Here is a test of this idea I had to illustrate Starkiller Base as a literal hyperspace cannon. Basically it ejects hyperspace into real space, which helps explain its ability to travel across the galaxy so quickly. And since hyperspace is effected by gravity, this helps explain how the “laser” splits apart to hit multiple planets at once. It also helps relate it more to the First Order’s other hyperspace-related technologies. I know red is a more intimidating color, but I thought I would play around with what it could look like.
