Time Tales began as Star Wars fan-made timeline in 1996. Created by Christoper McElroy, the timeline first appeared online at Star Wars Virtual Edition, the website of Roderick Vonhogen, a Catholic priest from the Netherlands. 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.

In 1997, Time Tales moved to TheForce.Net and grew to a document that was over 1100 pages in length. Time Tales offered both an illustrated online version and a downloadable Microsoft Word document. Section 1.1 and 1.2 of Times Tales, which covers the Old Republic era, are the only fragments left of the timeline still hosted on TheForce.net as of November 2022.

The website also includes Star Wars family trees created by Potts and the "Dune Sea Scroll" created by McElroy. These documents are expanded transcripts of the Star Wars films and radio dramas. Another feature of their website is "Arcana Historica," which is a presentation of long-forgotten, unreprinted Star Wars adventures and nonfiction literature.

Time Tales has been recognized among fans and authors. Christopher McElroy and Michael Potts were acknowledged in the Force Heretic trilogy written by Sean Williams and Shane Dix, and by Daniel Wallace in The Essential Chronology, the official Star Wars Legends timeline guidebook published by Lucasfilm.

Time Tales has also been translated into other languages by other fans.
