dreamt that a new star wars show revealed that earth exists in that galaxy and that the “a long time ago” part of the intro was referring to like, the 1800s. the amca crew grumbled but accepted it because it also introduced Evil Padme

okay so hear me out
Episode 1 has an Easter egg showing some of the aliens from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in the Galactic Senate, and a promotional web article (which was canon at the time) included a line that "Senator Greblieps" (Speilberg spelled backwards) from Brodo Asogi (the name of E.T.'s planet from the novelization) was sponsoring an expedition to another galaxy, implying that this was the ship that E.T. arrived on. The E.T. novelization gives the approximate distance that his ship traveled, which coincidentally is about the distance to the real-world Triangulum Galaxy. Therefore we can assume that the Star Wars galaxy is Triangulum. (We can also safely assume that the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy is Andromeda).
As for the time period, a non-canon story from the Star Wars Tales anthology comic shows Han and Chewie making a blind hyperspace jump and getting carried out of their galaxy to Earth, where the Millennium Falcon crash-lands in the Pacific Northwest in the early 1800s, where Han is killed by Natives and Chewie becomes the inspiration for Sasquatch. (126 years later the wreckage is found by Indiana Jones.) Even though this is non-canon we can still use it to date the events of the original trilogy to around 1815.
shove me in a locker now
