1981 - Raiders of the Lost Ark

In Raiders of the Lost Ark we see a hieroglyph in the Well of Souls depicting the scene where Leia inserts the Death Star plans in R2-D2, according to Raiders of the Lost Ark Sourcebook, the Well of Souls began construction in 922 BC

1996 - Yoda Stories

In Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures, Indy can be abducted to Planet Xantar in one of the endings, which is followed up on Star Wars: Yoda Stories, where Luke Skywalker can find him along with Bug-Eyes, the alien who abducted Indy. Since Desktop Adventures is set on 1933~1936 and Yoda Stories on 3 ABY, this would make 0 ABY 1930~1933, however, this game has been declared non-canon to both the Indiana Jones and Star Wars universes

2001 - HoloNet News Vol. 531 #50

In HoloNet News Vol. 531 #50 there is a mention of asogian Senator Grebleips funding a survey in another Galaxy, a reference to the events of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, which places 22 BBY on 1982 and 0 ABY on 2004

2004 - Into the Great Unknown

Haden Blackman, the writer of "Into the Great Unknown" stated that the last 2 pages of the story are set in 1942 or 1943 (and consequently, the first 8 in 1816 or 1817). The first 8 pages happen somewhere between 9 ABY and 19 ABY, since Han Solo has children and the imperial remnant is chasing the millenium falcon, this would put 0 ABY somewhere between 1797 and 1808, however, this story has been declared non-canon to both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones universe

2009 - The Gungan General

Senator Kharrus' staff has the same headpiece as the Staff of Ra, which was created as early as 922 BC according to Raiders of the Lost Ark Sourcebook

2009 - LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues

In LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues, set in 1957, we can see Han Solo frozen in carbonite on Hangar 51, meaning that after the events of the Empire Strikes Back, Boba Fett made a pit-stop to Earth before giving Han Solo to Jabba. This puts The Empire Strikes back in 1957 and 0 ABY in 1954, however I don't feel that I even need to state that the Travellers Tales LEGO games aren't canon to Star Wars or Indiana Jones

2011 - Wookie Hunt

The Crystal Skull of Akator can be seen on Wookiee Hunt, according to its own debut movie, it was created before 5000 BC

2017 - Through Imperial Eyes

We can see the Holy Grail in "Through the Imperial Eyes", according to the official "Rare Artifacts Poster" T-Shirt it was created in 33 AD

2018 - Solo

We can see the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol present among Dryden Vos collection, according to the official T-Shit "Rare Artifacts Poster" it was created in 64 BC. We also see a couple more of them in "Aldhani", now on Luthen Rael possesion, meaning at least one of them is not the original Golden Idol

2022 - The Axe Forgets

A trio of Sankara Stones appears on "The Axe Forgets", in "Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide" it is stated that Sankara used the 5 stones to convert many indians into the worship of Shiva and after his death they were scattered, in real-life, the worship of Shiva became the main religious practice of India on the 13th Century AD

The hieroglyph depicts R2-D2 and C-3PO, not the Death Star Plan scene (I stand corrected ^^)

On Liberty on Ryloth we can see the Ark of Covenant being carried by 2 Twi'leks, which was created around 1400 BC according to Indiana Jones Comic #7
This was confirmed to be the Twi'lek Ark / Ryloth Ark


But I agree, this thread is interesting! Love it!
