The 1920s was "a long time ago" and the Andromeda galaxy is "a galaxy far, far away." Maybe the original trilogy took place 100 years ago in the next galaxy over. - eviltoast

    That really depends on what you count as a Galaxy. If any cluster of stars that is gravitationally bound together counts, then there is a tiny (10,000 stars) galaxy that is orbiting The Milky Way that’s only about 10,000 light years away from us, which happens to be closer than the center of our own galaxy.
