0 BBY

0 BBY (before Battle of Yavin),Star Wars: Galactic Atlas also known as 0,Star Wars: Timelines was a period of time that, together with 0 ABY, made up a single year.The Star Wars Book dates the events of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi to 19 years before and 34 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope. It also states that the events of Episode III and Episode VIII occurred 53 years apart. Since Star Wars: Galactic Atlas dates the events of Episode IV to 0 BBY and 0 ABY, the combination of those two time periods must make up a single year. That year was also known as 3277 LY according to the Lothal Calendar and year 7977 in the C.R.C. calendar.
