A Tale from Obi-Wan's Youngling Days and More from Marvel's May 2022 Star Wars Comics – Exclusive Preview on StarWars.com (backup link) establishes that the frame story in Obi-Wan 1 takes place during Obi-Wan Kenobi's final days on Tatooine, meaning it is set soon before the events of Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the events of A New Hope to begin at the start of 0 BBY, the frame story of Obi-Wan must occur in c. 1 BBY.
