Incorrect birth year for C3PO?

[tsairinius]

I noticed that C3PO's birth year (112BBY) in SWAPI occurred long before Darth Vader's (41.9BBY), which doesn't make sense since Anakin built C3PO.

Here's C3PO's data:

{
    "name": "C-3PO", 
    "height": "167", 
    "mass": "75", 
    "hair_color": "n/a", 
    "skin_color": "gold", 
    "eye_color": "yellow", 
    "birth_year": "112BBY", 
    "gender": "n/a", 
    "homeworld": "http://swapi.dev/api/planets/1/", 
    "films": [
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/1/", 
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/2/", 
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/3/", 
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/4/", 
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/5/", 
        "http://swapi.dev/api/films/6/"
    ], 
    "species": [
        "http://swapi.dev/api/species/2/"
    ], 
    "vehicles": [], 
    "starships": [], 
    "created": "2014-12-10T15:10:51.357000Z", 
    "edited": "2014-12-20T21:17:50.309000Z", 
    "url": "http://swapi.dev/api/people/2/"
}

I don't know C3PO's exact birth year, but according to Wookiepedia, it's "Prior to 32 BBY".

Thanks for a thorough data check! I will admit of not being very good with SW calendars, but BBY format goes "backwards", right? Meaning that 112BBY is earlier than 32BBY (since it is counting time Before Battle of Yavin). Please correct me if I am wrong here 🙂

Oh, sorry, now that I am reading it for the second time I actually realised what is an issue. Do you have a good suggestion for a date @tsairinius ?

According to Wookiepedia now (https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/C-3PO) the correct birthday is Between 34 BBY and 32BBY
