Not to split hairs, but it was a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, so it is reenacting, presuming the time continuum has a linear flow.
I work in a building full of nerds (not me of course) and within 30 second jaunt from my office I can find a light sabre, an x-wing fighter, a tie-fighter, the star ship enterprise, a communicator, and a sword in the stone (that is in my office, but King Arthur is absolutely real and will be back!)
