I thought the “on this day” comment was specifically talking about the Empire being defeated on Lothall, not specifically the whole galaxy? Anyway that’s how I took it when I watched it, but I could be misremembering something key.
Looks like you're right. Full speech:
On this day several years ago, the Empire was defeated thanks to the heroic efforts of Commander Ezra Bridger, who sacrificed himself to liberate our world.
This monument we dedicate here today stands in recognition of Commander Bridger and the rebel leaders who fought so valiantly on our behalf.
May their courage and commitment never be forgotten.They're still commemorating a widely known and admittedly recent culturally dynamic event... The damn plaque likely has the fuckin' hour on it, FFS, but he still chose to go with "several years ago"? 🤦🏼♂️ I've watched this episode the times now (hoping to get two friends into the series, separately), and it didn't get any easier to explain. Just sloppy. 😬
Yeah I thought the same. They're talking specifically about the event that happened on Lothal. Still not sure why they didn't just say a specific number instead of just "a few years ago" but that was my understanding.
