[@deathstrike]

Not necessarily, this is often either ignored, or often not discussed when talking about intergalactic travel in the SW universe. In the book Outbound Flight, there was an attempt (I won't include spoilers) but let's just say it was not a failure of the project. Also, not discussed as well is the fact the Yuuzon Vong ARE from another galaxy and were only forced to use sublight (at the cost of thousands of years of travel) to reach the SW galaxy. It is explained that they did not have a hyperspace navigation point to actually use hyperspace. Also many books allude to the possibility that some smugglers and others have indeed left the galaxy and survived to tell about it. Look up Vuffi Raa, a "friend" of Lando Calrissian who in addition to being a type of droid is also a member of an intergalactic species known as the Silentium. They and the Abominor are believed to be the races responsible for the xenophobia and destruction of the original Yuuzon Vong homeworld.

[@guillaumekaas6505]

From the global Legends pile of stories, it seems that an ancient, extremely advanced race ruled once the central part of the Galaxy. They were suspected to have left Centerpoint station after engineering the Corellian system. With such abilities, it is not impossible that this race saw the rise of the dark Rakatas on Lehon, and tried to stop them by engineering the Tangle and other celestial walls between their realm and the Rakatas. But the Rakatan empire did go around or through it, possibly after it began to weaken or simply because it was like the Maginot line : quite easy to go around after all. Since the Tangle was supposedly engineered to stop any regular crossing, it isn't quite a surprise that the « core » civilisations didn't cross it. But that's right : it's funny to see how they didn't really care to go around themselves, if it wasn't for sherpa Thrawn's initiative ; and he was a local. Was the galactic population culturally afraid of the Unknown Regions, it's dark past and the myths and legends that surely persisted long after the Rakatan demise ?

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

My understanding is that the Celestials were the architects of Centerpoint Station (and at least some of them became the Ones, the Father, Son, and Daughter, and who adopted Abeloth as the Mother before her betrayal and exile) also created the Tangle, due to fear of the Mnggal-Mnggal.

[@Versudan]

Most of this seems pretty reasonable, but there's one big flaw in this, and that's the location of Rakata Prime.The Rakatan Infinite Empire spanned the entire galaxy during their time. It's not possible for a race to rule the whole galaxy from the unknown regions without having mapped out at least one reliable hyperspace lane from their part of the Unknown Regions to the core worlds.

[@elijahwatson3474]

TIE Fighter because for it to be unknown, it needs to be uncharted.

So without the vast effort of a huge empire, I can totally understand it going largely unexplored for millenia.

[@someguy43210]

But you can find what you're looking for if you have coordinates, which I used to visit various populated areas in the galaxy, and even to locate a single specific star. The game was much more fun without teleportation. At first they didn't allow players to leave a star system if they used portal to get there. Now you can just just portal to the center of the galaxy in one go. Took me about a hundred of blackhole jumps to reach the center.

Thing is: To achieve that you'd need to settle on a planet, then start scanning that planet's sky to map out the local systems. Then start sending out probe droids to see if there's any debris between you and the target system. If there is, then you have to skip to the next system.

Really nice content! From a scientific viewpoint the whole Star Wars Galaxy has a big mistake, though. In Galaxies the core region of the galaxy is the region with the dangerous radiation, the black holes, the gravity anomalies and so on. That's why life is possible on earth. It is out there in a remote side arm, where life like we know it is possible because there is lot of space between stars and thus not in a constant danger of being wiped out by the next gamma ray burst or supernova or similar things. So basically... the whole Star Wars Galaxy is kind of backwards. The core is the life friendly zone and the rim is the dangerous zone. It should be the other way round

ree ree useless Obi wan didnt say hello there

[@uhoh6706]

Obi-wan didn’t have the high ground

[@Cultureghost]

the force was with me?

[@MariusThePaladin]

It'd be GREAT to see a a Star Trek-like series of Star Wars where a cruiser or an ISD go on an exploration mission in unknow region.

[@therevyfilms246]

USS Vengeance (Star Trek) vs BC-304 Daedalus (Stargate) both with full capabilities. Anubis's Mothership (Stargate) vs Eclipse Super Star Destroyer (Star Wars) Asuran Fleet at Asuras (Stargate) with ZPMs vs Coruscant's Defense Fleet (Star Wars) Goa'uld Fleet at Dakara (Stargate) vs Rebel Fleet at Endor (Star Wars) Sodan Warrior (Stargate) vs Elite Honor Guard (Halo) Wraith Hiveship (Stargate) vs Victory ll Star Destroyer (Star Wars)

[@PedroSanchez-vl4dj]

TheRevyFilms I think Eck once said that it's really hard to pick a vs. when you put so many in one comment, because then he doesn't know which one people like.

[@therevyfilms246]

Hmm I kinda thought this would be a problem, I'll suggest them one at a time on his next vid

[@mogs23]

U are forgetting one ship that would make mince meat our of all of them and that is ori mothership the only ship to match it is deadlus class battel cruiser

[@fastllama13]

Just any Stargate vs Starwars and it looks like +TheRevyFilms will be happy.

[@therevyfilms246]

+Beerus What the hell you going on about?

[@FeelTheEpicNesss]

This channel has quickly become my favorite. No bullshit just good content and eckhart actually listens to the viewers. (I still wanna see if the covenant force that invaded reach could invade coruscant) ;)

[@nobleghost1177]

2-M Hover Tank (Star Wars) vs Scorpion Tank (Halo)

[@pnbproductions6008]

YES

[@YormanGina]

The Grizzly Tank would be better.

[@bowmanduncan2497]

If a scorpion can dystroy a scarab im sure it will at least stand a chance against a M-2

[@DJRainbowToxic]

Scorpion tank ready to sting! *command and conquer generals*

Love the video and the outro music “resonance by home”

[@MachoTaco24]

So how did The Resistance get to Star Killer Base so quickly?

[@pumpy2728]

bad writing

[@Linki8uu]

Who knows the force sure lets go with that also it’s ilium so I’m sure that the empire had files from the Jedi order on how to get there

[@anthonychurch4142]

Thank you for addressing this!!! I've been long puzzled by this question.

[@maxis2k]

I'm not buying the probe idea. Both the Old Republic and Empire had the resources to do it. And like you said, it sounds like the Emperor was doing it. Probably in an attempt to locate the aliens invading from outside the Galaxy. But when it comes to the EU, its just a writing tool. They were probably saving the unknown lands in case they wanted to expand the lore. Much like Star Trek did with the Gamma/Delta Quadrants. That also brings up the issue that, for a history that's suppose to span hundreds of thousands of years, you'd think they would invent a new type of faster than light travel system. Again, they can make cloaking devices, planet sized super lasers, giant walking cities....but Star Trek style warp drives or dark matter elude them? Yeah, not buying that either.

[@lieutenantnomad9198]

I've got some good star ship versus ideas! *1.* 100 CR-90 Blockade Runners VS 1 Alligiance Star Destroyer *2.* Aclemator Class Assult Ship VS Nebulon B Frigate *3.* Droid Control Ship VS Scarif Shield Gate *4.* Tie Phantom VS Tie Defender *5.* T-800 Terminator VS IG-88 *6.* Victory 1 or 2 Star Destroyer VS MC-75 *7.* Abeloth VS Early DBZ Goku *8.* 1,000 Tie Defenders VS The Sun Crusher *9.* World Devistator VS Late Clone Wars Lucker Hulk Droid Control Ship *10.* The Impirial forces over Scarif VS 1 Resergence Class Star Destroyer

[@jaredevans8263]

1. 100 blockade runners are too much for a single allegiance class destroyer. They should win 2. Nebulon frigate would get wrecked The rest idk

[@aaronjanestrada9484]

Why are the Unknown Regions "Unknown"? The answer is still unknown

[@moronkiller4962]

I don't really understand how hyperspace lanes work in Star Wars, I don't know how they develop, Are they created? Discovered? Or some other way? Are there any videos on this?

[@noname-wl6ow]

Its a lane of space where its safe for hyperspeed. Its mainly clear of debris, and is pretty much a highway across galexys. Hope I cleared this up a tad mate

[@milkhbox]

Darth Trumpt Watch isaac Arthur's video on insterstellar travel. It goes into detail about this very type of thing.

[@mallevin5479]

@Presidente Enrique Peña Nieto You can't know it. But i think spaceships calculators are able to jump out of hyperspace if they detect some trashes on the way, like after a battle or a meteor. They can do it with a nebula, so why not ? And even if they can't, the odds that you jump right trough a passing asteroid are the same that you smash your car in a lost item on a highway.

[@woodyjones5725]

This isn't correct. Hyperspace is another dimension.

[@spacesloth1599]

Woody Jones Objects in real space create a “Mass Shadow” object within hyperspace which a collision with would have the same effect of colliding with the real space object, but at many multiples the speed of light. This is why hyperspace jumps need to be calculated, you need a 100% clear route from point A to B else your dead.

[@Masterge77]

I'm glad that I know another Star Wars fan who is very fascinated by the Unknown Regions. Star Trek already explored part of it's galaxy's own "Unknown Regions" (aka. the Delta Quadrant) in Voyager, but Star Wars has yet to really explore their uncharted parts of space. The new trilogy seems to be wanting to explore a bit of it though, since we know Starkiller Base (which may or may not be Ilum) was based in the Unknown Regions, and that the First Order has a presence there.

[@onlypeaceindeath]

Actually, if we go by Attack of the Clones there is no such thing as the Unknown Regions in Star Wars unless we're talking deep extragalactic space. The conversation between Obi-Wan and the librarian in the movie made it quite clear that there are no unexplored parts in the local galactic cluster.

[@barrybend7189]

[@andycarne9310]

Thanks for the great video! Would you mind doing a video on recommended reads sometime? Would be interested to see which legends and Canon books you think are best

[@osys11]

You basically said black holes and gravitational anomalies twenty times.

[@gregmosher4287]

woo! Halifax inclusion at 3:16! old picture though :P the downtown has changed a bunch since that pic also awesome content keep up the good stuff!

[@garrettwilson6341]

I would wonder what is out there in the unknown regions of the star wars universe.

[@SCScholar1]

In the tales of the Jedi comic, they had independent explorers looking for new hyperspace routes. The story I refer to involved dav and jori daragon (I think). They end up finding korriban and captured by the sith. In the Jedi path book, the Jedi had a corps of explorers looking for new places. You are right, it is dangerous work.

[@Jackal_El_Lobo34]

I love the Unknown Regions version in Canon. What I like about this uncharted section of the galaxy is how much we don't know about it. This to me adds a lot of mystery like a creepypasta. It's essentially like the Bermuda Triangle in space.

[@limeddasch382]

1:51 In the central orange ring, at the top there is a planet called Aargau. In Switzerland thats an actual place.

[@abnegazher]

It's because the Star Wars universe don't have a Experience Points System... Because venturing unto the Unknow is the better way to get better XP :)

[@bullgatesSR]

Interesting video. Makes you take scale of how large the story and characters can be...

[@paulpaterson1661]

I switched off before the new "canon" section

[@bonebard6178]

Man you could make a whole story about unknown regions exploreers

[@kennethkates3140]

Harrower Dreadnaught vs Venator Star Destroyer

[@kairon156]

This is very cool. I knew space lanes were a thing but I never knew how physical they are in terms of paths to travel along.

[@Virtue2721]

This is cool and well done but if there are empires in the unknown regions which have had contact with the empire like the chiss then why is it unknown? Why haven't the chiss maps been used? After all some chiss are in the upper levels of the imperial government.

[@PongoXBongo]

They probably were used to optimized Imperial probe missions. Space is a big place, and new discoveries can be made even in otherwise mapped areas, especially if different parties are looking for different things.

[@jacobvdh6044]

Wasn’t expecting to see a pic of Halifax on this one. That earned you a sub, buddy.

+Joseph Thompson thanks my dude, really appreciate the support

[@josephthompson1359]

Sorry i cant be a patreon at the moment. I just dont have to funds to right now. I really wish i could. Because you definatly are my favorite youtuber. So as soon as i get a better job ill for sure join up.

[@EckhartsLadder]

+Joseph Thompson don't worry about it my dude, watching the videos helps and is more than enough

[@josephthompson1359]

I know. But i really appreciate all the wondeful videos and i wamma make sure you have to funds to keep making them better and better. And by the way i really appreciate you relpying to me. Means alot that someone like you responds to just a random fan. Thanks you bro.

You sound like a young George Lucas.

[@cankhovich1796]

eh

[@404killer]

nah

[@assemblyrequired7342]

The difficulty of exploration with the Hyperdrive is one of the aspects that I think would be fertile ground for a Star Wars/Trek crossover. By 2381, the Federation has the far more accurate (if unrefined) Quantum Slipstream, which would be perfect for exploring the unknown region...and probably getting into space brawls with the Vagaari and Ssi Ruuk!

[@sharkfinbite]

Historically towns are created when there is a massive sufficient and reliable food source is available or being maintained, that people can stay stationary in one place for a long time. Rivers(any large source of water), oasis, fertile plains for farms, and trade routes where food is exchange can create a town. It's food that influence their creation usually.

Slap my hand

[@williamlennie]

I always figured that they were the "unknown regions" because they were A: The later regions to be explored (after galactic wars took place, therefore losing precedence) and B: There's fewer safe hyperspace lanes available.

[@betweenthedimensions8315]

“Stellar geography” wouldn’t that be “stellography!” 🤔

[@rustycole1145]

The main trilogy and beyond: I can't go to the unknown regions The old republic and before: I go to the unknown regions for vacation

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

It would be interesting to learn the nuts and bolts of hyperspace lane construction. After all, we're dealing with light-year or light-millennium sized construction and the techniques and approaches taken to pull off such an enterprise.

[@concept5631]

It's like an intragalactic railway system that needs constant maintenance. It's fascinating.

[@bruhdabones]

We live in an unknown region. In a few years our radio signals will reach the Gungans and JarJah can bring us into the Republic

[@imperatoriacustodum4667]

Eck, I think a lot of people like the Unknown Regions because they're unknown, there are many mysteries in there. It both kind of represents our fears, our fear of not knowing what could be lying in wait out there, while also representing our want to explore, to make the unknown known, it's kinda clever if you think about it that way. (That, or I'm overthinking everything once again)
