We've got the Judiciary using the 10-month standard calendar, archivists using the Alderaanian 11-month notation, and infrastructure using a hexidecimal-based system. Researchers are getting tired of needing calendar converters in their pads.
— Keelen Ma, chair of the Republic Measures and Standards Bureau[1]

Star Wars has so many calendars. While that's a lot of fun, it is also very annoying when you're trying to work out dates and decide which calendar to use. We know that even in-universe, people had calendar converters![1] Most calendars are based around the months and days of the Galactic Standard Calendar, with the only difference being the zero year. See the Galactic Standard Calendar entry for terminology around months, weeks and days for most calendars. (When there is a difference from these for a specific calendar, it's noted.)

This page is organised so that dating systems used more prolifically are listed first. The most pertinent information is at the beginning of each section so you don't have to read slabs of text if you are just here to find out the days of the week. The acronym after the name of the calendar is the way to indicate the calendar when writing the year. If there are two, the first one refers to before the zero year and the second one after the zero year. Multiple calendars (GSC, ATC, AFE) have "0" as their first year (instead of 1 being the first year, as happens in real life), so this page assumes all calendars do.

Conversion spreadsheets
  • If you want to convert a BBY/ABY date to another calendar, you can use this spreadsheet by ZeenMrala. The GrS year provided starts in the fifth month of the BBY/ABY year and continues through the first five months of the next BBY/ABY.[Note 1] It uses standard units of time for all calendars (so the Naboo "year" in the calculator is the same length as the Galactic Standard Calendar, not 312 days).
  • If you want to convert between standard years and Naboo years as the shorter local years, you can use minnarr's spreadsheet here.

Quick reference: comparison of all calendars[]

In this table, negative numbers indicate dates before the first year of the calendar (e.g., BBY, BFE, BrS). While dates that don't have a more specific GrS date could occur as late as five or six months into the next GSC year (see the GrS section), only the year that contains the first five or six months of the equivalent GrS year is given for readability. Only the dating system used in the original source has a citation, as the rest are calculations based on that number. It uses standard units of time (so the Naboo "year" in the table is the same length as the Galactic Standard Calendar, not 312 days).[Note 2]

Galactic Standard Calendar (BBY/ABY)[]

  • Zero year IU: Battle of Yavin[10]
  • Zero year OOU: Events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope[10]
  • Era: New Republic for the zero-year dating,[11] but the holidays are celebrated under the Empire as well when using the Great ReSynchronization calendar.[12]
  • Months: 10 or 12 (see below). No known names for months, but fete weeks have names: New Year Fete Week (five days at the beginning of the year, before the first month), Festival of Life (between the sixth and seventh month) and Festival of Stars (between the ninth and tenth month). Regional holidays have some known names, such as Boonta Eve and Harvest Day on Tatooine.[13]
  • Week days: 5 days in a week: Primeday, Centaxday, Taungsday, Zhellday, and Benduday.[14]

This is the most frequently used calendar in out of universe sources. Sometimes, "BSW4/ASW4" is also used to indicate this, referring to the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, but it's just a different term for the exact same thing.[15] It was created in-universe some time soon before 25 ABY in the Legends continuity.[11] Events before the Battle of Yavin are denoted "BBY" (standing for Before the Battle of Yavin) and the numbers get smaller as you get closer to the Battle of Yavin (e.g. the Clone Wars break out in 22 BBY and end in 19 BBY).[16] After the Battle of Yavin, dates are denoted "ABY" (standing for After the Battle of Yavin) and the numbers get bigger as you move further away from the Battle of Yavin (e.g. the Battle of Endor is in 4 ABY[16] and Din Djarin meets Grogu for the first time in 9 ABY[17]).

Months, weeks and days[]

This is, of course, a mess. There are two different calendars, essentially, and it seems that different sources in both Legends and New Canon continuity pick and choose which one at random. Everyone agrees that "standard months" and "standard days" are determined by the rotation of Coruscant, but some sources claim Coruscant's year is 365 days long[18], and sometimes it's 368 with 10 months and an overly complicated series of holidays that are counted outside of months entirely. Sometimes it has 12 months and they don't specify how many days.[19] It's a nightmare.

Every source agrees that, when referring to the "standard" units of time, there are 24 hours in a day.[20] There are sixty seconds to a minute and sixty minutes to an hour.[18] Technically, Star Wars: Republic introduced the term "millicycle" to mean a minute,[21] but it doesn't come up anywhere else, whereas the term "minute" is used very frequently across both continuities.[22][23]

Times are written with four numbers followed by "standard time", e.g. "0824 standard time".[Note 3]

Shara Bey picks a fake Stormtrooper number based on Poe's birthday: TK-510.[24] Charles Soule confirmed on Twitter that it's the tenth day of the fifth month,[25] which means she put the month before the day. Is this how GSC dates are written? Is it just how Charles Soule writes it because he's American? Is it something to do with how Stormtrooper designations work? We sadly do not know.

10-month calendar[]

Under this calendar, a standard year has 368 days. There are 10 months, each with 7 weeks of 5 days each. In addition to these unnamed months, there were three "fete weeks": New Year Fete Week (five days at the beginning of the year, before the first month), Festival of Life (between the sixth and seventh month) and Festival of Stars (between the ninth and tenth month). Because that still only brings it to 365 days, there are also three regional holidays that vary from place to place. Sometimes they are seasonal and move depending on the movements of the local celestial bodies, such as Tatooine's Boonta Eve and Harvest Day.[13]

The High Republic: Saber for Hire uses the ten month calendar (though it's an unnamed year counting system, as we don't know what calendar was used during the High Republic era).[26] Karen Traviss stated that Triple Zero used the "Galactic Standard Calendar" with ten months in it.[27] As the book is set during the Clone Wars, she is probably referring to the structure of the GSC but the dating of GrS; we don't know, because dates are only given by "days since the Battle of Geonosis".[28]

12-month calendar[]

In my opinion, the unspoken guiding principle behind the 12-month calendar is "as close to our own calendar as possible so that no significant conversion calculations are required." This would translate into 7-day weeks and 365-day years. (But in keeping with this KISS philosophy, we'd probably forget about leap years.)
— Daniel Wallace[29]

It's unclear how this one works, but it has 12 months. The New Essential Chronology (which is Legends) uses the 12-month calendar. (Confusingly, during the Clone Wars it uses a decimal system and a 12 month calendar counting from the Battle of Geonosis, which is a baffling choice: for instance, the hunt for Darth Sidious is dated "19.1 to 19 BBY (2 years, 11 months-3 years after the Battle of Geonosis)".

Great Resyncronization Calendar (BrS/GrS)[]

  • Zero year IU: (Unknown in-universe event)[1]
  • Zero year OOU: Thirteen years before the events of Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones;[30] this is a retcon for some Legends books placing the Clone Wars in 35 BBY.[31]
  • Era: Last 16 years of the Late Republic;[1] Galactic Empire[12]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 35 years, 5 months (this is up for debate)[Note 1]
  • Months: 10 with fete weeks outside the months like in the GSC[12] or 12 with an unknown holiday structure (see below).[32]
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This is the second-most prolific calendar used in Legends material. The event that they decided to use as the zero date in-universe is unknown, but we do know it was an attempt to simplify the date-keeping of official records. We also know it didn't work, as different government agencies were all using different calendars at the outbreak of the Clone Wars, thirteen years after GrS was established.[1] It was used through the Imperial period.[12]

The benefit of this calendar is that it has a coherent way to indicate when events occur within a year, as it has months and days. A date is written [Year]:[Month]:[Day] (e.g. 13:5:21).[30] The year and month don't have leading zeroes, but some sources write leading zeroes for days (e.g. 14:9:01)[33] and some don't.[34] Dates after the establishment of the calendar don't get any letters to indicate which calendar it is in-universe, but dates before the establishment of the calendar are followed by BrS and are written [Year]BrS:[Month]:[Day] (e.g. Palpatine is born on 47BrS:8:11),[8] because why would Star Wars do something sensible when it could do something terrible instead. Dates using this calendar on this wiki are followed by BrS or GrS for clarity, and put the BrS at the end for readability. Like the GSC, the numbers for BrS dates get smaller as time passes leading up to the establishment of the calendar.

The GrS calendar also celebrates at least the New Year Fete Week before the first month but after the previous year's tenth month, writing the date as [Year]:F1:[Day 1-5].[12] Well, it does in West End Games sources. In The Essential Atlas, GrS has 12 months.[32] The lengths of the months in the 12 month calendar are unknown, but we know some minimum lengths:

  • 1st month has at least 26 days[32]
  • 2nd month has at least 28 days[32]
  • 4th month has at least 28 days[35]
  • 6th month has at least 29 days[35]
  • 7th month has at least 31 days[35]
  • 8th month has at least 27 days[35]
  • 10th month has at least 31 days[32]
  • 11th month has at least 30 days[36]
  • 12th month has at least 29 days.[32]

Cynabar's Fantastic Technology: Droids and Gundark's Fantastic Technology: Personal Gear contain what look like GrS dates in their identifying codes for comments to its in-universe guide, but include a mysterious fourth element whose meaning is unknown (e.g. 34:9:3:51). This fourth number is written with a leading zero, unlike all the other numbers (e.g. 35:6:3:02), and goes as high as 92. It is possible that these aren't GrS dates at all, because some of them don't make sense as dates (e.g. 37:0:0:02).[37]

Coruscant Reckoning Calendar (CRC)[]

  • Zero year IU: (Unknown in-universe event)
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Late Republic;[38] Galactic Empire;[39] New Republic[38]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 7977 years[39]
  • Months: Unknown, but there are 365 days in a year[40]
  • Week days: (Unknown)

Dates are written as [Year].[Day].[Time of day], with the days of the year written from 1-365 and time of day measured in tenths. While this is true for the dates in Andor, the dates in Scum and Villainy: Case Files on the Galaxy's Most Notorious do not follow this system except for the year, as they were written before the system was worked out and operated only on vibes.[40]

Within a given millennium, it was acceptable to indicate a date with only the last three digits of the first number preceded by an apostrophe (e.g. '945 instead of 7945). Within a century, the date could be indicated by the last two digits of that number; for instance, Exantor Divo recorded that he graduated from the Hosnian Prime Academy of Law Enforcement as part of the "Class of '96 (Hosnian Reckoning)." "Hosnian Reckoning" is the same thing as CRC.[38]

Ruusan Reformation calendar[]

  • Zero year IU: Ruusan Reformation at the end of the New Sith Wars[41]
  • Zero year OOU: 1000 years before the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope[41]
  • Era: Last 1000 years of the Galactic Republic[41]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 1000 years[1]
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

It was instituted by Chancellor Tarsus Valorum[41] (not to be confused with Finis Valorum, the chancellor during Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace). How to denote dates is unknown, but a popular way in fic is "BRR" (standing for Before Ruusan Reformation) and "ARR" (standing for After Ruusan Reformation).

Imperial calendar (BFE/AFE)[]

  • Zero year IU: Founding of the Galactic Empire[42]
  • Zero year OOU: End of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith[42]
  • Era: Galactic Empire[42]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 19 years[43]
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

The zero year was the founding of the Galactic Empire. Dates were followed by BFE (Before the Formation of the Empire) or AFE (After the Formation of the Empire). Although Emperor Palpatine reset the calendar to the formation of the Empire,[42] the CRC dating system persisted in some places.[39] This calendar is New Canon only, hence the persistence of GrS into the Imperial period in Legends sources.

Treaty of Coruscant calendar (BTC/ATC)[]

  • Zero year IU: Signing of the Treaty of Coruscant[44]
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Old Republic[44]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 3653 years
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

The Galactic Senate adopted this system after the signing of the Treaty of Coruscant. BTC/ATC are written before the year, not after it.[44]

10-month standard calendar[]

  • Zero year IU: (Unknown in-universe event)
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Late Republic[1]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: (Unknown)
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This calendar was used by the Judicial Department of the Republic government during the Separatist Crisis, which created problems with interdepartmental communication as many used different calendars.[1] It might be referring to the months/weeks/days structure of the GSC and the date format of the GrS. We'll never know.

Hexidecimal calendar[]

  • Zero year IU: (Unknown in-universe event)
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Late Republic[1]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: (Unknown)
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This calendar was used by infrastructure workers during the Separatist Crisis, which created problems with interdepartmental communication as many used different calendars.[1]

Local calendars[]

Alderaanian 11-month notation[]

  • Zero year IU: (Unknown in-universe event)
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Late Republic[1]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: (Unknown)
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This calendar was used by archivists during the Separatist Crisis, which created problems with interdepartmental communication as many used different calendars.[1] Presumably, from the name, it's also used on the planet of Alderaan (but we don't actually know; in Legends we get no indication of how many months Alderaan has, and this is a Legends-exclusive calendar).

Lothal calendar (LY)[]

  • Zero year IU: Canonically unknown in-universe event[45]
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Galactic Empire[46]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 3277 years[46]
  • Months: (Unknown)
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This calendar was used on the planet Lothal in the Outer Rim.[46]

Naboo calendar[]

  • Zero year IU: Naboo joining the Republic[47]
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Late Republic[48]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 867[48]
  • Months: Year has 312 standard days of 26 standard hours each.[49] Only one named month: Grizm, which has at least 34 days.[48]
  • Week days: (Unknown)

This calendar was used on the planet Naboo in the Mid Rim. The years were written as [Year]th Year of Kwilaan. Kwilaan was the first human to discover Naboo and established the first human settlement centuries before Naboo joined the Republic.[50] Despite naming the years after Kwilaan, the zero year is the year they joined the Republic, not the year humans settled Naboo.[47]

Fanon Naboo calendar[]

Forn
This article documents fanon.
The content of this page or section has little or no basis in New Canon or Legends. It was originally or primarily created by minnarr on Tumblr. They either have a blanket permission statement or have given their permission for their work to be used, as stated here.

The following is based on this Tumblr post (archived version). Please credit minnarr if you use these details in your fic.

This calendar is based on the fact that Naboo's day is 26 hours (as opposed to the GSC's 24) and the year is 312 standard days (as opposed to the GSC's 365 or 368). Minnarr reconciled this by inventing a completely new system of telling time used by the Naboo (the human population, not including the Gungans).

Time[]

The Naboo have two time-keeping systems and which one any individual uses kind of depends on circumstances. You can convert between the two timekeeping systems with this spreadsheet.

Old Naboo Clock
  • This is the original clock invented by the human settlers on Naboo, based around the movement of the sun in a day. By the time of the Late Republic, this was largely used by farmers and those in remote regions, though it was also taught in schools across the planet. During the Empire, it was associated with Rebel leanings, and became less prominent. There were several timezones.
  • The day is broken into a number of hours of 65 standard minutes each and watches of 195 standard minutes each
  • Hours represent segments of daytime and earlier portions of the evening; first hour begins around dawn. Watches are “the night watches.”
  • The number of hours and watches in a day changes depending on whether it is summer (the four months of the growing season) or winter (the rest of the year). In summer, there are 15 hours and 3 watches. In winter, there are 12 hours and 4 watches.
  • Time is usually expressed as “the [ordinal number] minute of the [ordinal number] [hour/watch].” For example, late at night, one might say, “It is the sixty-third minute of the second watch.” For short, it’s usually phrased as “second watch, sixty-third minute.”
Theed Standard Time
  • This clock was developed after Naboo joined the Republic in 867 BBY. It is more commonly used in the cities, as it is used by the government, businesses and universities. It is easier to use for intergalactic commerce, as it is more similar to Galactic Standard Time. It does not have timezones, instead always measuring the time based on Theed.
  • Theed Standard uses the standard hour of 60 minutes and divides the day into 26 hours
  • Midnight is set at seven hours before first hour by the Old Naboo Clock in Theed's timezone. Noon (13:00) falls at 6th hour, 30th minute.
Months, weeks and days[]

Minnarr has a spreadsheet that summarises the months and converts between Naboo and Standard days here. There are 312 standard days in a Naboo year, but because Naboo days are 26 hours long, that means there are only 288 Naboo days in a Naboo year. These 288 days are divided into 8 months of 36 days each:

  1. Allt
  2. Grizm
  3. Kalanth
  4. Deej
  5. Ormassa
  6. Suyan
  7. Ret
  8. Mushta

The growing season, also known as festival season, is Kalanth to Suyan. This is also the time when the Old Naboo Clock runs on summer time. Most of Naboo’s inhabited landmass is temperate, but its people do refer to four seasons. Spring generally refers to Grizm and Kalanth; summer to Deej and Ormassa; autumn to Suyan and Ret; and winter to Mushta and Allt.

Other calendar notes[]
  • In election years, the vote takes place mid-to-late Grizm and the Day of Ascendancy (coronation) towards the end of Grizm. (Conjecture based on the date of Amidala’s Day of Ascendancy).
  • The legislature goes into its spring recess in mid-Grizm during the leadup to elections. (Pure headcanon)
  • There are two major grain harvests during Naboo’s growing season (source: Queen’s Peril). I’ve placed them as a winter planting harvested starting in Kalanth and a spring planting harvested up through the end of Suyan.
  • Growing season is also called festival season because it’s bracketed by two major days of celebration and has another right in the middle.
  • The first is the Day of Ascendancy, end of Grizm.
  • Midsummer festival happens at the end of Deej, after the first harvest is done. It features bonfires and traditional dances; it’s about community, but there are also stories of divining your true love in the flames and spirits walking the night. (Made up, a sort of vague reference to and conflation of May Day, Beltane, and Walpurgis Night).
  • I’ve placed the Festival of Lights at the end of Suyan. This is a canon celebration of Naboo joining the Republic, often featuring fireworks and speeches (it featured in TCW during the episode "Crisis on Naboo").

Tapani calendar[]

  • Zero year IU: First settlement of Tapani[51]
  • Zero year OOU: (Unknown)
  • Era: Old Republic; Late Republic; Galactic Empire[51]
  • Difference between this and BBY/ABY: 12,720 years[51]
  • Months: Same month/week/fete weeks structure as the GSC. Month names and holiday placement: Elona, Kelona, Tapani Day, Selona, Expansion Week, Telona, Nelona, Productivity Day, Helona, Shelova Week, Melona, Yelona, Harvest Day, Relona, Welona, Winter Fete[51]
  • Week days: 5 days in a week: Atunda, Katunda, Satunda, Datunda, Natunda[51]

The Tapani calendar was a calendar specific to the Tapani sector, which was near Fondor. It had adjusted to have approximately the same structure as the Galactic Standard Calendar, but kept the local names of the months and holidays. In the Imperial Era, this refusal to adopt the Imperial calendar was seen as a sign of the sector's autonomy.[51] Despite the periodic tumblr posts proclaiming that these are the names of the standard months, the names are canonically highly localised. But the only things that are canon in Star Wars are the things that give you joy, so feel free to ignore that.

Time keeps on slipping: unclear terms[]

Cycle has multiple meanings:[Note 4]

  • It can be a synonym for month.[26]
  • Scraps (an Utai from Utapau) tells Malakili, "Been away from home a lotta cycles now."[53] It's not contextually clear if that's equivalent to months, years, decades...
  • Also unclear, when Sy Snootle asks CH5-09 how long it's been since she came to Tatooine: "Within milliseconds, he knew how many cycles it had been since Sy had first taken the stage here. He knew how many years had passed. CH5 calculated how many performances she'd given [...]".[54]
  • It's an unspecifed length of time on the first Death Star that definitely isn't a month and can be reduced into subcycles. It can be a whole number or have a decimal point (used by the mouse droid MSE-6-G735Y). Contextually, it seems "cycle" is comparable to a day or a work shift and "subcycle" is like an hour, ex. TK-450 complains about how TK-421 "spends every cycle down there talking to droids" and TK-421 comments about "standing around with a blaster for who knows how many subcycles". Referring to ANH events, there are 2.52 cycles between Darth Vader's interrogation of Leia Organa and the meeting of the Joint Chiefs, Alderaan is destroyed 7.52 cycles later, then the Battle of Yavin is 3.73 cycles after that.[55][Note 5] Cycles are also used on the second Death Star, with Moff Jerjerrod telling Darth Vader that he's "eliminated several rest periods and redeployed workers on sixteen-hour shifts over twenty-hour cycles".[56]
  • It pops up in Most Wanted, but the meaning is unclear; it depends on just how awful the work camp is, and whether the life expectancy when you're working in it is measured in years or months.[57]
  • The planet Yakork has an annual Fungi Fest that attracts "thousands of visitors each cycle". It seems unlikely that an annual Fungi Fest would be year-round, which might mean that cycle means year in this context? We just don't know.[58]
  • In Adventure Journal #6, cycle refers to a single day: "As you watch, the planet rotates, constantly hiding half of the world in darkness and forcing the rest into the twin suns’ blazing radiation — records indicate that Delari Prime has only a 10 hour cycle."[59]

The term tenday pops up in both Legends[60] and New Canon,[61] but neither story gives any context for what that signifies. Could a "tenday" be equivalent to a "fortnight" (two weeks) and mean a week is five days long? Unclear!

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 The New Essential Chronology places the First Battle of Geonosis (13:5:21 GrS) and the fall of the Republic/Order 66 (16:5:24)[8] as both within 1-2 months of the new year in the BBY/ABY calendar (1 if you're going with a 10-month calendar, 6 if you're going by as 12-month calendar; given a 12-month calendar is only used in one source, I am choosing to ignore it). While Wookieepedia assumes The Essential Atlas identifying the events of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace as beginning in 35:3:3 means that the new year occurs at the beginning of the third month of the GrS calendar, we have no actual proof that the Battle of Yavin is exactly the date of the new year. In absence of proof to that effect, I think it makes more sense to believe the NEC about this. ZeenMrala (she/her)
  2. I suppose it makes it pretty useless for Naboo years to even be in this table but it already gets weird when you compare Legends & New Canon · The Clone Wars, Season 4, Episode 18: "Crisis on Naboo" (set 20 BBY and states that it's 847 years since Naboo joined the Republic; Hidalgo in the Full of Sith podcast episode cited earlier states that he used this as the basis for the zero year of the Naboo calendar) to the dates on Amidala's coronation poster in Star Wars Propaganda (32 BBY and states that it's 835 in the Naboo calendar, which is impossible unless the Naboo year is the same as the GSC year) so whatever! This keeps me awake at night. ZeenMrala (she/her)
  3. This is from a source that uses GrS but I feel confident in assuming it's probably the same: Legends · "Senator Moe Killed in Blast" — HoloNet News Vol. 531 #50 (content no longer online; backup link available). ZeenMrala (she/her)
  4. A non-calendar meaning: someone who cycles has a period.[52]
  5. Big grain of salt: various short stories in From a Certain Point of View give completely different time tables for events in Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, so there's a lack of internal consistency in dating events. Other sources vary as well when trying to pin things to hours or days, but those aren't clashing inside a single book!

  27. Real World · "Welcome some BCaT VIPs" by Karen Traviss on <forums.starwars.com>"For the record: when I was writing Triple Zero, I was asked what calendar I was using and the ten-month one was pointed out to me. I rely on the Holocron and only the Holocron for my data; and that's what the 'Cron cites as the standard. It makes sense to me that the GAR would use the Galactic Standard Calendar with "local time" added where needed, just as our own real military use Alpha and Zulu time zones. So until and unless Sue and Leland tell me specifically to use the Gregorian calendar, and the 'Cron changes, I shall use the ten-month one." (Archived on 2018-06-25)
