If you mark an area as "Unknown," "Forbidden," or "Restricted," regardless of the genre, everyone is going to want to go there.
Should’ve named it “Meh regions”

should have just left it blank. if you don't call it anything no one will care that much
@@tristankeech4070 people would 100% be questioning a mostly blank half to a heavily populated spiral galaxy.
It boggles my mind that they didn’t do this for the sequel trilogy. But we were insisted that we must get a Tattooine 2.0, Hoth 2.0, Death Star 3.0, and Rebels vs Empire 2.0.
Remembering the sequels wasted potential ruins my day.
Idk dudes I stop wanting things from Star Wars media and instead just judge what I get with an open mind
That's hard and requires understanding of the lore and The meaning of what you are writing the movie about... but why do that when you can just do a worse copy of a previous movie from 40 years ago.
A lot of the blame goes to JJ Abrams, and to Disney for picking him. He only really knows how to make worse retreads of popular stuff, mostly from the 80s (E.T. with Super 8, Star Trek II with Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Wars), and has never stuck a landing or had a satisfying answer for the many "mystery boxes" he's put out there.
Why? Because *somebody* wanted 'The Force is Female'...Lucas and the Expanded Universe be damned.
When 'agenda' becomes the story, the is NO story...only a "message".
Interesting thought: The reason we haven't made contact with aliens is that Earth is too far away from any hyperspace route.
Well we’re not even in the same galaxy for one
Scary thought: the reason we haven't made contact with aliens is because we are in a dead zone and the only reason our planet has not been found by something is because we haven't ventured out far enough.
@@flawless_Cowboy collosal intergalactic ghost leviathan detected within the star system, are you sure what are you doing was worth it?
@@flawless_Cowboy Well, we sorta know there aren’t advanced civilizations anywhere near us. In Star Wars, a lot of planets are habitable and farmable and all that. Realistically, you’ll struggle to find them and reach them. This means that, even with hyperspace lanes, you really want to produce space habitats (effectively, a scaled up ISS which utilizes spin to create “gravity”). This goes to a point where the entire star is englobed in a swarm of habitats called a Dyson Swarm definitely within 10,000 years, potentially as few as 50 years depending on resources, automation, technologies, artificial materials, energy, and so on. At this point, you can still see the star, but it will be far dimmer than it should be, and upon closer observation, you will certainly see the swarm.
This is called the Fermi Paradox, which is an apparent paradox between the vast size and age of the universe and the lack of intelligent life.
I… May like sci-fi too much. Sorry
There is a interesting theory about density of matter in space and its connection with theory of manageable chaos.The idea is on low density of colonized space there is more enthropy and more civilized races are closer to the center of galaxy.

@@sim.frischh9781 And yet, according to the maps, they didn't. Thyferra lies on the edge of the Unknown Regions, as does the system in which Endor is located. One of the few planets located within the Unknown Regions is the origin planet of the Yuuzhan Vong, another Rakata Prime. There is no proof of actual efforts to map the Unknown Regions.
Then again, Hyperspace exploration is a difficult and long process, which always takes thousands of lives; there is a reason people travel along established hyperspace routes instead of just jumping.

Don't ask something too great of them, they didn't even plan the newest trilogy. I doubt they would have the sense to get an even half-decent writer on board to think up something in the unknown regions.

I love that the galaxy is like this so you can make up your own stories and not have them affect the wider universe
I agree
Yeah I guess. Just don't like fan fic :P
I like just imagining what's out there (besides the obvious like Chiss and Vong) It could make a cool post sequels story, just exploring what else is out there.
I have a story for a sequel to the Rise of Skywalker.

Only 5% of the oceans have been explored and charted, and we have drone subs.
@@JamesZeroSix ignorant statement
@@JamesZeroSix Do we have drone subs as independent as droids?
Yeah, that's never happening. Sending droids into the void for years sounds like a great way for them to become self-aware and reject their mission statements. This is why droids get mind-wiped every so often, so as to not allow them to gain sentience and threaten to destroy the galaxy as they have several times in the galaxy's 50,000 year history.

@@TehBakerye but unknown region is somehow explained by ehm.. celesials? When Anakin, Obi wan and Ahsoka found mysterious Crystal building in space and they found Anakins true destiny. its in Season 3 clone wars.. and they said that galaxy must be in balance so there is answer why is unknown reagion :D It cant be explored because it would destroy universe. for one example are last 3 episodes VII-IX.. its just tiny uncover how dangerous that unknown region can be
It's crazy to me that people are creative enough to come up with all this stuff so that we can talk about it like it's actually real.
Yup.
Because maybe somewhere in a galaxy far far away, this stuff is actually real.
And yet, the movies contain almost none of this lore...
@@seabreez2421 Well, in an approximately infinite universe...
@Adolf Hitler 'Cause you would try to take control of it, right, Führer?
I wonder WHY in canon they are making so many Force-Related planets close to the Unknown Regions. Jedha, Exegol, Ahch-To and Illum. Could it mean that in canon the Unknown Regions will be related to the origin of the Force Users?
Maybe Force users just tend to be hermit-ish and try to hide their secrets in more secret, unexplored places
Adding to this Palpatine believed the heart of the Dark Side was in the Regions (which could be Exegol)
That said I’m pretty sure Kamino is near the Unknown Regions too
@@ItsButterBean1020 Kamino is past the rishi maze and outside the galaxy according to Attack of the Clones.So yeah, I guess it'd be an unknown regions planet
Illum has always been close to the unknown region.

Makes you realise just how aggorant Jocasta Nu was when she said "If it isn't on our system, it does not exist!"
It was more of a political statement. "Don't go looking for people who don't want to be found."
Didnt see it as arrogant. Just real talk.
Because at the time in star wars canon there was some wild shit in deep space that shouldn’t have been sought out. I see it more as protecting him from finding something dangerous.
I think she knew, especially if you view the deleted library scene as canon.
I googled the word 'aggorant' just to see if I was wrong about it being arrogant and google showed me 'arrogant'.
Space wraiths, starweirds, Darth Nihilus, Abeloth, the black wing project and worst of all, the mnggal-mnggal. Those are just a few examples of why most people decide not to explore the unknown, the potential of unknown, terrifying creatures who have such a reputation in their stories that it can scare just about anyone and make anyone else not even think about exploring past the known galaxy, the horror of star wars is way scarier than any other horror icon such as Alien or The Thing.
Darth nihilus was the sith lord who could drain life from people to basically be the Sith vampire yes? As for the rest my star wars lore is lacking
@@Azmodari I haven't read about Darth Nihilus in a long time, but to my knowledge, yes, he could drain the life from anyone and anything, even planets if my memory serves me well.
@@CRUSTYDUSTY1776 i personally haven't read about him but i remember watching some video talking about he drained the life from planets (while possibly meant literally i took it as he killed all life on it) did that a few times then they somehow trapped him on a planet by keeping ships from entering or leaving
Well Alien, particularly Alien vs predator, has some seriously fucked up shit ya know. Id say Star wars is just below but considering its not even technically a horror that's damn good
You know they accidently made project blackwing cannon through mentioning it in one of their guides?

Why aren't there deadly radiation levels at the Galactic Core, like in the Milky Way?
The force works in mysterious ways
Milky way has a supermassive black hole in the center and, if I remember correctly, those emit a whole lot of radiation. There’s probably a lot of other radioactive stuff around there too. So maybe the core in the starwars galaxy is different than that of the milky way and it is something that’s not super radioactive?
aksmithart yeah prob
Celestials
@@aksmithart There's a supermassive black hole at the center of the GFFA. Lore says probes have been there and taken pictures.
In the 40k lore...
The empire of man have the most biggest territory but only like 1% of the Galaxy, meaning many unexplored planets in between them.
Heck in reality planet Earth could be inside an alien territory but never know it... The Galaxy is that big.
Imagine how confused those explorers would be when they got to Earth, only to find that its inhabitants already know about the rest of the galaxy despite being completely isolated
Add the fact that scientists have recently d
discovered that the laws of physics can change based on stellar phenomena, there could literally be entire star systems straight out in front of us, light years away that we can even see due to gravitational or other anomalies that completely obscure our view unless we go around them or at least get to the other side. So the galaxy and the wider universe could be even bigger than we can even see due to these "invisible" obstructions and altered pockets of space-time. It's really facinating just how damn vast it all really is.
We absolutely could be in the borders of an alien empire, we might never know it, and they might even never know it. The universe is just endlessly interesting.
I like the human zoo theory. That aliens know we are here but are kind just leaving us alone in the same way we leave some undiscovered tribes alone. Just letting us do our thing.
@@samlevy9897 I'm pretty sure the dinosaurs were extinct for like 1000 years when the empire was ruling the galaxy. Earth wasn't what it is today.
Cameron Smith
I like that one. It makes me far less anxious of alien invasions lol
it would be cool for a movie that takes place in the unknown regions in my opinion
possibly about a jedi who escaped order 66 by going into the unknown regions
Or he us so far out so he never knew the jedi order fell. Heck maybe there is another order of jedi or grey jedi who never connected with the order for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Could you imagine fighting force sensitives that were properly trained to be implemented into the military as special units, and not just glorified generals.
I once tried to write a story about Three Jedi who escaped Order 66 and found refuge in the Silent Empire which is actually called the Mirrocracian Empire and is embroiled in a Political crises and several wars with other empires,slavers and rebels they try to survive and help stabilise it before the Empire make contact with them and see their weak state and declare war
Maybr that can be where ashoka is during the sequeles

Knights of Zakuul have entered the chat
Because seeing how screwed up the explored half is, nobody wants to add to it.
And nobody on the western side wants anything to do with the rest of it either. LOL
Because Space Trump built a Space Wall.
There is one extremely important meta-fact that everyone needs to consider.
Nearly the entire lore of the Star Wars Galaxy, outside of the material in the movies, was created for the WEG Star Wars RPG by various writers, mostly without any input from Lucasfilm.
That game & the material within it served as the seed for the lion’s share of the EU.
And even within the EU, the lore isn't always consistent. While there's certainly a spirit of consistency a lot of writers shared--when you find cool stuff, you often want your stuff to happen in the same universe--it's not like it was all one google doc that they worked on together. There's not just one "Star Wars Galaxy" out there, some parts of lore will always be conflicting, "canon" depends a lot on which parts you like to combine the most

I find it interesting that it’s the eastern side that is explored, and everything west was unknown. It feels heavily influenced by western exploration in our own history
Yea and Hutta space is like the middle east where the core planets are like Europe
I mean if you flip the map upside down it's now the unexplored eastern region
@@dsdy1205 I mean, is there really even an east or west in a galaxy?
@@dsdy1205 That wouldn't work because you'd be flipping north and south too.
@@in4mal_baker270 A galaxy is a disc with a center, 360 degrees and a reference point. What people call East depends on what reference point they choose, and what cardinal direction they associate it with. People would naturally use the home system of the dominant species as a reference point. Assuming that's Coruscant, and they agree to place it at true North, then the first 180 degrees clockwise are objectively East.

It’s so refreshing to be able to talk about star wars without having to argue about weather or not Disney ruined everything. I like learning about these stories even if they’re not canon.
Same. I personally think most of those types of people are just looking for stuff to complain about.
There is no such thing as "canon" or "legends". You sheeple need to stop talking about it and stop supporting that toxic mentality. That word is meaningless and pointless. There is no reason to ever use that word in any context. It is ALL Star Wars content. Period. Nothing more to it. Anybody who debates over canon is automatically proving they are bad, illogical, unintelligent and has a malfunctional brain.
You could hide entire empires in some of these "blank" areas of the map. Especially on that map at 6:30.
You should read the books about Luke Skywalker and his new Jedi Order and the New Republic teaming up in the Yuuzhan Vong War and their anti-Force biotechnology weapons!
*Laughs in Zakuulian*
there are some stories about the unknown region and how OP some of these empires are. i’m talking about WAY WAY WAY more advanced then the republic / empire
@@qtflip965 would u mind sharing some names that I can look up about those stories? I'm really intrigued
true. maybe you could call it something cool like "the Eternal Empire" and give the emperor a badass name like Valkorian. or maybe have a cool alien from the unknown regions that rises up the ranks of Palpatine's empire and is so badass that he almost reunifies the empire after Palpatine's death. he could be blue, or something, and be called Mitth'raw'nurudo. no, that's too complicated, better call him Thrawn instead.
In one of the NJO books, Danni Quee brings up the in-universe theory that the Star Wars galaxy is colliding with a "Dark Matter Galaxy" that only interacts gravitationally with normal space - as the two galaxies slowly pass through each other, the gravity wells from the normal stars and the "Dark Matter stars" interact from different angles, opening and closing hyperspace routes into the Unknown Regions and also locking and unlocking different areas within that vast area.
what is NJO?
New Jedi Order. Its the (i think) 19 book series around the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Read the whole thing and quite honestly, its one of the best series ove read, though it did cost me around $210 for the whole thing. Id say money well spent

@@DillonX-xg7cy Yeah. I think that's kinda bruh.
In Kotor 2, Kreia says that the "True Sith" lie beyond the known reaches of the our galaxy. These Sith are so powerful that absorbing all the life on a planet is child's play to them. I'm so surprised this was never brought in any kind of star wars media especially since Kreia also says that Revan left the republic and their galaxy to go fight these Sith.
sadly KotOR is not cannon
would be funny if westwards would be this huge as empire thats like "yeah we know you east guys exist but you do all this crazy shit so we decided to block you out"
Basically the Chiss
@@Metatronio
I think you got the spirit but not exactly there.
I'm thinking what Helmut described is more of a highly powerful and massive civilization that can control what happens in that part space.
(An ancient power or civilization that is very powerful in the force and/or extremely advanced with technology. Think of like "the ones" or forerunners.)
The Chiss are strong but are nowhere near that powerful. (If they were the far outsiders (Or Vong depending on which canon you use.) wouldn't be a threat to them or are so strong the galaxy wouldn't hope to beat it if they fall. And they would not need the inner galaxy's help for anything.
"Council of Elders, the crazy inhabitants of the eastern part of the Galaxy have done it again. They've let an evil man kill off the monks protecting them, and were totally OK with a moon sized military station...which then blew up a peaceful planet."
"All in favor of continuing our policy of 'no thanks, we're good, you stay over there'?"
Now I’m just imagining some New Republic ships coming out of hyperspace at the border of the unknown region, only to find a system-spanning neon sign that simply says “NO”
like the eternal empire?
Interesting parallel; one reason why there are still a surprising number of uncharted islands in the Pacific Ocean is due to the fact that all the shipping lanes followed today date back to the time when sailing ships were basically restricted to the areas known to have consistent wind currents.
Yall better get ready for Star Wars: The "West" side of the galaxy. Its going to be almost exactly the same, exept in this one "West" Mace Windu kills "West" count Duku and Jango Fette on "West" genosis. "West" skywalker still releases his anger though but only attacking sand planets.
Westside is the best side of course till Disney comes along.......js
West side is a very wild side of the Galaxy.
ITS THE WILD WEST
balashibu yeeter Does that mean we’re gonna have Jedi cowboys?
I would imagine with the way they like to release new versions of the same movies they will just flip the orientation of the movie left to right and call it "Stare Wars: Galaxy West".
8:00 is where you start to get the answer. A long one
I like the idea that if space travel can be as risky as is sometime claimed by Star Wars, keeping track of which routes are safe should be a very complicated job.
I find it weird that in the Clone wars most planets are treated like one nation. Like there is only one leader and if there looking for someone it's so fast but there searching an ENTIRE planet.
Yeah, it's one of my gripes about Star Wars. Couldn't some planets have different types of people or at least different biomes? How cool would it be if Kashyyyk had different types of wookiees like desert Wookiees or polar Wookiees rather than the standard jungle ones.
Gee, it's almost as if they're unified civilizations part of a larger Galactic Republic or something ...
wasnt that the case on naboo tho?
@@KHANSTER1029 we have naboo and an exploded alderaan but it'll be nice to have more

That's why it's called Legends!!!
I love that the maps were sort of "spot the planets you recognise" and there's so many I didn't know. To be honest there were a lot I didn't care about but it was interesting seeing the distance between say Dantooine and Coruscant or Tython being in the dead set core, Balmorra sometimes being referred to as a Core World but not being dead set Core like Alderaan and Coruscant.
Apart from the core, I could only find Ryloth.
How easy would it be to hide in the Galaxy?
Bounty Hunting would seen impossible if someone moved offworld and just changed their name … even just changing their first name to Ben from Obi-Wan while keeping the same surname was enough to throw off the entire Empire and the Inquisitors.
I’m sure they have methods , programs that scorer footage and calls and stuff we use today but more advanced .
i dont think many people knew about Ben Kenobi besides Owen Beru and Luke himself..most other people that he encountered on Tatooine were most likely outlaws or dealers or scavengers smugglers jawas ect... and to top it off Jabba the Hutt ruled Tatooine and he was the law that mattered there not the Empire, so either most the people he encountered which wasnt many cuz its a desolate desert planet very scarce population, but they were either people trying to avoid imperial encounters or people who worked for the Hutts or ust didnt give a shit, not to mention he probably didnt go around telling everyone his name was Ben Kenobi probably most people knew him as just Ben..
There were a few factors for sure. One, Kenobi could probably mind trick most people he came across into thinking he was just some harmless hermit. Tatooine as was mentioned was under Hutt control and many of the people there were the type that didn't want to be found. Bounty Hunters would probably mostly take easier bounties when they could, catch some low hanging fruit like spacers that owe money to the Hutts, etc. Most bounty hunters were probably not good enough to take down a Jedi and you can't claim a reward if you're dead. And lastly, Kenobi probably spent a lot of time trying to mask his presence in the force so that Palpatine, Vader and the inquisitors would be less likely to sense his presence unless they were very close to him.
N'zoth being an actual, real planet in star wars will never *not* get me
I think what I find so interesting about the history of exploration and travel in the Star Wars universe is that it could mirror or parallel our own future. Being that our galaxy is just so massive, I can totally see future human space exploration favor a certain sector of the galaxy, do to an abundance of resources or something like that, and leave out the another side by accident. Then, after that one well explored sector has been well colonized and explored, we look to the other side and wonder "what's over there? why haven't we explored there before?", thus creating our own "unknown region" of the galaxy.
Awesome vid, Eck, keep up the great work!

that blue milk is something else

@@centurymemes1208 yes
What irritates me is that there was so much untapped potential with the sequels. I think somewhere in the movies, Snoke was said to have been from the unknown regions. Maybe they could have visited these regions, and more worldbuilding could have been done, looking at more interesting worlds and all
A few things that you didn’t mention are that species in the Unknown Regions did explore near their homeworlds, just not far enough to make contact with the Republic/Empire/New Republic. These include Chiss, Killiks, Ssi-Ruuvk, etc. Some species such as the Chiss and Nuso Esva’s species had very large territories there.
Then the Empire of the Hand came around. They explored 250 sectors worth of the Unknown Regions and Wild Space. That is the vast majority of the Unknown Regions.
Csilla is in the Unknown Regions. I didn’t realize just how far away the Chiss homeworld was from Coruscant. They must have star maps of the Regions around their home system
I get the feeling somewhere it was mentioned, the Unknown Regions were vaguely mapped out, but the information was deleted. Mind you they are mapped out by someone out there. The Chiss more than likely know exactly what is out there and where. reason for them being so powerful, to defend themselves from what they know is out there. And the Rakata most definately know what is there and where everything is since they ruled the entire area as well as everywhere else. I suppose if they wanted to get technical, they could say somewhere in that area is our Earth. The reason why we dont see much alien traffic is for that reason, no one really knows we are here. Remember E.T.'s race is now canon for starwars, we got to see his race in a senate scene, and they visited earth.
"A long time ago IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY." Earth is not in the star wars galaxy.
@@musclegeek1991 Nor do we know how long time ago was it exactly
But the point is the whole “galaxy far far away” part
@@musclegeek1991when they say far far away, even if Earth is right out on the outter rim of the unknown regions, it is still far far away. However I think you are right and we are not part of that one but are perhaps in a direct neighbouring galaxy. Since we know there are other races in the Starwars mythos that came from other neighbouring galaxies. And the E.T. race is fully capable of traveling to other galaxies to explore.
I need to explore the Unknown Regions. NPC: “Here, let me mark it on your map.” *Proceeds to mark the middle of a blank space on the map*
if this map was of the milky way, where would the earth lie?
Probably in the unknown regions, based on what I've seen from milky way maps
www.atlasoftheuniverse.com/milkyway.html
You realize, that is like asking, if this map of Venus was of Earth, where is Perdue?
earth is between 25 to 30.000 light years from the galactic core in the Orion arm, wich is a minor arm conected to one of the main galactic arms.

I'd be inclined to hit doubt on that. In legends, weird force sensitive creatures aren't all that uncommon. Lookin at you, Master Thon. It's possible that Bendu is just one of those weirdos and all his bros have died out.
Matthew true
The funny part is that the hyperspace lanes could very well have been artificially created by an advanced alien civilization before the star wars era. Which means, hypothetically, they could come back to take whats theirs. In legends there are aliens that have decided to launch crusades in the SW universe only to get slapped by the ruling powers of the time. But an alien species so advanced to develop hyperspace lanes? Something tells me there enough in that idea alone to start a 40k 2.0 electric boogaloo
"We're going to look at legends..." (because the canon is a joke now).

Padawan: What's that over there?
Master: That's West, dear Padawan, we do not go there...
I think it had to do with the Kwa, the ancient civilization from the Dawn of the Jedi series. They did have Infinity Gates that were more efficient and reliable than Hyper Drives. There once was a Prime Gate on Tython, which is a planet that had the original Jedi. And, if I remember correctly, Darth Vader visited that planet in a cannon comic. The Prime Gates are Infinity Gates that can take users anywhere they want without the use of another Infinity Gate on the other side. Maybe the unexplored half of the galaxy has multiple of them, and the Kwa did something to prevent them from being discovered, like the one on Tython.
Abeloth
She was in the Maw cluster, not the unknown regions.
I know, but it appears in the thumbnail
Good lord i wish the EU was still getting expanded as frequently as it was. There is so much potential in westward exploration, we just need an ex machina to allow it lmao
Yeah and now Brexit happened it's just getting smaller lol
Imagine how many AA Batteries it would cost to hyper jump!
Grab your heart of Azeroth and essences, planet “N’Zoth” is on the top left at 7:10
Han:” can you jump to Tatooine get some eggs?”
Leia:”sure babe. Better be done washing that salad by the time I’m back.”
If the world of Star Wars was fully explored, we would have probably about 143 Movies then.
Could be thousands of movies if they decided to include other galaxies
Planets in star wars: yo bro use hyperspace and come over lol
Planets irl: an amazing feet of engineering
I say it’s a third!!! A third sir
Agreed sir.
Yes Sir
The unknown regions of space is our reality and the ones separate us from them and they send visions to the people who write star wars 😂😂
WHAT IS THAT PFP😭😭😭😭
The writes must be force sensitive
They'll let you pass if you amuse them. That's why the Star Wars Holiday Special was all about.
Imaging that the starwars galaxy is actually the milky way and the unexplored space of the galaxy is our part of the galaxy, because funny enough, in the milky way we are left of the Galaxy
If that were true George Lucas would have a LOT of explaining to do
@@thegamelabgaming7556 I read somewhere that Star Wars was initially supposed to be a story told to earthlings by an ET species, maybe there’s a grain of truth in it, I mean SW resonates with the consciousness of society in a really interesting way, it’s almost like a modern mythology. Very archetypal. Lucas studied a lot of mythology and whatnot.
@@cylerstarr1874 Actually yes. and not just any ET species but the actual aliens from Spielberg's E.T.... Before the Disney buyout the then-official Star Wars Galaxy timeline had a point in the EXTREME far-off future that the entire galaxy was destroyed. Right before however, the "Journal of the Whills" (the entire galactic history up to that point) is sent into Wild Space by the E.T. species, thru the intergalactic void, and into the MIlky Way Galaxy where it eventually fell to Earth.
How the hell do you define the left side of a galaxy
@@theblackphoenix2135 in the starwars map everything from the inner core to the outer rim is to the right side, the unexplored regions are to the left
I personally think that the Sith Empire used the Dark Side in some kind of Sith ritual to make the Unknown Regions extremely difficult to explore. This was to hide their presence on Dromund Kaas shortly after the end of the Great Hyperspace War.
Thank you man!! You made me like star wars again. I USE to SEE IT when I was younger. Thank you and I love you vids. Thea are amazing,,
Do ships traveling on the same hyperspace route in opposite directions ever crash into each other?
It is unknown, but if they did, the collossal amount of energy would be released and any participating object would be smashed into the parts smaller than an atom, like quarks. That's what they do in Hadron Collider in Europe, by the way.
@@elozvyut yeah I figured as much but I was also wondering if they at all have technology that allows them to quantum tunnel through other ships when they’re both moving that fast or if they have just incredibly effective supercomputers that can detect other ships at light speed and redirect to avoid them.
I'd imagine the hyper-lanes are rather wide, thousands of kilometers maybe. Still possible to collide, but also a lot of elbow room.
@@TalkingAboutYooh right but you’ve also gotta consider the sheer amount of traffic between all the space fairing races. We don’t exactly know how common it is outside of those of high government military or outlaw status.
It's the forerunners blocking the West 🤣😂😅
forerunners at war with the Protheans, who are themselves fighting the Reapers, which are the discarded (and now sapient) technology of the biological-based Yuuzhan Vong. Who are of course coming to the galaxy themselves sometime after Endor.
@@airplanemaster1 who are running from the celestials because the celestials are angry the Yuzhan Vong destroyed a galaxy.
I love the Jedi & Sith and I most definitely want some more stuff about that eternal conflict but there is so much outside of them that could be explored for new series or films.
The sequels had so much potential, think of all the things in star wars expanded universe
But instead they created stupid characters with a stupid storyline
LEGENDS IS TRUE STAR WARS
hi eck
Honestly, I always assumed there’s something in the Unknown Region that’s basically the equivalent of The Flood from Halo. That coming into contact with it on a large scale would spell the end of all life in the Galaxy, so the Celestials did that to prevent large-scale exploration.
Ohhhhhhh Halo sounds interesting
@@captaincrunch784 it is. It’s a first person shooter game series, but it takes place in space-age era like Star Wars. Tho I believe the amount of the galaxy humanity has explored so far in Halo is much smaller than in Star Wars, and we’ve only encountered a few alien species. But still. It’s a really fun and really popular game series.
The Flood is one of it’s most iconic enemies. They’re a zombie-like parasite species that takes over and mutates any and all organic life, even going as far to be capable of manning space craft and wielding the weaponry of the species it assimilates. They’re so damn dangerous that honestly, if we’re talking irl logic, we only manage to beat them because of plot armor. If we had to face them irl we’d just be another assimilated species.
And to be frank, the Star Wars galaxy would be fucked unless they caught the Flood early. Or they had the Death Star. Or were willing to sacrifice any and all planets it arrived on, regardless of if there were survivors or not. And if Jedi got taken over, that would just make it a whole lot worse. I don’t wanna imagine what the Flood can do with force powers.
That's actually exactly what the case is. The Mgnaal-Mgnaal is an entity that takes the form of viscous black ooze. It can take over the bodies of living things just with physical contact and grow in size by absorbing biomass. A huge number of planets are dead in the unknown regions because of it.
@@kegmonkey5648 well, shit. XD Theory probably confirmed then.
my favourite planet is tython, on that planet was darth bane's dual with jedi master vanlenthe farfalla and his strike team in belia darzu's fortress. it's also impossible to find
Center point Station:
"Hold my tentacles"
My question is; what were those unknown shadow creatures that were in the 2002 video game Star Wars: Bounty Hunter? I found one in a hanger bay on the Tatooine level and for whatever reason it had a bounty on it. Name was unknown, gender was unknown, species was unknown, but I forgot the reason for the bounty... I think it was for murder or something
Little do they know, Earth lies in wait withing the Unknown Regions. Preparing to pounce and exploit their lack of strategy to create a Galactic Empire of it's own.
It would be really funny if the side of the galaxy was a gateaway to another dimension and its ours, and theres just the sol system sitting there
Quick answer: The amount of things that can yeet on everyone in the known galaxy is immense so they dont go there
Don't lead the monsters back to where the rest of us live
Insane Cultist Leader that discovers they aren't actually bound to the eastern galactic dish:
*"The forthcoming of Ooradryl is at hand !!!"*
5:54 there's a planet called Lego in the outer rim
Iego* that's an i
Angels live in it's moons, I think
when you put abeloth in the thumbnail, I got excited.
Exploration:
Automate it, just like the Empire sent out probes to find the Rebel Base.
A probe has a hyperdrive.
You send it to the nearest star. It takes readings then returns to base after a set time.
The probe is then reprogrammed and sent out again.
It doesn’t return? Set a more cautious route.
This is how bodies and gravities are mapped.
A second series then covertly explores the safe paths, to avoid meeting a threat. (Sith, Borg, Earth)
new Vader line " bring order to the slice of the Galaxy"!!!!
I'm gonna guess that there has to be a planet call Earth, somewhere in the Unknown Regions
Does that mean somewhere, Abeloth passes though our solar system once in a while?
@@Traventity 2020 was made by abeloth.
well the movies start with "a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away" so I'm gonna say no
@@45678ret I mean you'll never know it could be there
@@CommanderSlayers no
It actually makes a lot of sense that much of the Galaxy remains unexplored. Most of Star Wars's FTL travel involves the use of Hyperspace to shortcut directly from planet to planet without needing to pass through all of the space in the middle. If you aim your hyperdrive for deep space without a destination in mind, odds are far more likely that you are going to come out of Hyperspace in the gravity well of a black hole or in the corona of a star than find a new planet. Hyperspace lanes are Hyperspace lanes because they are well traveled, and thus well mapped, with each passage feeding the readings of their sensors back to those passing behind them via the Holonet. The less travelers on the lane, the more likely it is that something will have changed since the last time someone scanned the lane for rogue asteroids. Busier areas with a lot of objects or less traffic take more time because it is necessary to drop out of hyperspace to scan and make sure you aren't going to hit anything that could turn your ship into nothing but a memory in the stardust.
So what you're saying is that the unexplored half of the galaxy was just too. far. away.
Lets be honest
Extended Universe has more and better content than anything canon under Disney.
Facts!
And let's be honest, also has the worst content, holiday special, splinter of the minds eye, the crystal star, fate of the jedi series, the prequels until the Skywalker saga came to be the new object of hatred for ruining SW, again.....
i don’t even watch star wars why am i watching this.....
also this is very interesting.
The second season of bad batch, or the 3rd season of the mandalorian could focus some of their attention on exploring new worlds in the unknown regions.
Actually according to Pablo Hidalgo, the Unknown Regions is like a dark forest that nobody has explored and mapped out, while Wild Space is off the edge of the map
Because readers look at a galactic map the way we look at a world map and assume that just because a region is highlighted that means we’ve seen it all.
Galaxies are massive.
In reality, our Galaxy alone is large enough to house the universes of Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, and Babylon 5 without any of them even meeting eachother.
There are actually some planets of the unknown regions which have been explored in canon. One of them is Mortis which was found in Star wars clone wars by Anakin, Ashoka and Obi-Wan. Another one is Exegol the planet where Palpatine was hiding after his death until star wars episode 9.
How did he survive flbeing thrown into a planet sized fusion reactor?
#askeck
Where do you think the expanded universe would have gone from a story perspective if the Disney deal hadn't happened? Maybe beyond the Legacy comics, or some other storyline? Thanks!
I was really hoping that you would point out some of the planets we're familiar with such as Tattooine, Naboo, Hoth, Dagoba.
As soon as they tell us what’s there the aesthetic is gone. It’s best to never know.
It depends on what they tell us and how well they tell it.
But I agree that the way Star Wars Canon has been going, they wouldn't tell us anything we want to hear. The grand mystery (and beauty, and terror) of the unknown would be replaced with rotten cheese and trashy vandalism.
But what do we KNOW about the unexplored region? There's got to be some knowledge, rumours, or myths! What horrors or strange phenomenons occurs in this region of space?!
I didn’t know Star Wars had so much lore in the galaxy, but very cool
The video has 10 likes and no views how do you have 10 accounts Also the cutest puppy ever
Dude you already know that’s UA-cam just not refreshing after you click on the video, you know it and so does everyone else, so why do you make these comments?
What if the Western region contained large Empires … or even Federations - it could be the Alpha Quadrant.
But seriously could there be very large civilizations there that the _'known regions'_ know nothing about?
And how easy was it for planets to stay hidden on even the eastern side? The Lasat had a hidden backup Homeworld, with a bit of effort could the Wookies have vast populations on unknown worlds? Could a bunch of Jedi Order 66 survivors have a thriving organisation on a world off the hyperspace routes .
Could there be a massive Force sensitive organisation on the Western side, Jedi like but completely independent.
Maybe you have to use the force to navigate through the unknown regions?
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 🌲
I love the fact you know about electronic gems, I dont know very many people who do and I love them
40K fans: *laughs in complete galactic conquest*
Aren't there space orcs, space elves, xenomorphs, space necromancers, space borgs, space demons, and extradimensional chaos gods who sort of each have their own ideas about who actually owns the galaxy?
