Behind the scenes[]
Following the release ofRogue One: A Star Wars Story in2016, it was noted by sources likeStar Wars: Galactic Atlas that the events ofRogue One andEpisode IVA New Hope, prior to the Battle of Yavin, occurred in 0 BBY.[6] However, according to the2022 Amazon listing for the reference bookStar Wars: Timelines states that these events took place in1 BBY.[25]Emily Shkoukani, a member of theLucasfilm Story Group stated on Twitter that 0 BBY no longer exists, and that events prior to the Battle of Yavin are now assigned 1 BBY, and The Battle of Yavin itself is "0," and any events in the year after that battle are 0 ABY.[26] Though the "Narkina 5" episode guide once again used 0 BBY forRogue One.[27]
Eventually, with the release ofTimelines in2023, the events ofRogue One still take place in 1 BBY; however, the events ofA New Hope now take place in "0."[7] The "0 BBY" name appeared in the reference bookStar Wars 100 Objects, which was released in the same month asTimelines, as a date forA New Hope and the last year of "the height of the Empire's reign." However, the book, on another page, uses the date 1 BBY forA New Hope.[28] Later, the2025 reference bookStar Wars: Galactic Atlas: Updated Edition states that thedestruction of Alderaan depicted inA New Hope occurred in 1 BBY and Battle of Yavin is dated as "0."[29]
