| Aug 19, 2016 at 8:33 | comment | added | Bardo | @DanShaffer Suposedly you cannot hyperdrive from a tractor beam, otherwise no one would be captured by it, as it could hyperjump away from the beam. I supose that a tractor beam have a ionic component that nullifies target ship's controls. | |
| Aug 19, 2016 at 7:52 | comment | added | Cherubel | @Fiksdal you are just fixated on the jumping word. it is a word to describe hoping from A to B. if there is something in that line the hyperdrive will pul you out of hyperspace as this is a built in feature. it is not possible to apear inside solid objects in SW using hyperdrives. | |
| Aug 19, 2016 at 5:50 | comment | added | user33616 | In ANH , Han talks about the necessity of plotting a path for a hyperspace jump, to avoid slamming into a star or something at light-speed. It's not teleportation. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 17:38 | comment | added | Fiksdal | I have asked another question to try and clear up the part about jumping. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 17:28 | comment | added | Fiksdal | By the way, to everybody: I'm not trying to argue with the answer or anything. I really don't mean to say that this is possible or anything. I'm just trying to understand it better. @NKCampbell | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 17:20 | comment | added | Fiksdal | @Cherubel I don't know much about this, but the Wookiepedia article on hyperspace says "jumping" in hyperspace is possible? | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 15:16 | comment | added | Hypnosifl | Another possibility is that the Death Star had gravity well projectors which have been shown to be able to pull ships out of hyperspace, so that any ship approaching its location in hyperspace would be yanked out before it could collide. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 13:53 | comment | added | NKCampbell | RoTJ shows a Super Star Destroyer crashing into the death star with pretty much no effect on the operational status of the station | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 13:40 | comment | added | Dan Shaffer | The station may be moving, but you don't have to come from across the galaxy. Say you are a few miles away, and are being tractor beamed into it. Do a hyperspace jump for a few miles, you'll know exactly where it will be. Suicide, but still. While at it, can hyperspace break a tractor beam. Guess thats a different question. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 12:38 | comment | added | Cherubel | cant be done, move along. every object has a shadow in hyperspace. a nav computer detecting an object will in most instances drop you out of hyperspace intentionally to avoid such collisions. now if you are a suicide bomber you could prob hack the nav computer to disregard the safety protocols. in this instance you crash into the side of another object. there is no teleportation, jumps, blinks or anything else of the sort in SW universe. You would have to be EXTREMLY lucky to even get that done as the Death Star isn't a stationary object, it moves so Bardo has the correct answer. | |

| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:49 | comment | added | Fiksdal | Makes sense, but what if you were making a jump rather than traveling directly through hyperspace? | |

| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:44 | comment | added | Bardo | starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperspace/Legends "Hyperspace was an alternate dimension of space-time, similar to subspace or otherspace,[2] that was coterminous with realspace: each point in realspace was associated with a unique point in hyperspace. Essentially, a ship travelling galactic north in realspace as it jumped to hyperspace would travel north in hyperspace too. Every object in realspace, like stars or planets, also had a "shadow" in hyperspace at the same location it occupied in realspace." This explains that, in fact, you'll crash the Death Star Hyperspace shadow's surface. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:41 | comment | added | Bardo | Even assuming that (which I ever thought it's different), hit to a "vulnerable" part of the station, even knowing the location and the vessel internal plans, would be extremely difficult. If you don't hit a sensible spot, the impact effect is only a bit more damaging that if you hit the surface. | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:34 | comment | added | Fiksdal | From Wookiepedia: "jumping" from a specific point to another point without having to travel directly between them." | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:31 | comment | added | Bardo | Not in SW universe | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:28 | comment | added | Fiksdal | What about hyperspace jumps? Isn't that like teleportation? | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:27 | comment | added | Bardo | Hyperspace is not a teleportation it's travel at very high speed. Astronavigation has to be made prior to a jump to avoid crashing into planets, stars, blackholes. You also can crash into a space vessel or a tiny asteroid (which, obviously won't be able on the navigation charts), but the odds are infinitesimal | |
| Aug 18, 2016 at 10:16 | comment | added | Fiksdal | I may not be understanding hyperspace correctly, but why does it imply crashing into it from the outside? I was thinking you exit hyperspace so that you appear in the middle of the Death Star. | |
