Time and Age in Star Wars!?
In the thread started by Lief Erikson I have argued the point of the Emperor's Origions, but one question that kept comming up in my head as I was writing was one of great importance to that subject and all of Star Wars together. The questions is how does time and space work in the Star Wars universe!? As we know the planet Earth revolves and spins around our sun every 365 days, each time that happens we have lived another year. We also know that other planerts in our solar system have much longer and much shorter years. With this understanding, how can you tell time in Star Wars!? If Corucant has years lasting 500 "Earth" days and Tattooine has years lasting 250 "Earth" days how old would someone be in the Galaxy!? When exactlly would events happen? If Corucant is faster in time than Kamino, would the clones have been contracted 200 years ago to the Kaminoians? What do you all think? How does time work durring intergalactic travel?

I would guess that a standard unit of time is used. This time would be the official time for the Republic/Empire based on a type of measurement. I have no idea what that would be. I am guessing that they would use the same time units that the planet Geia of the Sol system uses. Quote:
If you want to have some fun go to stardestroyer.net They do a lot of comparisons between SW & ST. This page gives a desciption of Hyperdrive technology. It does not cover time, but I think this should help a little.

I know that this has nothing to do with this thread, but on supershadow.com, is it really Lucas answering the questions or is it just Supershadow? Thanks
