Talk:0 BBY
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
I recently deleted an entry under the events section that referred to the end of the Great Jedi Purge due to the death of Obi-Wan Kenobi. On second thoughts i should have mentioned it here before i removed the entry (sorry about that), so here it is in discussion now.
I don't think the Purge really had an 'official end'. There were still a handful of Jedi alive even after Obi-Wan's death, most notably Yoda. Wasn't the Empire always on the lookout for Jedi and force-sensitives?
If people insist on putting an 'end date' to the Purge, i would have thought it would have been many years before 0 BBY, when or if Palpatine advised Vader to stop hunting Jedi.
Is there a real source that specifically states the Purge ended in 0 BBY? Azizlight 05:13, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- You are correct. And EU sources I've been investigating clearly point to it ending far before that (indeed, Vader tells a Jedi in 1 BBY that the Purge is over. ) QuentinGeorge 06:43, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

[edit] There is no such thing as a "Year Zero"
- Sorry, in the galaxy far, far away there is. 1 BBY is the year before the Battle of Yavin, 0 BBY/ABY is the year OF the Battle of Yavin, 1 ABY is the year AFTER the battle of Yavin. There's no 0 BC/0 AD on Earth, but that's irrelevant here. QuentinGeorge 05:09, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
- No matter the galaxy you are in, there is no such thing as a "year zero". In the line of time, 0 is a point. It has no extension. Therefore, there is no such thing as a "day zero", "month zero", "year zero", "century zero", "millennium zero", etc. Zero is the frontier between the year -1 and the year +1. It is only a point in time and this is a matter of Mathematics, which are the same in all galaxies. If the existence of 0 BBY is canon, then canon is mathematically wrong. -—Unsigned comment by 213.97.15.73 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Lack of births
I am still curious as to why or how there are no noted births in this year. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:56, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
- Considering that by now in the post original trilogy EU would include atleast some people born then, I can only guess. Perhaps the destructions of Alderaan and the Death Star caused some sort of mass feedback that caused multiple miscarriages? -- SFH 01:41, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
- That's what I thought too, but is that the reason? -- Riffsyphon1024 02:02, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Are 0 BBY and 0 ABY the same year
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 0 BBY and 0 ABY be the same year? —Unsigned comment by Liberi Fatali37 (talk • contribs).
- Nope, not according to the New Essential Chronology. It lists events in both years. And sign your comments. 4~ is not hard. -Fnlayson 06:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- If 0 BBY "was known as Year 35 after the Great ReSynchronization" and 1 ABY "was known as Year 36 after the Great Resynchronization", then what happened to 0 ABY? Could it be that there's one year zero that is split into BBY / ABY? Or are they both full years, and the articles got the GRs numbers wrong? -- Xerxes 13:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, they are the same year. The Death Star was destroyed in Year 35 after Great ReSynchronization, savy? After that, they counted the years from GRS for a while, for about another 20 years. Then they decided to count from the destruction of the Death Star. BUT WITH ATTENTION! If they had set the date of destruction to Month 1 and Day 1 of the new year, that would completely messed up the counting of days, especially for the records made from 0 ABY till the introduction of the new calendar. So they decided to rename 35 GRS to year zero, and they distinguished the events of this year the following way: things which happened in 0 BBY happened in that year but before the battle of Yavin 4, things which happened in 0 ABY also took place in the very same year, but after the battle. The months, weeks and days remained in place. The next year, 36 GRS became 1 ABY in its full length. At least that is how I figured it out... Domlith 14:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think that is correct... Note also the use of "0 BY" or just "BY" meaning 35 GrReS (0 BBY + 0 ABY). Charlii 22:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GrS dates
What is the source of GrS dates in 0 BBY/ABY? It was discussed somewhere, but I can't find it.Darth Morrt 12:51, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- They are easy to derive given the GRS dates for ESB events in the old Adventure Journals and the GRS dates given for the Clone Wars in the new HolonetNews articles. QuentinGeorge 12:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
- I don't have any Adventure Journal 8(. They are very hard to find. Is there a fix day date for the Battle of Yavin or just the 3rd month is sure?Darth Morrt 14:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
