ref. sheet 4/4: Sith pureblood Akilah belongs to @ladytano. She has a really cool design and I was excited to draw her.

Happy May the 4th everyone!

[mooonjockeys]

ref. sheet 3/4: Nes’Kyle, ex. military & detective. I know where are plenty of species to choose from in Star Wars canon, but I went ahead and made him one of my own alien designs^^’

if you can make ocs, you can make own species right?! seems like sound logic xD

[mooonjockeys]

ref. sheet 2/4: Zabrak diplomat Zamara Taro. She has yellow skin in older concepts, but I played around with color and settled on this *.*

[mooonjockeys]

Galactic Standard Time Measurement

60 Seconds = 1 minute

60 minutes = 1 hour

24 hours = 1 day

Galactic Standard Calendar

5 days = 1 week

7 weeks = 1 month

35 days = 1 month

368 days = 1 year

10 months + 3 Fete (Festival) weeks + 3 holidays = 1 year

Fete/Festival Weeks

New Year Fete Week = first five days of the new year (takes place before the first month)

Festival of Life =  five days between the sixth and seventh months. It was marked by parties, get-togethers, and gift-giving.

Festival of Stars =five days between the ninth and tenth months of the year that celebrates interstellar space travel. It was marked by vacations to other worlds most often.

Days of the Week

Primeday (first day of the week)

Centaxday (second day)

Taungsday (third day)

Zhellday (fourth day)

Benduday (fifth/last day of the week)

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc. 

Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.

NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things

it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete

viewports are the windows on ships

not a plane; ship or speeder

it’s not steel; it’s durasteel

books are rare; holorecords or datapads

it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel

caf is the equivalent of coffee

it’s not paper it’s a flimsi

medcenter is a hospital

Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe

[askshivanulegacy]

This is brilliant!  Here’s another:

It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid

It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit).  You normally comm someone instead of call them.

Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives.  The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).

[roane72]

I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.

[deducecanoe-deactivated20161213]

Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.

[sugardaddylukeskywalker]

I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:

bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkit   motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?) 

Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.

[freshbrainss]

I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!

[inquisitorius-sin-bin]

I can’t find a canon instance of it but

refrigerator = conservator

[pomrania]

I just know I’ll be needing some of those in the future.

@writebetterstarwars maybe add those to your list?

[mooonjockeys]

looks like the two got into trouble ...
