Can they travel outside the galaxy in Star Wars?

The Starhunter’s Intergalactic Menagerie made trips to and from the outer galaxies, capturing rare animals for sale. At some point during the height of the Galactic Empire, the Imperial Senate issued Intergalactic Passports to allow the owner to travel throughout the six known galaxies.

Why is there no intergalactic travel in Star Wars?

As a supplement to Petersaber’s answer, there is also something of a constraint on travelling outside of the SW galaxy, and it is called the Hyperspace disturbance beyond the edge of the galaxy. This is an energy barrier that apparently makes travelling outside the galaxy impossible.

Has anyone left the Star Wars galaxy?

There was at one time an expedition, led by the Jedi order, that tried to send a colony ship to another galaxy. The ship never left the galaxy, because it was destroyed in the Unknown Regions aftet Darth Sidious ordered the Chiss admiral Thrawn to destroy it.

How fast is hyperspace in Star Wars?

A light year in Star Wars equals about 9.5 quadrillion meters, so a ship in hyperspace could travel at least about 6 quintillion meters per hour.

When did hyperspace travel become possible?

At some point in the ancient past of the galaxy, an ancestral species unlocked the secrets of traveling through hyperspace and opened the galaxy up to exploration. Hyperspace travel was mastered as early as four millennia before the Cold War, as demonstrated by the existence of hyperspace sextants from that era.

Is hyperspace travel possible in the Galactic Republic?

In the early days of the Galactic Republic, hyperspace travel between the Greater Seswenna and the Core Worlds required astrogating by hyperspace beacons, with numerous reversions to realspace necessary to ensure safe passage. Nevertheless, access to hyperspace travel proved to be vital to the Republic’s expansion.

How does hyperspace work in Star Wars?

The physics of Star Wars. Hyperspace is, in theory, a set of extra dimensions beyond the three that we experience daily. These extra dimensions are able to connect distant points in real space. This allows for faster-than-light speeds (in a sense). For example, consider the flight from Tatooine to Alderaan.

Should there be more galaxies in the Star Wars universe?

Star Wars has many different sentient races, and the way they are presented suggests that most planets are host to only one of them (some exceptions like naboo). This strongly leads me to believe there should actually be more galaxies in the Star Wars universe (hehe).
