RE Current year: That's fine. I was just wondering how long after for my character's age but I guess it doesn't matter. Though now that I think about it, the current year should be common knowledge unless they use a completely different Calendar or we're in some weird pocket dimension. 
So far my background idea is, I joined a group of explorers who were checking out a little known planet. Turns out there was a hidden ancient Jedi Temple there that they actually wanted to loot. Since she didn't know what they were doing, so an innocent, the defenses killed all them and left her stranded. When she returned to the ship she found that it had been damaged. With no parts to fix it she was stuck on the planet. Over the next few years she explored the Temple and found Holocrons of teachings from Jedi Masters. She was a quick study and soon learned the ways of the force. Eventually she had a vision. Through the vision, she was led to an unknown part of the temple where she found a crashed ship with a skeleton of a Jedi. When she looked inside, a recording suddenly started playing that told any Jedi who found his remains, to please take what they needed from his equipment and complete the quest [Leave that to the DM] that they didn't have a chance to finish. So she took the lighsaber and some parts from a crashed ship to fix her ship. Soon she was on her way but she had some engine trouble and ended up on the Rock. Now she is looking for clues to where she was to go next. So far, she's tried to search her feelings with the force but she hasn't learned much [see below].
[OoC: The recording she saw when she found the ship could have been either a recording or actually force ghost. That's up to the DM. As for, Searching her Feelings, I'm thinking that maybe she saw a vision telling her to find a Droid (or something) named, "Long." Droids always have interesting hidden information hidden inside of them. ]
