If you've ever taken a look at Wookieepedia, you've probably seen events and dates in the Star Wars saga marked as BBY and ABY. But when did this dating system come into existence?

This week Adam and James delve into time itself, unravelling everything from the origins of BBY/ABY to how a galaxy-wide Republic makes sense of hundreds of calendar systems.
