Star Wars’ standard measurement of time explained.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Ahsoka episode 6 features several references to a unit of time in Star Wars, a "rotation." The Star Wars galaxy is a vast one, which naturally means beings all across the galaxy need some kind of common measurement of time. This typically seems to be a "rotation," a term that's never been defined but seems increasingly important.
Ahsoka has used the term "rotation" on several occasions, and the end of Ahsoka episode 6 saw its most important use to date. Grand Admiral Thrawn's forces will leave the planet Peridea in just three rotations, meaning this is how long Ahsoka has to stop him. But just how long is a rotation, and how much time does Ahsoka have to somehow sabotage the Eye of Sion?
A Rotation Is A Planetary Cycle - But Which Planet's Cycle? In Star Wars, a rotation is a planet’s rotation around its sun, though it doesn’t specify which planet demarcates the stand measurement of a rotation. Viewers have generally believed it's equivalent to a standard day on Earth. It's Likely Star Wars' Rotations Are Set By Coruscant Because the Core World of Coruscant was the capital of both the Republic and the Empire, rotations in Star Wars are likely based on its rotations around the sun.
