| Oct 20, 2023 at 15:57 | comment | added | Andres F. | @PaulD.Waite I'm not sure I understand. In the real universe, those distances between stars required to sustain humanoid life are more or less constant. They don't change. We know some things (like stars too close) cannot sustain humanoid life, now or ever. If Star Wars is in our universe, it must respect those constants. I'm saying it doesn't need to though, because Star Wars is fantasy, and it follows different rules. | |
| Oct 20, 2023 at 11:08 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | @AndresF. humanoid life was much tougher a long, long time ago. Those "minimum distances for stars to sustain humanoid life" excuses didn't wash back then. We all just got on with it, and we turned out fine! | |
| Oct 20, 2023 at 1:18 | comment | added | Andres F. | @PaulD.Waite presumably it's the same universe though, with minimum distances for stars to sustain humanoid life. I think that's a red herring: the real answer is that Star Wars is space fantasy, and ships travel at the Speed Of Plot Necessity. | |

| Apr 9, 2022 at 6:40 | comment | added | Valorum | There's no help in the Season 2 novelisation. It just repeats Mando's lines that they can't use hyperspace. | |
| Dec 16, 2021 at 13:32 | comment | added | Zeiss Ikon | BTW, the same thing came up with Millennium Falcon in Empire with their disabled hyperdrive -- they had to make it from Hoth to Bespin in normal space, but didn't take lifetimes to do it. | |

| Jan 24, 2021 at 13:59 | comment | added | Paul D. Waite | “it takes 4 years to get from Earth to our nearest stellar neighbor” — so what? Star Wars in set in a galaxy far, far away, where for all we know the stars might not be very far, far away from each other. | |

| Nov 8, 2020 at 22:08 | comment | added | Valorum | The writers seem oblivious to the difference between sublight and hyperspace and the distances and speeds involved. | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 17:51 | comment | added | Max | They explained that. The Falcon had a backup Class 10 that allowed them to limp in a few weeks. | |
| Nov 7, 2020 at 13:36 | comment | added | FlaStorm32 | In the same way, the Falcon could go from the Hoth system to Bespin without hyperdrive. (Empire Strikes Back film) | |

| Nov 7, 2020 at 3:02 | comment | added | lucasbachmann | I can't speak to what John Favreau knows or how fast sub light engines are. But absolutely everyone involved in the Disney Trilogy especially the Last Jedi have no clue about interstellar distances. | |
