Oct 21, 2019 at 15:10 comment added NKCampbell ..this could also explain why the technology seems so far advanced to our real-world times. The story could still take place far into the future relative to us, but relative to the characters, and the one telling the story, far in their past - which could still be our distant future.
Oct 21, 2019 at 15:09 comment added NKCampbell it's impossible to know for now. A pet theory of mine (maybe heard it somewhere else so I'm reluctant to take full credit for it) is that we've seen that R2-D2 is one of the more permanent characters throughout the Skywalker saga. We don't know that perhaps the "long time ago" is relative to whoever is telling the story, not "our" real-world time. The tag could still be an in-universe reference, not an out of universe one. R2 could be in a far off galaxy telling this story far into the future....

Jul 24, 2014 at 21:24 comment added DavRob60 @Wikis Imperial units of the empire. Don't think too much...
Jul 24, 2014 at 7:57 comment added Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE I've realised I don't get @DavRob60's joke - can anyone explain?
Jul 24, 2014 at 7:53 comment added Valorum @davrob60 - I'm pretty sure it's all in Imperial 😊

Jul 29, 2011 at 15:41 comment added Xantec It happened a long time ago. Probably long enough ago that the answer would have no meaning to us. Perhaps along the lines of saying "a billion billion X", where X is years in this case. While it is a real number is not readily fathomable and therefore is meaningless.

Jul 29, 2011 at 13:18 comment added DampeS8N @Wikis At Area 51: Hm, your point about the answer in the other question is valid. As I didn't specifically list the time frame that the ET expedition occurred (and can't locate it) I could reopen this. However, this question probably doesn't have an answer based on anything better than ET. Lets find out.
Jul 29, 2011 at 13:12 comment added Reinstate Monica - Goodbye SE @DampeS8N - I don't think so. That one seems tongue in cheek (mixing fiction and reality) and is a combination of time and distance. The answer is based on a tenuous link with ET! I'm thinking of a Star Wars specific answer, possibly from the expanded fiction.
Jul 29, 2011 at 13:04 comment added DampeS8N I know it isn't an "Exact Duplicate" but it is essentially asking the same thing. :)
