In all honesty, Star Wars says: "In a galaxy, far far away". So them having lasers and such, it's pretty understandable.

RWBY takes place in...the contemporary era, but not our contemporary era (obviously). Exact date is unknown, but it's in their equivalent of that era. We have never been given Remnant's Calendar or anything similar, so things like Current Year, number of Months, how many days per week/month/year it has, and stuff, all is speculation.
