Possible answer to the timeline?

[Meste17]

I THINK I might have JUST solved the Star Wars question: "Is Star Wars in the past or in the future?"

[Teaos]

Doesnt it say a long time ago? And since its far away it's even longer ago as far as we are concerned?

Actually, what do you think of my theory that Star Wars would take place approximately 700,000,000 million years ago?

[Teaos]

It could, it could happen almost anytime between now and when G class stars and M class planets started forming. Around 3.5 billion years after the big bang or 10 billion years ago.

Did I miss the actual theory itself? The first post just says that you think you just solved it, then later you ask about what he thinks of your theory... where is the theory and its support?

The length if time you have stated is trillion years. The universe was formed approximately 13.8 billion (13,800,000,000) years ago. Did you mean 700 million?

Also what's your theory? How might you have solved it?

Omg yes! *embarrassed and turns red* that's EXACTLY what I mean yes! 700 million OR 700,000,000 years ago.

That's my theory, and it goes kind of lengthy, but I did some research after looking at the Star Wars timeline on Wookiepedia, which according to that, started 13,700,000,000 BBY (or Before the Battle of Yavin), and if we accept that our universe AND theirs started with a big bang around the same time (due to most universes starting with the big bang), and I think I read somewhere that our universe was formed 13,000,000,000 years ago. Add to that that if we go the same amount of time down the time line, and if we keep constant....well, here is what I am saying:

important event Star Trek timeline Star Wars timeline
universe formed 13,000,000,000 BC 13,700,000,000 BBY
some important event 700,025,053 BC 25,053 BBY

Granted this is a general model for the timeline comparisons, but I hope you DO see my point.

Wookiepedia isnt canon and the umber they give is just a straight out extrapolation from the date of our big bang and to my knowledge is not referenced anywhere in canon or in the EU. I think some fan just added that for completeness of the time line.

Also time and age is relative depending on speed. Everything did form in the big bang, but due to time slowing down the faster you get to the speed of light not all things have aged the same.

Also the are still pinning down the exact date of the big bang.

Wookipedia isn't canon but Star Wars.com link to Wookipedia for more details as the Databank had been deleted for something less complete but prettier called Encyclopedia.

I wouldve thought that Wookiepedia was canon. It DOES have canon info on the 6 (now 7, soon to be 8) Star Wars movies. -confused-

[Teaos]

Wookidpedia us a wiki and thus not reliable. It has info from the entire EU, a lot of which is just stupid.

Memory Beta also has canon Star Trek info on it, but it also has a large amount of non-canon from the books, etc.
Having canon information there doesn't make the whole site canon

Good point.
