good to see you have better things to do

[Nick Goodall]

The most accurate you can really be is "A long time ago" (in a galaxy Far, Far away)

[telboy]

that is a good point though...."a long time ago"?

Is it set in the past or the future?

You would think with the technology that it was set in the future, but the dialogue says otherwise.

Hmmmm

was a long time ago, but in a galaxy far far away, i.e... not everything develops at the same rate everywhere ;p
