Mysteries of hyperspace?

Author
Time

I was reading the Star Wars YT-1300 Complete Reference Manual and it mentioned that their are some aspects of hyperspace that remain a mystery aside from those well-established facts acknowledged by all competent astrophysicists.

What could be one of the main mysteries? I can’t think of any.

Sounds more like lazy writers not wanting to deal with various conflicting fictional physics concepts, contradictory stories, and whatnot more so than an intentional, well thought out mystery to me.

There are no astrophysicists in Star Wars.

I understand your skepticism but remember. Star Wars is like our society only much more advanced. Astrophysicists always existed in Star Wars; we just never heard or saw them because they had nothing to do with the main story.

Why I love science in Star Wars is probably due to my mental illness.

Star Wars shouldn’t really have modernity in it, IMO. Modernity in the sense of being familiar to the 20th/21st century. That’s one big thing I’m not a huge fan of in the New EU.

Scientists are cool, but they should be Galileo or Tycho Brahe types, not Michio Kaku types. Schools are cool, but they should be more like ancient academies or tutors, not like the formal Prussian education system. Diners/restaurants are cool, but they should look more like medieval taverns than a 50s diner.

What we see in the OT isn’t that the galaxy is anything like our society. It’s a lot more like pre-industrial societies, culturally and economically, but with sci-fi technology. Like if you gave Rome or Medieval Japan spaceships and advanced medicine.

I’d agree with this, while clarifying that Star Wars is at its best when ‘modern’ technologies and techniques are merely inferred rather than showcased. Like, I’m sure the galaxy is brimming with technologists and scientists making advances in their fields, but Star Wars operates in the arena of ancient recontextualized mythology rather than a future-predicting techno-dystopia.

You probably don’t recognize me because of the red arm.

Space aliens! 😃

The Purrgil may now get a mention, and hopefully some further explanation and detailing in the coming Ahsoka series?

Those space-faring whale-like creatures that appear in the “Rebels” animated series, will likely feature in some sort of reasoning as to what happened with both Ezra and Thrawn?

Oh, shit! They’re going to link hyperspace travel to the Force, or force sensitive Purrgil, aren’t they?

I really hope they not do that.

The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.

Search your feelings… you know it to be true!

I hope not as well, Emre.
 

At this time, I am simply hoping they come up with a reasonable explanation of what happened to Ezra and Thrawn at the end of Rebels with the Purrgil, for in the Ahsoka series.

Hyperspace is the gateway to the midi-chlorian microverse.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

― Leo Tolstoy
