Michael Hopcroft Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster Maybe their drive tech wasn't up to intergalactic distances. It's hard to imagine drive tech that would be unless you want to spend several generations in flight (or have all-mechanical crews for whom the extended timeframe doesn't matter).

Maybe their drive tech wasn't up to intergalactic distances. It's hard to imagine drive tech that would be unless you want to spend several generations in flight (or have all-mechanical crews for whom the extended timeframe doesn't matter). "Point five past lightspeed." "Galactic Republic/Empire." Suuurrre you are. If you go back and watch the movies, the only time intersystem travel seems to take a significant amount of time was when the Millenium Falcon had to get from Hoth to Bespin... without the main hyperdrive working. All the rest of the trips seem to be very quick - a matter of a few hours, no more than a day or two at most. It's fast enough that even fighters with minimal facilites can make interstellar trips easily and pretty regularly. For example, the flight from Naboo and Coruscant can be made on a starship that seemed more similar to a bus than to a cruise ship. This implies you won't be onboard long enough for sleeping in a chair to be a serious problem. And Naboo is apparently pretty far out on the edge of the galaxy, since you have to pass Tatooine to get there from Coruscant and the other Core Words... and Tatooine is in the "Outer Rim Territories". So if you can cover half the width of the galaxy in no more than a day but cannot make a serious attempt to explore other galaxies implies a very isolated galaxy indeed. In the Expanded Universe, the Republic (pre-Empire) sent the Outbound Flight expedition to explore a nearby galaxy... but Palpatine sabotaged it in order to kill off the six Jedi Master who were on the expedition. I would guess his motive was that these Jedi Masters would have had a lot of prestige when they returned which would have made General Order 66 very difficult to apply to them.

Guest Celt Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Re: Make Your Own Motivational Poster This final shot of Empire Strikes Back seems to indicate they can travel pretty far fairly quickly if the Rebellion maintains a staging location and hospital ship outside the galaxy.
