"Standard" dates explanation

Post by Mitth`raw`nuruodo »

from http://www.starwars.com
Is a 'standard' day, year, or other time measurements the same as a earth day, year and more?

The standard measurements used in the galaxy are derived from the local measurements found on Coruscant. A standard day consists of 24 hours. There are five standard days in a standard week. There are seven standard weeks in a standard month. A standard year is 368 standard days long, which breaks down to ten standard months plus three "fete weeks" and three more holidays, all devoted to traditional celebrations, festivals and observances.
Unless higher canon stuff disagrees, this is the date system in the SW universe.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

That's been widely known by those familiar with the RPG for about ten years.

What's really interesting about that is because they have a longer year, their light years are slightly longer than ours (~0.75% longer).
