      Even in universe I *could* see them adopting it after Return of the Jedi, with them viewing Yavin as the turning point and when the treasured Republic finally could return, with the largest swathing empire in history being toppled.
      However I could also see Operation Knightfall and/or the end of the Clone Wars as being significant enough for the calendar to be based around as well. Operation Knightfall had the most significant religion in galactic history ended over night, and in that same night, the end of the longest republic in history, and the rise of a new empire. The end of the clone wars could also fit as it was not only the first galactic war in a thousand years, it was on a scale almost inconceivable due to it causing a Civil War or at least tensions on almost every inhabited planet, making it larger than any galactic war between two armies could ever be. It was a battle of the culture and viewpoint of the galaxy, and it's end changed everything too.
      Sorry for the long post hahaha I just thought your comment was really interesting to think about, what events could be significant enough to have a calendar based around it in universe

      Hey I’ve got some really great news to share with you, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on a cross and resurrected on the third day so you may all have eternal life. If you believe and repent of your sins and put your faith and trust in Him as you would a parachute jumping off a plane at 25000 feet up in the air, He will give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift and I promise you, He will change your life forever as He did mine. He is the ONLY way to heaven and He loves you all. Please think deeply about this with urgency because this is your eternal life and soul, you don’t know when you could die, meaning you could die at any moment, so please consider this with all your heart. If anyone tells you that Jesus isn’t the only way, they are lying to you and they don’t care about your future.

    Thanks for the shoutout to the LS Sith! Honestly, the expansion or at times reexpansion of the Sith and their code during the TOR period to include more honorable, pragmatic, and at times light leaning Sith was my favorite part of the MMO. Very excited to see how the MMO ends, or if they'll keep it open ended in such a way that acknowledges player choice

      What Palpatine did with the empire was nationalization and authoritarian/dictatorial structures, those systems of government however stand seperate to political systems. Both Fascism as extreme Rightwing and Socialism as extreme leftwing were at times authoritarian. Hell, you could even say Centrism was Autocratic through the system of Monarchism.
      Beyond that, Palpatine only really started nationalization of key sectors after he took power, which in the original 1970's star wars was a critique to the rapid buildup and political intertwine of the military industrial complex in the US under president Richard Nixon due to the vietnam war

    I loved this series when it came. I always did like learning history. Even learning history from fictional worlds and factions. Plus I always loved learning how the Republic came to be. No matter how corrupt it can be. Like I've always told people, if I fought for the Republic during the Clone Wars, I would still fight for it. But after Order 66, I would resign. Because in the end, neither the Republic nor Separatists won.

    The most unrealistic part of Star Wars isn't the alien species, or the monoecology planets, or the Jedi/Sith, or the technology... it's the idea that a democracy this bloated and populated would last more than five minutes before devolving into civil war and chaos that would make Syria look stable.

      @@rushpatriot2866 absolutely. Coruscant is humanity's homeworld in Star Wars, and while the two timelines of real life and Star Wars are obviously different, Coruscant's original history is so legendary and mysterious that to imagine it as Earth in its very first days wouldn't be a significant stretch. The only differing factor would be the wars between the ancient humans and the Taungs, a species which gave rise to Mandalorian culture before humans took it up; but to address them, I would identify the Taungs with chimpanzees or gorillas, who, through some Planet of the Apes-esque circumstances, began a war with their more advanced human relatives. The Taungs are said to have been simian creatures, and while they purportedly had grey skin, flat faces, and tentacled heads, with so much of Coruscant's history shrouded in legend, it wouldn't be a stretch to think that they could have just been Planet of the Apes-style intelligent apes. Which would also mean that Mandalorian culture was made by intelligent chimpanzees.
