Forum:KB:Dates in Shmi Skywalker's journal (Tatooine Ghost)

I recently decided to re-read Tatooine Ghost, and I realized that the dates provided in Shmi Skywalker Lars' journal are quite puzzling. For example, the entry bearing the date 17:30:04 says "Today you’re eleven years old, Anakin." That means 17:30:04 refers to some day in 31 BBY/4 GrS. However, the standard format in the GrS notation is [Year]:[Month]:[Day], which certainly doesn't seem to be the case here. And even if the year 31 BBY does indeed correspond to 04 GrS (the last number in the entry's date), there are only twelve months in a standard year, so it is impossible that either 17 or 30 corresponds to a particular month. (And we know anyway that Anakin had his birthday on the fourth month of the year.)

If anyone can help me understand how Shmi's calendar works, I'd be glad to hear it. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:31, June 7, 2013 (UTC)
