0 BBY (before Battle of Yavin),[6] also known as 0, was a period of time in the 'ABY-BBY' dating system during the Imperial Era[7] centered around the Battle of Yavin.[6] Despite its very brief coverage of time,[7] 0 BBY correlated[6] to the year 3277 LY according to the Lothal Calendar[4] and year 7977 in the C.R.C. calendar.[3]

Behind the scenes[]
Following the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it was noted by sources like Star Wars: Galactic Atlas that its events occurred in 0 BBY.[6] However, with the release of Star Wars: Timelines, Lucasfilm has pushed its events back to 1 BBY. Instead, only the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope occur in 0 BBY. The time period is simply referred to as "0" without any BBY distinction in Timelines.[7] The "0 BBY" name, however, did re-emerge in the Star Wars 100 Objects reference book.[25]
