The Mandalorian Season 3 Is The First Live-Action Stars Wars Project To Acknowledge The Galactic Standard Calendar

The Galactic Standard Calendar is very similar to the regular calendars that we use here on Earth, but there are some differences. Also known as the Coruscant Calendar, it was the main calendar used following the events of the Battle of Yavin in “Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope.” Historians have used different events as epochs for “Star Wars” calendars throughout the years, but this is arguably the most famous example.

Weeks in the Galactic Standard Calendar comprise five days — Primeday, Centaxday, Taungsday, Zhellday, and Benduday — and a total of seven weeks make up one standard calendar month. Each day consists of 24 hours, the same as our own, and 60 seconds constitute one minute. Additionally, the Galactic Standard Calendar only contains 10 months.

These weren’t the only tiny little tidbits of “Star Wars” lore that cropped up on “The Mandalorian” Season 3, Episode 3, either. Listen closely, and you’ll also hear mentions of ecumenopolis planets and Coruscant’s Galactic Museum, which are mundane details that invite viewers to do some digging into the history of the galaxy far, far away.
