Did Ahsoka just make a major lore mistake...?

Ahsoka just introduced a new idea - that there are more Galaxies, some of which will be very relevant to future stories. We'll talk all that and more on today's Star Wars video!

When i saw the eye of sauron, my immediate thought was that it is a giant hyperspace ring. Perhaps once they find him, they will attach the chimera to the eye of sauron and bring it back to the star wars galaxy

[@tryorse8340]

It could be that, or maybe the eye of Sion needs the strong boost not for itself, but for the chimera if that is what will happen.

@@Sephiroth144 I definitely took the purgles being on the map as, they consistently travel this route between galaxies, and its how the ancient species from another galaxy discovered the route in the first place. They followed the purgles, curious where the hell they were going. So it leads to Thrawn because Ezra used the force to go as far as he could, with Purgles. As for the puzzles and the hidden knowledge -- Night Sister magic is unique to them, extremely so, so it stands to reason they could be an offshoot / descendant / learned from whoever came from the other galaxy. They had knowledge of the route back to the other galaxy, of which they obviously did NOT want others to know, so, hide it in a hard to find, hard to decipher way.

[@Asian_Boi_242]

Seeing the Purgil on the Holo Map leading to the other Galaxy makes me believe that the Route they’re using to breach the Galactic Barrier is one found and/or made by the Purgil. Seeing how Purgil are just Space Whales, it would make sense for them to migrate Between Galaxies from time to time.

It seems like they’re meant to be following a path the Purgill use to migrate around. If the Purgill have been around a lot longer than any known civilizations, they’ve had ample time to figure out safe passageways to migrate through. If I’m not mistaken, early hyperspace travel was developed after studying the Purgill, so the idea of following in their footsteps isn’t new in the SW universe.

[@timothymcdonough7609]

are there many canon references to the Purgils outside of Rebels (and now Ahsoka)? I've read a decent amount of the High Republic series which deals a lot with establishing hyperspace routes to the Outer Rim, and even has some hyperspace tech that the villains use which is different than traditional hyperdrives (they refer to it as The Ways and it's described to even appear differently than the blue mist of typical hyperspace). It allows the villains to land surprise and sneak attacks that would otherwise be impossible with traditional hyperspace tech. Long way to say, I'm not aware of any earlier references to hyperspace tech, but the Purgils are never mentioned in High Republic.

[@SVJuJooGuppy]

This is exactly what I thought based on the evidence presented. It makes the most sense. Otherwise, this would be another prophecy built around random events that shouldnt be known really, which I have dealt with at times but I don't like them nearly as much.

[@shaunw9092]

Interesting take on the Purgill and there may ultimately be truth to it. But in the High Republic, many of the established hyperspace lanes in later SW were originally mapped by the Nihil using a very old hyperspace explorer essentially being held hostage (Mari San Tekka, an ancestor of Max von Syndow's charcter Lors from Episode 7).

[@astra6640]

​@@timothymcdonough7609 While you're correct, I don't think any of that is necessarily contradictory. Some early hyperdrives could easily have been inspired by them, with the inspiration then simply being forgotten or reduced to obscure myths and legends. I imagine there's plenty of that kind of thing in real history. To be clear, I'm neither disagreeing nor arguing - I just think it could go either way and still make sense.

Looking at the Eye of Sion, I originally thought it was a large ship, since it looks like a large hyperspace ring. However, a second idea has come to my mind in that it may be a Hyperspace Gate. In Legends, Dathomir was tied to Infinity Gates built by the ancient Kwa, and I can't help but wonder if that is its purpose.

[@fredoflih7373]

I was under the impression that Hyperspace travel works totally differently in the new canon than in the old, that gravity wells in the old canon (Legends/Expanded Universe) impeded hyperspace travel and that was why hyperspace routes were used and why mapping was so necessary (thus, groups like the Hapes Consortium could be relatively closed off from the rest of the Galaxy despite being in the middle of the Empire or Han Solo's boast about doing the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs being evidence of his skills as a navigator in a region where denser gravities prevented a more direct route) but that hyperspace anomalies were largely an issue outside the galactic disk with only a couple viable routes to extragalactic clusters such as the Rishi Maze).

Given how the othe galaxy had images depicting purgill surrounding it, it leads me to believe that the purgill are one of the canon reasons travel outside the known galaxy isn't done more often. The lore on those creatures says that they disrupt hyperspace lanes, ao maybe them encircling anotber galaxy explains a few things. Perhaps that's another reason that ship being built for the journey is also so big, to allow the purgill to fly through it once dropping out of hyperspace before making 1 last jump into the new galaxy

[@mightheal]

They only disrupt hyperspace because they're living creatures wandering around in hyperspace and you can randomly fly into one.

This would allow our heroes and villains to both exit, and return, at will, on their own ships. It also explains the bright spot on the starmap, being the location that the ring is "anchored".

Basically, travel for long enough along a straight line and you WILL hit something eventually. At the speeds hyperdrives operate at - where you might be travelling at literally millions of times the speed of light - this eventual statistical certainty becomes an imminent danger to your ship, unless you are on a well-charted route with the major hazards removed or accounted for.

I mostly like how the new canon is handling hyperspace and adapting some of the Legends material. For one, it seems like the Force has a much deeper connection to hyperspace than I ever saw in Legends. Also, the idea that certain creatures (like the purgil and the lothwolves) have biological hyperdrives that are probably deeply connected to the Force is really cool. People complain that things like the midiclorians lessen the mystery of the Force (and the way that it was used in TPM, I kinda agree), but all of this Force-Hyperspace connection just deepens that mystery IMO. It seems that Ezra and Thrawn being taken to another galaxy by the purgil is new canon's version of the Outbound Flight, or something similar to that, and I think that's a really interesting way to approach that particular part of Thrawn's story from Legends. We'll have to see how it pans out before I have a final verdict on whether it's better than the Legends versoin of events or not, but it seems to be off to a good start.

This whole other galaxy thing is absolutely fascinating to me. It's got me the most excited I've been about Star Wars for a lil while.

[@zesherm]

I believe that the eye of sion will work like a sort of jump gate in the sojourn, essentially it will jump half the distance and act as a accelerator and beacon, esspecially in the outro you can see the golden line going trough a ring similar to the eye of sion

[@MCLegend13]

My absolute first thought when I heard other galaxy is that the Vong are still out there and are waiting to make their Canon Debut.

[@TheBritishBitsEXTRA]

Hugely terrifying but must be done right.

[@Azriel637]

I always liked the Vagueness of the statement "Had never been heard from again." It leaves open the possibility that they just found something so cool that they didn't want to come back.

[@shadowlordalpha]

I would love it if this ship was designed to clear blocks and this leads to the Yuuzhon Vong invasion as they are now able to access the galaxy

[@Sc0ts]

I hope next episode we see the Eye of Sion in use without us having to wait longer

[@shitpostingsandwhich]

I think it's interesting that they specifically mention the hyperdrive unit in the episode comes from a SSD. I guess you need some pretty serious propulsion to make extra-galactic voyages.

[@user-yq9im9dk9z]

But isn't SSD slower than Millennium Falcon? 😂 In fact bigger ships have slower hyperdrives in SW lore.

[@EE-dj7et]

@@user-yq9im9dk9z Bigger ships are slower in hyperspace. The class 1 class 2 etc. is a rating of speed, not hyperdrive power. Put the Falcon's hyperdrive in an SSD, it will barely go into hyperspace. Put the hyperdrive of an SSD into a smaller ship, it will go VERY fast.

[@sortascouseace]

​@@user-yq9im9dk9zI think it's just simply a torque thing over a speed thing, bigger things need much more energy to move, the falcon is tiny compared to even a normal Star destroyer so it has a better power to weight ratio than a SSD would have this it's faster

[@DrAnarchy69]

The ring engine reminds me of the cover of the Outbound Flight novel

[@MarvinHartmann452]

It wouldn't be the first one Filloni makes. He bragged about having done it without George noticing.

[@spugesdu]

A Star Destroyer Hyperspace ring is just about the coolest new vehicle introduced to Star Wars in forever. The design of this show is next-level!

[@connormchale8415]

Somthing I noticed when watching the first 2 episodes was a few parallels with Treasure Planet, namely with the map being a sphere that rotates around, then projects a dome-like holographic map. Both end up allowing you to travel the universe easily to a lost leader. Just what I noticed, wondered if amyone else did

[@bipedalspecies2086]

I think it could be for another few of reasons. I think maybe it is based on the alien technology and they make everything bigger or to make it a mobile jump point that opens the lane or you could fit a few ships in that big space to jump with you if only your ship can make the jump.

[@eddieford9373]

Funny thing about the term hyperspace. Hyper means a lot of, so hyper space should have more space and work in the opposite way it does in sci fi. Like entering hyperspace should make a journey longer, not shorter. It should be called hypospace.

[@realDubb]

can someone explain where the map came from? :-)

[@TWD77710]

The best theory is that the map was created by the ancient intergalactic race to track both their own path from their home galaxy ("Peridea") and the migration routes of the purrgil (which connects the Purrgil to this ancient race). As to how Morgan would know of this map well clearly the ancient race is tied to Nightsisters (possibly explaining their Magik and knowledge of them in fact they might even be their ancestors). As to how Morgan would know Thrawn is in that galaxy well clearly she knows Purrgil took him away so she decides to use that map (also apparently she is in contact with him so he could've told her).

[@realDubb]

@@TWD77710 cheers, I was afraid I'd missed something but had assumed something along those lines! I appreciate the (in theory) confirmation!

[@adamleblanc5294]

My guess is that it's going to be something similar to a wormhole (maybe with a star wars/force twist). On the map, there was little dot at the edge of the SW galaxy makes me think that when they hit that spot, they will be somewhat instantly transported to the new galaxy.

[@alexlehman5764]

This video makes me wonder if you will ever cover high republic content from comics and books. (Was reminded of the Legacy Run Disaster)

[@kingfishe76]

use of the Force for hypserspace travel is hopefully something they'll dip their toes in (Chiss 'Skywalkers' and all that).

[@The_Viktor_Reznov]

The shadows in hyperspace being more densely packed would explain why it takes shorter time to travel longer distances - everything is just closer together in hyperspace. It's a "smaller" space.

[@mississaugaicedogs]

The idea of the Galactic Barrier at the Rim is super difficult to cross reminds me of the Voyager programs worries about crossing the edge of our solar system and how unknown it would be. Voyager 2 is at the edge of the heliosphere and its a lot easier to than originally predicted to cross. but we still don't know much

[@kylemelinkovich8675]

The barrier doesn't get talked about much. I didn't know anything about it until now. Thank you for bringing this to light for me.

[@ATRStormUnit]

Man, imagine them finding the remnants of the Outbound flight project on their way in Ahsoka.

[@DocFather]

My thought is that the path shown, may be a hyperspace route that allows for travel between the galaxies. Perhaps one created by the beings that built the map ring.

[@joehonsberger24]

Always happy to see the WEG Otherspace art!

[@ianburke3826]

The high republic novels do a lot of explaining of the hyperspace lanes AND how they’re used

[@MrChupacabra555]

2:29 I always wondered about this scene; Where were they? Outside the 'Star Wars Galaxy', looking down on it, or looking towards a 'nearby' galaxy?

[@bourras3220]

we have to consider that the map is also giving them a safe hyperspace route to where thrawn is, and they mentionned that if the coordinates were not perfectly accurate they would be lost in the infinte void that exists between galaxys

[@STRAKAZulu]

My first thought seeing the *Eye of Sion* was “They’re recreating Outbound Flight.

[@SigTheSauceMan]

Before even getting into it, I already remember that it was said that lightspeed travel/hyperdrives were reverse-engineered from the Purgill. It's entirely possible that the Purgill are capable of lightspeed travel superior to that of man-made hyperdrives, and potentially can escape the Galaxy.

[@RevanDenton]

I figured they learned about the outbound flight because it's canon thinks to Tims rewrites of the thrawn books. It's mentioned and the thrawn was directly involved with the project.

[@BladedFish]

Justin really out here putting "established hyperspace standards" and "the last jedi" in the same sentence like an absolute madman

[@NeidalRuekk]

It's also suggested that the bubble encompassing the galaxy is not permanent, and by the time of the YV war, it's gone, temporarily or otherwise. Time is a massive factor in a galaxy consisting of some 100 billion stars. Hyperspace is, well, tricky to say the least!

[@joshuamininger7745]

Pop in “Life is a Highway!” And go to the other galaxy, lol! That reference right there made me like the video

[@Dingusdoofus]

0:20 Ayy, it’s me lol.

[@jon6309]

Hmm I think we need to be a bit patient to get more details about this galaxy they are referring to. It’s possible that these are satellite galaxies like the Rishi Maze or Firefist which is already part of Star Wars lore. This could even perhaps be the Yuuzhan Vong galaxy which would be a cool attempt to canonize the concept and perhaps a very good plot twist where Thrawn is anticipated to be the antagonist to bring a new war when it’s actually the Vongs from the distant Galaxy that does!

[@Richard3rd665]

Perhaps this path is in a way similar to the same hyperspace phenomenon that Hypergates take advantage of. They are said to utilize rifts in hyperspace to travel between two points instantaneously. Presumably Artificial Hypergates such as those built by the Gree open and close artificial rifts. Perhaps this is a less potent naturally occuring one that allows hyperspace travel at a far more rapid rate than normal along it's vector.

[@puddles6814]

The gateway that takes the multiple massive hyperdrives sounds like the forced gateway used by the republic to make a hyperspace lane straight to Kamino. Each Purgil has its own “hyperdrive” so it makes sense, multiple together equal a more stable path.

[@stevenle9960]

That's an interesting way to look at it. The Eye is essentially emulating a herd of purrgil

[@British_Rogue]

"A long time ago, in *A GALAXY* far, far away..." Galaxy. Singular.

[@senatorsheevpalpatine3712]

Perhaps the map is also key to navigating hyperspace in between the known to unknown galaxy

[@james8449100]

The thing i notice was that massive ring had more than one hyperdrive from an ssd. So there just wold not have been the hyperdrives capable before the clone wara ruson reformation and all that

[@SBrown7525]

I wonder if the ancient race mentioned used infinity gates or something similar. Maybe that's what the Eye of Soin is?

[@jasonlmathews]

It's actually easier to think of a Hypsespace lane like a train tunnel. Established routes are like train routes. Some are faster and shorter and some are longer and slower. Your ship is the engine and essentially provides the 'speed' through the tunnel. After you go extra galactic, you are asking a ship that is designed to travel through these tunnels to essentially dig it's own tunnel and travel. Nearly all the ships can't do this. Hyperspace travel in the Star Wars universe is 25,000 some odd years old. In many of the novels and games it is stated that some secrets of Hyperspace have been lost. I'd bet the ability to 'dig' the tunnels is predominantly what was lost. The ancient Sith would have seen to that. Can't have your slaves wandering too far away. This leads me to the hyperspace whales. They swim through hyperspace and navigate it freely. So it stands to reason that they have migrated to other oceans (galaxies) in order to find food (recources that other setient species aren't mining). Ezra and Thrawn were dragged into Hyperspace by the whales, effectively marooning them in another galaxy where there are no tunnels and no way to dig new ones. Somewhere along the way, someone likely Thrawn's staff found the tunnel the whales made. So the question is, how do you get an enormous sized ship through a whale sized tunnel without damaging it further? We shall see.

[@pinecone206]

Yo could very well be wrong about this, but I understood that hyperspace lanes were part of the inherent fabric of the galaxy - something to be discovered and mapped that faciitated hyperspace travel, not merely a designated 'route'.

[@permeus2nd]

So I normally describe FTL in Star Wars as a subway system yes it’s not 100% accurate but it’s close also I remember hearing that the more a hyperspace route is used to safer it becomes? I can’t remember were I heard that, you can just decide to head off in any direction but the chance of you making it there in one peace is highly unlikely. The idea of a route becoming safer the more it’s used also makes sense as to why this path exists and is stable in the first place, if the pergil (I’ve no idea how you spell it I’m just guessing) make regular migrations between the two galaxies they will be helping to keep the hyperspace lane free and clear, making it safer with each animal that “”swims”” along that path. An I also say just how terrifying the idea of a giant space whale is! Think about it in there are space whales what else is swimming around in the voids of space we some that something in Solo but are their massive space sharks or jellyfish?

[@localhobo5362]

I read that pergils are not making estabished routes safer, it's the opposite.

[@austinfeller2368]

Their have been incidents involving hyperspace. Like we’re a sith fleet traveled a thousand years into the future from a the fleet controlling ships hyperdrive was damaged mid jump (the fleet was spaced to the main ship). Theoretically this could be possible as if the hyperdrive was damaged correctly and time was warped.
