Honestly the ancient histories of Star Wars has fascinated me more than almost every other era of Star Wars. The ancient Sith, Rakata Empire, Coruscant before it was an entire city, the early days of the Republic, exploration of hyperspace. All of these make so many great stories that are more deserving of high budget medias: probably more than milking the Skywalker name over and over again

The Harry Turtledove "World War" series of books had something like that occur but not in colonising[mostly]. Premise, during the early years of ww2 an alien lizard species that had reconnoitered earth for invasion back during the first crusade comes back with really slow ftl and attempts to invade and take over the planet. They EMP'd most of the planet but that doesn't do much of anything and we actually have a decent shot at defending against them. It crawls along so much that in the later century we first send our first envoy military ship to their home system. This is the part that jives with your post. On the way there it takes long enough to travel that the speed of the ftl tech is furthered to a point of half the speed\time taken and a second ship catches up with the first.

Hehehe yes like in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy where they sent sleeper warships and then invented FTL, made peace, lived so much in harmony that they didn't have much weapons around anymore and then the sleeper warships arrived and despite being very old, they just destroyed these new hippies. 🤣
As I understand it, getting into Hyperdrive is not overly hard. The issue has always been _navigation_ once you are there. Rakatta and the Skywalkers used the Force. But that does limit reliability to planets strong with the force (which usually means life). Gree used a really advanced computer. The Lassat somehow used their staffs. However, it is worth remembering that the Speed of Light in Star Wars seems _much_ higher then in the Real World. STL travel to another system is quite feasible - if somewhat uncommon. As seen with the Falcon traveling to Bespin 4 and that time the Mandalorian slowboated to another planet. Or that time they could see Starkiller Base firing from literally lightyears away.

Actually Disney came up with an explanation for Starkiller Base's shots being seen from seemingly impossible distances - a stupid explanation, but an explanation nonetheless: According to a tweet from Pablo Hidalgo, the vast quantities of energy released by firing of the Starkiller weapon had the ability to create a temporary rip in sub-hyperspace, thus allowing the Hosnian system's destruction to be viewed from across the galaxy as it occurred.

I would feel remiss if I did not mention the massive organic hyperspace Launch Gates of Kathol, which the native Kathol species used to colonize their native sector in the Outer Rim. They remained operational up until the Old Republic era, when a couple of Dark Jedi tried to conquer the Kathol system, overloaded and destroyed the Kathol Gate, and the resulting energy surge rendered the remaining gates in the network inoperable. The so-called "Rift Disaster" created the chaotic and dangerous Kathol Rift, and even stranded a large number of ships belonging to the Char Ontee in Otherspace (who eventually became the Charon).

Kinda but not really. Mass Relays require a destination Relay. And Hyperspace Cannons fired ships into Hyperspace. Mass Relays just reduce the mass of a ship to presumably negative. Similar sure but still vastly different. It's like saying the Stargates from Stargate are like the gates of Cowboy Beebop.
I know there was probably lots of computing that went into the Hyperspace Cannons (I'm guessing functionally something along the lines of the Mass Relays from Mass Effect) but I like to imagine them at first just yeeting vessels into hyperspace and hoping for the best.

No other race has navigators that can simply decide to arrive at the other end of the galaxy instantaneously, knowing where to go and how to get there through the force alone, be it from a planet or aboard a ship. They could be the most powerful race in the galaxy but they know there's no point to try so they've just been chilling since the Rakatan days, and are one of the only ancient races that hasn't "Fallen" since then, because they never strove against the force to "rise".

The hyperspace cannon remind me of the concept of laser highways that could be made in reality. A laser pushes a ship along the highway. Then it reaches the next laser which is a couple light days further down the line. This imparts more speed and so on and so forth until the ship hits the light speed barrier.

While not equipped with planet-destroying cannons, they could have some primitive hyperdrives based on bending the will of the Force, just like kyber crystal “bleeding” process.

One of my favorite stories from this time period has to be the Dawn of the Jedi comics where the Je’daii fight the Rakata. (Honestly, it kinda feels like if the Je’daii had kept their balance of the Force, maybe a lot of galactic history might’ve gone a lot better. Maybe the dark Jedi never would’ve arisen, been banished, and became the Sith when they came to Korriban… but I guess that’s neither here nor there, and their way of balance has been lost to history…)

Well the sith wouldn't have been a thing if they still retained their ways if balance .Most of the events of modern galactic history has been shaped mostly by the never-ending conflict of the Jedi and the Sith .The Star wars timeline would have been unrecognisable .There would have been no Skywalker family whatsoever as Anakin was born due to plagueis's machinations with the force and as a result the force sending the choosen one to destroy the sith who have pushed things too far . Such experiments would have never occurred and that would mean no Luke or Leia Skywalker or any of the other Skywalker descendants for example .

I think that's just a continuity break. You can transmit through hyperspace to speak in real time (I've always assumed this is by ascribing token mass to a message to then push through and these seem to take significant comms infrastructure), but you should be in a communications blackout when FTL as it's nearly impossible to know where you are vs. another location and send a message to intercept it. A lot of sci fi has some quantum entanglement based system to have a way to have two points stay in contact no matter what, so I image SW has something like that.

Star Wars has always been about plot convenience, it’s fantasy rather than Sci-Fi. There’s no established “science” in Star Wars that makes any real sense and any explanation is scrubbed when they need a new one for story sake. Lucas didn’t plan for Vader to be Luke’s father, which is why it took 40 years to explain Obi-Wan’s “Vader betrayed and murdered your father” remark. He had Luke and Leia kissing before he decided they were twins. Palpating was definitely dead until JJ had to come up with something - anything - for the third sequel. The fact is, Star Wars is an unorganized mess.
I just want to give you props for coming up with so many interesting video ideas for years and so frequently. This is an interesting topic for sure. Thanks!
The Star Wars setting also has something called the Dimensional Displacement Drive, basically the Star Trek warp drive, but they were less than a tenth the speed of even the slowest hyperdrive, required vastly more power, and were inherently dangerous. There was also the Tumble Drive, a type of hyperdrive with extremely unstable and inaccurate hyperdrive that's a gamble every time it used. Maybe you arrive, maybe you land in uncharted space, maybe you materialize inside a star.
The two most over-the-top travel capabilities I've ever encountered in sci-fi both come from the third book of Peter Hamilton's 'Night's Dawn' trilogy. In second place, we have the alien Kiint, who can teleport you directly from the surface of one planet, to the surface of another planet, * in... another... galaxy... * (basically anywhere in the local cluster) instantly, with no apparent technology at either place. But they are a distant second compared to... The Sleeping God. The only known artifact of an unimaginably advanced alien species, gone now since they 'got bored' with this reality and went somewhere else. The Sleeping God can open wormholes that: A: Instantly take you to an entirely different galactic supercluster on the far side of the universe. B: Instantly take you to another time period, millions, billions, even trillions of years away. C: Instantly take you to another reality. D: Can be so big entire * solar systems * can pass through them unaffected.

Hi Eck, just wondering: In the X-wing fan film you promoted a while back, we see the Lusankya and other star destroyers jump to hyperspace from within Coruscant's atmosphere. According to my knowledge this shouldn't be possible, as you need to be at a hyperspace node at the start of a hyperspace lane before you can jump. I'd really appreciate an explanation.
The Hypergates is a similar concept to “Space bridges” in transformers!
Remember that episode of Rebels where Ezra enters The StarGate and almost gets hypnotized by Palpatine? That's another way. doesn't get talked as much. Probably a whole ass system of travel as well.

After reading the first book in the High Republic series I found this subject interesting. The truth about how wild and dangerous, the affect on mental health of various beings is part of galactic history.
Sleeper ships reminds me of Star Trek! & the superhumans from the Neogeneic Wars! The sleeper ship was called the Botany Bay! Which was launched before warp drives were invented (give or take a few years)! Interesting parallel between the two!
One thing that you missed mentioning was the _dimensional drive,_ an early FTL technology that enabled FTL travel in realspace by rippling spacetime around a vessel. A lot of the spread of humans throughout the core worlds in ancient times IIRC used sleeper ships with dimensional drive FTL and crews in cryo, for voyages of a decade or more. (The way this FTL system was stated to work - rippling spacetime ahead and aft of a vessel - makes it pretty much an Alcubierre drive, also known as a ST style warp drive. It's a theoretically possible FTL drive according to real life physics.)
Would love to see you make a video on the Grysk’s from Star Wars canon
Great video my guy! When do you think we as a species could acquire this technology?!?
The dog at the end lol
2:30 This part makes me recall the lore on the propagation of Scarlaccs. If I am not mistaken, they launch spores that travel slower than lightspeed to infect other planets.
I just love that this all happened a long time ago. In a galaxy far away lol
There is something called a dimensional drive that, from the Wookieepedia page description, sounds very similar to the Star Trek warp drive. That could be the FTL method the sleep ships used that you mentioned.
Would you consider hyperspace cannons similar to mass relays from the mass effect universe, also did the infinity gates of the qua allow for ship travel or only person sized entry ?
I want to know more about how the infinity and hyper gates operated as I use a portal gate system in my sci-fi fantasy world. Sounds like a system that could be much safer and even quicker than hyperspace
I'm glad that they are making some of the KORTO stuff cannon. Now if they'd make Revan cannon.
I like the idea of the hyperspace cannon. That could be a awesome premise for a TV show. I'm thinking Lost in Space, but in the unknown regions or wild space. The cannons are spread out and our heros have a crazy adventure to find each one to get back home. Lucasflim, get on it!

It might just be me, but they've always fascinated me more than their Nemoidian cousins. 2. A closer look at Xizor and Black Sun, since you mentioned them in the Top 5 crime groups video. 3. Your thoughts on the Old Republic Era.
I hope that you explore the Star Gate franchise one day. They have OP ship propulsion technology that would make any Jedi council member lust, for instance they have giant star gates that allow whole fleets to transport to a whole new galaxy instantaneously.

In stellaris there is a stellar catapult that is built around stars and can be used to “catapult” a fleet to a general area of the galaxy it’s pretty cool
