 and situated in 40 BBY according to the 2023 reference work Star Wars: Timelines, portrays Qui-Gon as being forty years of age during the novel's events. This documentation assumes that Jedi Master Magazine 1 and Star Wars Super Graphic, being older publications, contain inaccuracies.
The year 92 BBY has its roots in the Star Wars Legends continuity, where it was first alluded to in "Shintel Downtime," an adventure penned by Paul Sudlow and featured in the 1995 Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game supplement The DarkStryder Campaign by West End Games. This adventure references events occurring "about a century" prior to its setting in 8 ABY. The magazine Vader: The Ultimate Guide, a souvenir item launched in July of 2005, marked the first explicit mention of the year.
