Hello, thank you so much for answering my questions! I know Star Wars takes place «a long ago in a galaxy far, far away» but when exactly and what galaxy? Is it our galaxy?

Awww it’s
my pleasure. Thank YOU for sending them ❤

In relation
to our time and location? Who knows. There are theories but nothing concrete. And
I hope we will have them confirmed (by George anyway) because making the GFFA a
real place would be a disservice to the story, imo.

But if you
really want an answer, there’s a comic book called Into the great Unknown
(2004) where Han crashes on a mysterious planets and meets a Dr. Jones. It’s
never openly states but the comic writer confirms the planet is Earth and the
doctor is Indiana Jones (-__-). With that knowledge some fans created a
timeline linking our planet to the GFFA and according to that timeline Anakin
is born in 1763 (Earth’s time)and the clone wars begins in 1782. You can check
the entire timeline here.

This comic
was never considered canon even when it was released so it’s up to you whether
you embrace it or not.
