This community is pretty bipolar about picking a spot in the timeline. I recall being dumbed for suggesting that moving to a few weeks before order 66 would cause problems.
When I was GMD I set a policy that a gamemaster can host an event at any point in the timeline as long as it is accurately conveyed to the players that the event is set at that particular point (order 66, battle of ringo vinda, first battle of geonosis etc). This removes restrictions on them while also keeping immersion mostly in-tact. Notice this is only for events not encounters since you can't really "flashback" on main server. I believe @Shockpoint has kept this policy in place.
I believe there are ways to tell stories similar to these characters experiences without the un-immersivness of having these characters experience / convey them.
So -1 for me unless someone can counter my points
