  • Today we delve deep into the mystery of the Unknown Regions, examining why, in both Star Wars Legends and Canon, the Unknown Regions remain unknown and mysterious.
    The Unknown Regions will likely play a big role in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, with Snoke perhaps coming from - and certainly now hiding in - the Unknown Regions. But, why are these regions unknown? Why has the Star Wars galaxy not managed to explore these areas of space? I'll explain the answers, as it relates to both Legends and Canon, in today's Star Wars lore video!

      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.

    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
      @JohnGeorgeBauerBuis 3 роки тому +4

      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.

    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.

      And to chart the place, you need really good cartographers and explorers to actually explore it.

      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.

      So Galactic Civilization has ended due to a war with a Super Weapon but many planets form new Civilizations. The Republic, The Empire, and the First Order are gone but new Factions of one planet, regions on a planet, or multiple regional planets remain. Some technology is lost but there is technology level differences from planet to planet. You have to form a new galactic empire while fixing the environmental and Geological damage from the war.

      Or do you mean a RPG that gives you free will to choose different quests and interact with different programmed characters with its own personality. All in unique different areas of the game world (OR in this case universe). The possibilities would be endless. There would have to be multiple planets with its own unique fictional culture and characters with different backstories, personalities, and physical features. Along with pre-programmed quests unique to each area depending on which galactic faction you are apart of.

      But that doesn't explain the lack of force sensitives on our planet, there are at least a few per planetary species so eventually we would find out about it, knowing our government we could already but it's hidden from the public but the force is older than time so its impossible to conceal it forever especially when the people who are force sensitive are seemingly random.

More commonly, some people have high intuition, sometimes called a 6th sense, which is basically like listening to or being guided by the Force. Theres even philosophies and religions about it, thohght its known by different names of course. Taoism is a great example.

    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

    If Jakku was the starting point for The Empire to venture out into the Unknown Regions, you'd travel to the solar system closest to it first, and then go from there...
    Like stepping stones, only you're using solar systems instead...
    I'm sure eventually you'll develop a hyperspace lane from that maybe...

      shaynethegmann that would be interesting and hard to research lore wise with destiny.

      That would be interesting but I think a much better destiny enemy would be the vex.

      i think with the vex it would be 1 sided as the vex can simulate everything in the star wars universe

      shaynethegmann I think it would depend entirely on Oryx's connection with the deep in the star wars universe. If he teamed up with his two sisters though, everyones fucksville. The only reason the entire galaxy of the destiny universe wasnt completely obliterated by the hive in the first place was because the 3 hive gods decided to declare war on each other instead for thousands upon thousands of years. The last time they teamed up they nearly destroyed the traveller and actually did kill all of the gods of the deep to prove a point.

      Ethan Quirk exactly, if he brought the whole family we would be doomed.

    Grand Admiral Thrawn vs Thel 'Vadam

      hand to hand? or ship combat. hand to hand the arbiter - sangeihli are way over 2m tall, blindingly fast, incredibly powerful, and trained and disciplined in the way of war from childhood. Ship to ship, likely thrawn, as sangheili were both soldiers and tacticians, and although good at both, not quit masters of ship to ship combat, the way thrawn has specialised. However covenant technology does surpass that of the empire, so who knows.

      Thel Vadum in both. In space, he can just tell the Covenant fleet to snipe Thrawn's fleet with energy projectors from tens of thousands of kilometres away

    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 :)

    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.
