I’ve always pictured that there were two types of interstellar transportations for civilians that are analogous to passenger liners of the early 20th century pre-jet age (RMS Titanic, Queen Marry, etc) and the other being analogous to jetliners (which would look more like the prototype SST designs of the 1960s than a 707 or a 747) that can go into space and go into hyperspace.

[@hugosiu656]

Yeah I’ve also always pictured it like that as well. With things like passenger liners having a class 10-5 hyperdrive, jet liners having a 4-1.5, and finally a hypersonic jet liner like the Concord having a class 1.4-0.5 hyperdrive

[@fantasywind3923]

That definitely seems to be the case, the travel conditions depend on the type of ship etc. the Clone Wars episode Voyage of Temptation had a luxury cruise ship, the Attack of the Clones movie had Anakin and Padme travel on some low key transporter ship, we have the scene when they eat in the common hall (R2 takes the food for them from the buffet droid servant :)).

Makes me wonder if they got interstellar versions of thinks like "Southwestern" an "Continental" air lines.. or in their case interplanetary space lanes...

Given what we are shown in the movies, how unimaginably huge the galaxy is, to our RL level of thinking, and how difficult it must be to enforce the rule of a single dept. of a single over-arching government, I would suspect you would only get that level of procedures for Business class and up in the Inner and Mid rim. Lower classes, aside from Steerage, you are more likely "self-serve" other than an assigned seat, with maybe a datapad with in-flight and emergency info. The exception would be any planetary system star line known for the overall quality of their service. And the farther out you get, the more that our airlines level of procedures are scarce, exceptions as noted above. Just my ( lengthly ) 2 bits.

[@robertagu5533]

@@barongorn sounds about right. Further clues out that far can probably be guessed from watching the movies an paying particular attention to when a character is making arrangements for such travel.

For short hops, there was often "taxi" services, in the form of shuttles. Though you could also BUY a shuttle yourself. Shuttles could often be a lot cheaper then a freighter, and while some people think of them "interchangeably" because of things like the Lamda... in reality shuttles could be much much smaller, sometimes only big enough to have 6 seats, MAYBE a bathroom but that was optional, and an endurance of 6-10 days. Rarely however would you want to be in one for 6-10 days, you would generally be in one of these shuttles for a few hours. And while hyperdrives are expesnive... to a point... you thats the big x1 and x.5 hyperdrives... a little x3 hyperdrive for a ship under 5 tons... without shields or weapons... your little minivan in space is likely going to set you back around 30k used. While useful for core world travel, if you were going anywhere more then a few hours away... or a day or 2 if you are traveling alone and can lay out sleep in the back... and pee in a bucket.. for longer trips yeah, you would be booking liner passage.

[@Ganondorf98]

(Edited for Typo Reparations) If you're able to, you should explain each government the main Galactic Republic evolved into from the Legends timeline. Obviously starting with how the Galactic Republic began in the the 25,000's of BBY to becoming the Fel Empire in the farthest known ABY history. So basically the Imperial Remnant. Does that make sense? And then perhaps throw in how this actually effected people. Explain each government's strengths and how each one became weaker and eventually fell or changed.

[@Jshaw71]

Good video, when I heard the price of luxury class, I knew there was a picture of a Chandrla starcrusier cabin coming, I wasn't disapointed if I was traveling in the star wars universe, I'd look for somewhere in between the ships quality, price, and safety, I'd get a cabin if I could, or just be among the crowd, though it maybe rough or possibly hire a small ship, with a skilled pilot (if needed) I'd work off the bill while in transit (again if needed)

To borrow from other sources, there is the hazard of "chump dumping". A ship captain agrees to take you somewhere for a very low cost up front. The ship takes off, reaches orbit, blows a hatch, out you go, and the ship returns to the surface with a very high profit margin.

Something I have fought about how they in the star wars universe counted the years Before A new hope. Like somebody in 32 BBY, if you were to ask them what year it is, they wouldn't say it's 32 BBY. They must have had a system to count the years before a new hope.

[@lunatickoala]

I think it's also unlikely that either the rebels or the New Republic would use BBY/ABY. Officially the rebels are the Alliance to Restore the Republic and they'd probably want to restore the calendar the old republic was using. Assuming of course that the Empire even started a new calendar, which is certainly possible but not a guarantee as they might have just stuck with the old calendar for convenience.

[@Marksman5147]

@@bmetalfish3928 made up myth study completely not based on reality or factual evidence that’s been perpetuated for years The average conflict has thousands of rounds fired at ranges of 300m+ where soldiers are typically point shooting at areas of cover, not aiming at an actual individual enemy soldier (for the most part typically CQB and snipers being exceptions here, hence also why CQB is so grueling), the hit ratio is gonna be below 1% in any conflict due to the nature of war, nobody is using single shot muskets where they walk into the open to line up the perfect shot on an individual enemy That false study used the nature of suppressive fire and inaccuracy of WW2 weapons and varying engagement distances to make up some BS myth of soldiers intentionally missing due to “morality” reasons, rather than the actual truth of standing outside in the open results in you usually instantly dying. Rounds for over the enemy’s head not because soldiers are intentionally missing but because they’re behind cover with rounds flying both directions trying to suppress the enemy so they can maneuver and fire and hopefully actually take armed shots at individual targets.

Having seen the plans and the disappearance of Alderaan would have made it a foregone conclusion. 'I believe that's the thing I was looking at just a few days ago.' "That's no moon..."

wonder how much certain weapons would cost, and what would be best for certain professions in the star wars galaxy. if I was a moisture Farmer on Tattooine, what should I be looking for in weaponry. i'd imagine old west type affair. rifle or 1 or 2 small blasters

[@barongorn]

Given the huge variety of weapon types in the galaxy, what might be best for a profession would be highly dependent on how you carry out your job, your personal experience and / or who taught you, and what your targets and opposition would be. I think there isn't always a one-size-fits-"This Job" situation. I imagine, in your example of a Tattooine farmer, that you would want something thats easy to maintain and fix, since parts, and /or weapon techs, would be few and far between. If you have a method to replenish the gas and recharge the powerpacks, certainly blasters are viable. Otherwise you might be forced to use slugthrowers. So something lesser like the battledroid E-5 would be so many spare parts after several encounters with local "difficulties" (take your pick). As for cost and quality, that would be COMPLETELY dependent on your source for the weapons, I.E. avoid jawas like the Plague except for MAYBE spare parts if you KNOW what it is you're looking for.
