Hyperspace travel times calculator (new and improved).

A while ago, I made a bare-bones hyperspace travel times calculator with Google Sheets. It did the basics of what needed to be done, but it wasn’t all that impressive and could be difficult to use. As I’ve learned more how to use spreadsheets (specifically Excel), I’ve made a new and improved version here: Hyperspace Calculator (.xlsx)

Every number is completely malleable. There are NO numbers hard-coded into formulas, making personalization and modification much easier. NO Excel knowledge required! Just change the numbers in the tables, you won’t have to touch any formulas.

If you just want to use this tool at its most basic, read the quick start guides. If you want to know how to get the most out of this tool, read the advanced guides, although it may be worth skimming the quick start guides first.

In the “Ships (table)” sheet, enter the appropriate stats for the ship you want to use (Hyperdrive class, fuel consumption modifier [I use 1, +1 for each point of silhouette past 4], and campaign name) and delete the other rows (Ctrl&-).

In the “Games (table)” sheet, enter your campaign name, the desired number of inches per hour (default is one), and the desired number of fuel cells consumed per hour (default is 0.5). Note: Hour:Inch is based on a 500 parsecs (1/3 grid square) per inch measurement. If you are working off a different measurement, see “Advanced setup>Games (table)>Hour:Inch.”

You’re good to go! Move on to “Calculation quick start” to see how to get your results.

Once you’ve entered the necessary data (see “Setup quick start”), you’re ready to get your results!

Choose your ship.
Add a new row (see “Expanding tables (tutorial)”).
Name your route.
Measure your route and enter the number (decimal please!) in the “Distance (Inches)” column.
Select a class of hyperlane (not sure what class? Enter something not on the list and read the error message).
Select region. (Note. If a trip crosses regions or travels over different classes of hyperlane, you will need to list separate “legs” of the journey. Alternatively, choose “Minor” and “Outer Rim” to multiply by 1 and ignore the variance in modifiers.)
Enter any additional modifiers (such as from Advantage or Threat) in the “Additional Modifiers” cell. Positive numbers increase the time, negative numbers decrease the time.
Filter out any unwanted entries and look at the “Total” row. Ta-da! (If you don’t know how to filter, it’s the little drop-down arrow beside the column’s header.)

For more on fuel, see “Advanced calculation.”

Before you can use the “Calculator” sheet, you need to input some basic data.

You need to do this first, as it is the source of another table’s Data Validation drop-down list.

Under “Campaign,” put the name of each campaign.

Under “Hour:Inch” put the base number of inches travelled in an hour. I’m basing my measurements off a galaxy grid of 3 inches per square, so 500 parsecs per inch. If you’re using a different measurement, you’ll need to adapt this number to fit your grid’s size. Here are some common alternatives to get you started:

500 parsecs on the galaxy map in any given CRB is 3/16s of an inch, so you’d need 5.33 to get the (approximately) same result as 1 if you were using that map.
For my anywhere-else-in-the-world friends, you’ll be using centimeters. If 500 parsecs=1 inch, it equals 2.54 centimeters (so 2.54). If 500 parsecs=3/16 of an inch, it equals 0.476cm (so 13.54). I know it’s a bit complicated, but that’s what happens when you convert Imperial to Metric (hence a nice, neat number like “.50” becoming “12.7mm”).

From there, just adjust it however you want to get the number you’ll personally use. Heck, just round it off and make it easier on yourself. I’m just telling you how to match the default of 1 hour=1 inch.

Under “Hour:Fuel” put how much fuel is consumed in an hour of hyperspace travel. If you want a fuel-intensive, more expensive campaign, increase the number. If you want a less expensive campaign, tone it down. Default is 0.5, or one fuel cell every two hours. (I run it that sil 3-4 ships have a capacity of 50, while sil 5 ships have a capacity of 100 and sil 6+ ships increase by additional 100 cells each.)

Under “Ships” put the names of your ships. Under drive class, put the ships’ hyperdrive classes. Under fuel cost (“consumption” was too long), put an appropriate number. This basically multiplies fuel consumption. I use 1, +1 for each point of silhouette past 4. If you don’t want to bother with fuel costs, set it to 0. Under “Game,” put the name of your game or campaign. This is so you can easily use the sheet for multiple campaigns that may have different settings for some of the variables (such as how fast hyperspace travel is).

You shouldn’t have to do any adjustment here, but this shows the modifiers added to your time based on what region of space you are navigating. The Deep Core is very clustered and slow to navigate, while the Outer Rim is far less dense. Here, you can add regions (“Hapes Cluster”), manipulate the modifiers, or even flatten them out. To see how to add to tables, see “Expanding Tables (tutorial).”

Like “Region Modifier,” you shouldn’t have to do any adjustment here. But this shows the modifiers added to your time based on the hyperlane you are navigating. The Corellian Run is much faster than the Bakura Trace (like an interstate highway compared to a back road). Here, you can add hyperlane types, add specific hyperlanes, manipulate the modifiers, or even flatten them out. To see how to add to tables, see “Expanding Tables (tutorial).”

This shows the cost to purchase fuel at a given class of port. Higher-class ports have higher docking fees, but provide better service (including security, which may or may not be a good thing) at a better price. I only list the cost for fuel here, however. This is straightforward enough, manipulate it however you want.

Once you’ve entered the necessary data (see “Advanced setup”), you’re ready to get your results!

From the drop-down menu, select the name of the ship you want to use. This will automatically fill the Hour:Inch and Hour:Fuel cells, besides telling the formulas what your hyperdrive class is.
Add more rows. The “IFERROR” part of the formula keeps the new rows from giving you a bunch of annoying #N /A errors.
Name your route. I recommend “Start-Destination.” If your trip will cross various regions and hyperlane speeds, you’ll need several entries, adding an entry in the “Leg” column to order and group each piece of the single route.
Measure your route and list it under “Distance (Inches).” Remember region boundaries and hyperlane speeds! For more information on the Hour:Inch ratio, see “Advanced setup>Games (table)>Hour:Inch.”
Select hyperlane from the drop-down menu. A major hyperroute would be like the Perlemian, while a minor route would be something like the Bakura Trace. Indeterminate just means it’s probably there, but not listed on your map, and uncharted means you aren’t following a mapped hyperlane.
Select region from the drop-down menu.
Enter any additional modifiers in the “Additional Modifiers” cell, such as effects from Advantage or Threat, or just variables you as the GM want to throw in there. My method for Advantage/Threat is 5% per, or 15% for a Triumph/Despair, to a max of 25% +/-. Positive numbers increase the time by X%, negative numbers decrease the time by X%.
Filter your “Route” column so you only see the routes you’re actually taking and look at the “Total” row.
Enter the class of starport you’ll patronize upon reaching your destination in the “Starport Class” cell.
Look at your totals.
“Fuel”: How many fuel cells you consumed on each leg, and across the whole trip.
“Trip Cost”: The cost to replace the fuel cells expended on each individual leg . It rounds down to a whole fuel cell!! The “Trip Cost” “Total” row calculates NOT based on adding up the rows above it, but based on the TOTAL number of fuel cells consumed, again rounded down to a whole fuel cell. This is because you don’t buy partial fuel cells.
“Real Cost”: The exact cost for the exact amount of fuel consumed. Straightforward, but not the most helpful when you’re at the pump and need to buy a whole number of fuel cells.
“Proportional Cost”: The proportional cost of each leg of the trip based on the TOTAL COST TO REFUEL, rounded down to a whole fuel cell. This is not a particularly useful feature, but adding it provides a complete economic review of the refueling costs. If I only left the previous two columns, it would be somewhat incomplete.

To expand a table, simply type on a subsequent row. Alternatively, click on the tiny gray triangle in the bottom right-hand corner and drag. Then enter your data in the new rows.

Don’t worry! This won’t mess up any of the formulas, and you won’t have to change any named ranges or Data Validation lists. Because of how I’ve set it up, they’ll expand automatically with your table.

I include examples of all of this in the calculator, hopefully that makes it easy to figure out how to use this. I know it may seem intimidating, but it’s a pretty easy learning curve. The basics are simple, and once you’re more acquainted with how it works modifying it should be a cakewalk. But if it isn’t, I’ll be happy to help you.

Warning: For whatever reason, VLOOKUPs don’t like words that start with “Alt” or entries that start with “Clone” or “Clown” (why clown, I have no earthly idea). Please do not attempt to use such words in the names of ships, campaigns, hyperlanes, or regions. You will get an error.

Star Wars’ Hyperspace Explained

One of the star wars galaxy's most iconic visuals is more fascinating than ever right now..

Han Solo and Chewbacca look out of the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon, as it accelerates to Lightspeed in preparation to jump into Hyperspace.

Lucasfilm’s version of faster-than-light travel—hyperspace—is as fundamental to the worldbuilding of Star Wars as the Force . It’s the backbone of making its galaxy an interconnected universe of potential , a concept that has become more and more integral to some of the franchise’s biggest storytelling pushes. But how it works, and how people use it, has become more complex and fascinating than ever.

So What Is Hyperspace?

Hyperspace is one of the oldest elements of Star Wars we know, having first glimpsed it in action when the Millennium Falcon raced on its way from Tatooine towards Alderaan (or, what was left of it) in 1977's A New Hope . Although the concept of faster-than-light travel is no stranger to science fiction, how Star Wars has started playing with it in recent years has made it one of its most quietly compelling worldbuilding mechanics. It can be charted, traveled, manipulated, even weaponized—and the very ramifications of using it outside of the expected point-a-to-point-b mechanics can upend what we thought we knew about the galaxy far, far away in an instant.

On its most simple level, hyperspace—not unlike Star Trek ’s warp speed or myriad other sci-fi series’ take on interstellar travel—is an alternate dimension of reality that vessels (among other things) can slip in and out of at speeds unbound by the rules of physics in realspace. Accessible only by breaking the speed of light (j umping to lightspeed, as it’s known in Star Wars lingo), time and velocity operate differently in hyperspace, vastly reducing the time it takes to get from one point to another. Its discovery formed the possibility for galactic civilization as we know it in Star Wars to actually exist.

Image for article titled Star Wars’ Hyperspace Explained

It’s not all that easy though. Navigating it is still not fundamentally unlike traveling in realspace, it just happens at impossible-to-comprehend speeds. Things that exist in realspace cast adjacent shadows in hyperspace, meaning navigation can be difficult without proper knowledge or, as we will see become common in the Star Wars galaxy, pre-charted safe routes. Traveling in hyperspace can be incredibly dangerous both during the process and coming out of it.

As Han tells Luke in A New Hope , an unplanned exit (intentional or otherwise) could lead you to come out of hyperspace in the middle of a star, or within the gravity well of a planet or spatial anomaly. Hitting another ship or debris in hyperspace can have massive ramifications—in hyperspace and realspace—even beyond the fatal consequence of hitting something else at FTL speeds. We’ve witnessed this in the Great Distaster of the High Republic era , when debris from a ship destroyed mid-hyperspace travel was shot across the known galaxy and accelerated to speeds capable of wiping out entire planets . Hyperspace might be fundamental to how the Star Wars galaxy works, but it’s also something that, even by the time of the movies, people generally just don’t know all that much about.

How Do You Travel Through Hyperspace?

Most hyperspace travel we see in Star Wars media is technological; s tarships, everything from as small as an X-Wing to as large as a Star Destroyer, as long as it had a hyperdrive, could enter and exit the dimension. Fuelled by hypermatter, the engines shoot vessels to the speed that allows them to break into hyperspace in the first place, maintaining their mass and velocity (which is how Admiral Holdo’s maneuver in The Last Jedi proved to be so devastating ). This travel takes place along hyperspace lanes, safe passageways in the dimension that had been charted out hundreds and hundreds of years beforehand by the earliest explorers of the Old Republic, marked by beacons which provide route data and computational power as well as physical guide points to ships as they made jumps. In “contemporary” Star Wars —for want of a better word about a story that takes place a “ long time ago”—the computation power and layouts of those routes required to travel was now handled by onboard navigational systems known as navicomputers, or, to enhance limited computers in smaller vessels, an astromech droid’s internal systems.

Vessels could also fall out of hyperspace, intentionally or otherwise, at other points. Failure of a hyperdrive, for example, would cause a ship to jerk back into realspace. But they could also be forced: a gravitational pull could affect the velocity needed to breach hyperspace (which is why attempting to jump to lightspeed within the atmosphere of a planet was considered dangerous enough to be close to impossible) and a strong enough pull could block or terminate the process. The Empire built specific cruisers, known as the Interdictor class, that generated powerful gravity wells that could both stop nearby ships from entering hyperspace and pull them out mid-jump. This technology was vital to the Empire as, for much of Star Wars ’ history, it was deemed impossible to track a vessel once it made the jump to lightspeed. Just decades later, however, Imperial successor the First Order cracked the ability to do so. It broke a generation of conventional wisdom by isolating a computer system in a localized hyperspace field and accelerating its programming capabilities.

Are There Other Ways to Travel in Hyperspace?

Yes, there are other ways to navigate hyperspace. The Chiss Ascendancy existed in the “Unknown Regions” of the galaxy which had not been charted by hyperspace prospectors for the Galactic Republic or the Empire. They employed a secretive corps of hyperspace navigators (known in their language as ozyly-esehembo ) to help facilitate the computations required to navigate the volatile spaces in the region. Translated into basic as “Sky-walkers,” these Chiss were primarily very young girls between the ages of eight and 13. Sensitive to the Force, they had what was known in Chiss culture as “Third Sight,” the precognitive ability to help ships navigate through realspace and to map limited hyperspace jumps. Kept secret from all except the upper echelons of Chiss military and public society, each ship in the Ascendancy navy would be assigned a Sky-walker, and they would rotate out frequently. Why? Because Sky-walkers, no matter what training or preventative measures were taken, largely lost their ability to use Third Sight by the time they were teenagers.

The Chiss were not the only Force-sensitive species that could use those abilities in such a manner, however incredibly rare such a manifestation of power actually was. In the time of the High Republic —roughly 200 years before the events of the main Star Wars movies—a force-sensitive human named Mari San Tekka could use her abilities to detect safe, but unconventional passageways through hyperspace known simply as “Paths.” Deemed too risky or even impossible by traditional prospectors’ standards, San Tekka’s paths could defy previously held conventional wisdom—like the ability to enter and exit hyperspace near spatial anomalies, or within and near the gravitational pull of a planet.

Due to the rarity of her abilities, however, San Tekka was an extremely valuable asset. She was captured and utilized exclusively by the pirate force known as the Nihil and sustained well beyond her natural lifespan by being hooked into medical systems aboard the flagship of the Nihil’s leader Marchion Ro (and his father before him, Asgar), the Gaze Electric . As they accelerated their operation outside of the Outer Rim territories they originated in and became a galactic-scale threat to the Republic, every ship was equipped with a “Path Engine.” It was a secondary hyperdrive that translated t he data provided by San Tekka’s abilities into more standardized navigational information.

But humanoids weren’t the only sapient beings that could tap into this biological method of navigation. Introduced in Star Wars Rebels , the Purrgil were a species of whale-like semi-sentients that lived in deep space and had the unique natural ability to manifest “simu-tunnels” in hyperspace. While rare in and of themselves, Purrgils have taken on an almost folkloric status among space pilots and navigators. They’re ancient enough that it’s believed the study of their travel is what inspired galactic society to develop their own means of traveling through hyperspace in the first place, thousands of years before the Star Wars films. Additionally, their biological ways of travel and thought-processing formed the basis for the technology behind everything from the Wayfinders of ancient Force orders like the Jedi and Sith, to the hyperspace beacons and drives that made early intergalactic scouting possible.

The Physics of the Millennium Falcon's Jump to Hyperspace

inside smuggler's run ride at star wars galaxy's edge at disneyland

I'm a fan of both Star Wars and physics , but I have to admit I don't know what the "jump to hyperspace" means. In short, it's a way for spaceships in the Star Wars universe to travel great distances in very little time. It should be clear that hyperspace travel is not at the speed of light . Light has a speed of 3 x 10 8 meters per second. This means that even traveling to the closest star (from Earth) would take a couple of years. Some other weird things would also happen according to Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity—but suffice it to say that a jump to hyperspace is not just a matter of traveling at the speed of light.

One common idea about hyperspace is that it involves extra dimensions . Perhaps traveling through this extra dimension allows a starship to take a short cut through space so that a trip that would take years instead takes hours. It's just a thought.

But what about something we can actually measure? Can we determine the acceleration of a vessel as it makes the jump to hyperspace? Oh, yeah—we totally can, and we will. For this analysis I am going to use the shot of the Millennium Falcon as it jumps to hyperspace at the end of The Empire Strikes Back . To estimate the acceleration, we can look at the angular size of the back of the Falcon as it moves away.

What does angular size have to do with this anyway? Our eyes (and movie cameras) don't see the size of things. Instead, they see the angular size of objects. If you draw an imaginary line from your eye out to one side of an object and then another line to the other side of the object, you would make a tiny wedge. The angle between these two lines is the angular size.

This is why when things get farther away, they appear smaller. But if you know the angular size (θ) in radians and the actual size ( L ), you can find the distance ( r ). Oh, I know what you're thinking. That relationship only works for the arc-length of a circle. Yes, that's technically true. If the object is sufficiently far away, however, then the difference between arc-length and width is super tiny, and we can ignore the distinction.

Now for some data. All I need to do is measure the position of the sides of the Falcon and use that to calculate the angular size in each frame of the video during the jump to hyperspace. Of course there is a big problem. I don't actually know the angular size at the beginning of the jump. I'm just going to have to estimate it. Let's say that the Millennium Falcon is 25 meters wide and starts off at a distance of 100 meters from the camera. With that, I can set the angular field of view for the scene. This gives the following plot of angular size vs. time for that Falcon as it escapes.

With that angular size and the width of the Millennium Falcon, I can calculate the distance from the camera to the starship.

There is a quite a bit to consider in this graph. Just look at the final position—around 8,000 meters. So, in about half a second the Millennium Falcon goes from a position of just 100 meters to about 5 miles. If you consider the average speed (change in position over change in time), that's about 29,000 miles per hour (for Imperial readers). No matter the units, that's a super fast speed.

OK, but what about the acceleration? I can fit a quadratic function to the data (as seen in the graph). This is useful since an object moving with a constant acceleration also will have a quadratic for the equation of motion. Since the motion of an object with constant acceleration comes up quite often in physics courses, we give this equation a special name—the kinematic equation. It gives the position of an object at different times based on the acceleration (and the initial position and velocity). Here is the fitting equation along with the kinematic equation for constant acceleration.

Here you can see that the fitting number in front of the t 2 term should be equal to half the acceleration. That puts the Falcon's acceleration at 33,922 meters per second squared. Ummmm ... that is a super high acceleration. If you drop an object on the surface of the Earth, it will have an acceleration of 9.8 m/s 2 . If you eject yourself from a fighter aircraft , you will have the painful acceleration of something like 60 m/s 2 . This spaceship jumping to hyperspace accelerates a little bit more than that.

What about the g-force? OK, let's be clear about two points here. First, surely the Millennium Falcon has some type of "inertial damper" that allows people inside the ship to accelerate without dying . Second, Star Wars isn't real life so it doesn't matter (but it's still fun to analyze). Now, for the g-force. This is a fake force. It's a way to make an accelerating reference frame behave like a non-accelerating reference frame. In this case, the fake force is essentially just a measure of the acceleration of the inside of the Millennium Falcon.

The measure of this fake force is in terms of the gravitational force on Earth—this is the acceleration in g's. If the ship accelerated at 9.8 m/s 2 , that would be a fake force of 1 g. Inside the ship, it would feel like an extra gravitational weight pushing on you in the opposite direction that the spaceship accelerates. So, the acceleration in the jump to hyperspace would be a g-force of 3,461 g's. That's a large enough acceleration to easily squish a human if you don't have something like an inertial damper.

But wait! We also have an idea about the g-forces inside the Millennium Falcon during this jump. First, you can see Leia in the cockpit getting thrown back into her seat. Second, R2-D2 rolls back and falls down into an access panel. Surprisingly, there is enough data to measure R2's acceleration inside the ship. Here is a plot of his position as a function of time along with a quadratic fit.

From this, it seems that there is an internal fake force of 2.73 m/s 2 or 0.28 g's. Yes, this is much less than the acceleration as seen from outside the ship. Obviously the inertial dampers are still mostly working.

So this has been bothering me for a while, and I think the sequels really brought it into focus for me with the amount of explicit galaxy spanning journeys they do, and the greater examination of "things to do with a hyperdrive for fun and profit". How long does a hyperspace trip take in Star Wars? Can we put a number on it like light years per hour (assuming a Class One drive and normal conditions) and work from there, or should we treat it like the Immaterium with less daemons and say we're rolling dice for anything that's not next door. It's one thing to say, "the speed of plot," but when you're playing a RPG there needs to be some kind of rule, right? And another thing: what's the deal with sublight travel? I'm thinking of that episode of the Mandalorian in particular.

My head cannon is that they have a slower backup hyperdrive. But then an X-Wing supposedly pulls 1700 Gs. Here my head cannon is that repulsor field thrust is inversely proportional to distance so the farther out you get the faster you go. Mostly, the writers have no sense of scale. There's a comic I keep meaning to draw where a storm trooper sets a cup of jawa juice in the middle of a round table where another storm trooper is sitting. He has to dive to catch the cup as it falls off the edge. Then he yells at the first storm trooper, "You idiot! Don't you know that rising tension is a proven physical force in this universe!?"

FTL travel times, and STL's for that matter, move at the speed of plot and exist in service of it in the Star Wars universe. That's totally in the spirit of the setting.

Gaming is the spice of my life.

As others have said, the "official" (as in Lucasarts / Disney ) answer appears to be that hyperspace speeds are governed by a particular story's plot needs. Here, however, is someone's attempt to provide a calculator for a consistent set of hyperspace travel times: http://d6holocron.com/astrogation/system.php?system=2216 I think in old EU sources, there's some details about the fact that the hyperspace lanes are like the "super highways" of space travel, with lots of work to keep them clear of navigational hazards and such. They are heavily patrolled by whatever governmental body claims a bit of space through which these lanes travel, but otherwise allow much faster travel between two points directly on or near such lanes. Travel on smaller "spur" hyperspace routes is slower. And travel across wild (aka not part of a hyperspace lane) space is slower still. Again, in some EU sources this difference in "speed" is down to the need to be more careful of navigational hazards the less traveled a given route is. A close reading of such explanations, in my opinion however, reveals that such details are lampshades for the answer given above (e.g. speed of plot) On the FFG Star Wars discussion forums, a rule of thumb developed that 1 "square" traveled on their galactic map took 1 day with a class 1 hyper drive. Then multiply the time required by the hyperdrive class to get the final time elapsed for travel.

DavetheLost

Considering that until the Solo movie a "parsec" which is a measure of distance was apparently being used as a measure of time, there really is now clear rule. We are told that you can't track a ship through hyperspace. We are also told that hyperspace jumps need to be plotted carefully or you might pass too close to a star or pop out in an asteroid field or such. The trips we are shown take some time, but not a consistent amount. Luke is able to leave Dagobah and travel to Bespin while Han, Leia & Co and having their time with Lando, and that doesn't seem to be very long. Then again it really is speed of plot. Compare what Luke does between Hoth and Bespin in Empire Strikes Back with what Han, Leia & Co. do in the same time with the same Hoth to Bespin end points.

The Wellspring of Life

The universe begins forming. [2]
The galaxy is formed around a super-massive black hole . [3]
Midi-chlorians are birthed from the Wellspring of Life . They are microscopic symbiotic organisms in all living things that connect the Living Force —the energy of all life—to the Cosmic Force , allowing the will of the all-encompassing energy field known as the Force to communicate with lifeforms. [4]
The Father , the Son , and the Daughter exist as powerful Force wielders who come to live in the ethereal realm of Mortis . [5]
Billions of years before the Imperial Era , mineral matter that would infuse rock walls on the planet Ilum with valuable constituents, including rare crystals such as the Force-attuned kyber , begin to accumulate. [6]
Billions to millions of years before the Imperial Era, lava flows on Dagobah and form Mount Dagger before disappearing to allow for the flourishing of non-sentient life. [7]
A non-sentient species lives on the world of Bravais , eventually evolving into the sentient Bravaisian . [8]
A non-sentient species lives on the planet Crul millions of years before they evolve into the sentient Crolute . [8]
A primitive species lives on the planet Abednedo , eventually evolving into the sentient Abednedo . [8]
In ancient times, beings from a distant galaxy built a reflex point on the planet Seatos which pointed the way to the extragalactic planet Peridea . [9] The people become known as the Dathomiri . [10]
A star map pointing the way to Peridea's galaxy was also stored inside a former Nightsister stronghold on Arcana . [11]
Beginning of the construction of the first city levels of Coruscant in the Core Worlds . [12]
Utapau is settled [13] by colonists who eventually evolve into the Pau'an and Utai species. [14]
Batuu , a planet on the edge of the Outer Rim Territories , is colonized millennia after a great cataclysm resulted in the planet's giant trees being destroyed and eventually petrified. [15]

Devaronians , naturally adept as scouts, become active as galactic explorers from their native planet Devaron , independently developing the hyperdrive. [7]

Eventually, a cataclysmic event [57] at the Battle of Malachor, [58] later known in legends as the " Great Scourge of Malachor ," [57] occurs during the era of great conflict that began around 5000 BBY; [58] Jedi Knights of the Old Republic era [57] uncover the battle station and confront the Sith. All participants are petrified by the superweapon, [55] including a witch who led the Sith forces, [59] although an entity known as the Presence remained in a Sith holocron within the Malachor temple.

The fiery world of Mustafar

Before the time of the Galactic Republic, the lushly forested planet Mustafar was inhabited by off-worlder Lady Corvax , who lived in harmony with the native Mustafarians along with her husband . The latter died as a result of an attack on Mustafar, leading to Corvax's theft of the most sacred Mustafarian relic, the Bright Star , in an attempt to use it in a ritual to resurrect her love. [76] The ritual failed; instead, the Bright Star's energies pushed Mustafar into a new orbit , reducing the world to an unbalanced, chaotic state. A volcanic wasteland is created [76] as tiny Mustafar is torn between gas giants Lefrani and Jestefad . [14] Thus, Sith seeking the secrets of eternal life were attracted to the world. [49]

The sole Sith survivor, Darth Bane, [86] creates the Grand Plan —a plot to destroy the Jedi and the Republic from within for the coming of Sith rule over the galaxy [87] —and establishes the [88] Rule of Two , [35] a lineage of Sith who would operate in the shadows, preserving the Sith's vendetta against the Jedi whilst preparing for their own return. Centuries before the Clone Wars, the Rule of Two is revealed to the Jedi Order, though still they presume the Sith's eradication and believe that Bane's plan is ruined with his defeat [88] allegedly at the hands of his apprentice, Darth Zannah , in a duel on the Inner Rim planet Ambria . This pattern is repeated by nearly all Sith thereafter. [89]
The Sith Lord becomes the last of his kind to be laid to rest on Moraband's Valley of the Dark Lords . [88]
The Sith Wars waged between the Republic and the Sith Empire [90] has ended by this point.

The Coruscant-based Republic Chancellor Lina Soh envisions a galaxy of Great Works that ranged from infrastructure to culture in an effort to expand the Republic's reaches, better connect the peoples of the galaxy, and bring inspiration and peace for all citizens. Efforts are made to negotiate a new peace treaty between the Quarren and the Mon Calamari , as well as to mass-produce bacta —a "miracle" substance [163] primarily made from a barley originally cultivated on Thyferra [164] that was intended to replace juvan —in the hopes of revolutionizing medicine. [163]
As part of Chancellor Soh's pledge to maintain the Republic's hold on [163] the hard-to-navigate Outer Rim, [165] outreach programs are established in the Rim. [163]

Grand Moff Tarkin informs Thrawn that his TIE Defender program has been halted in favor of Krennic's Project Stardust. Considering that the loss of his TIE Defender program would outweigh the loss of Hera Syndulla, Thrawn leaves Lothal to the incompetence of Governor Pryce to plead his case to Emperor Palpatine. [658]
Thrawn agrees to handle a gralloc problem for Krennic's Project Stardust in return for the continuation of funding for the TIE Defender program. While handling the gralloc infestation, Thrawn and the Chimaera traces a missing freighter to find that it had been raided by the Grysks. While battling a Grysk warship at the scene, the Chimaera is joined by Chiss Ascendancy forces led by Admiral Ar'alani. Thrawn reunites with the Chiss as well as Eli Vanto. [658]

Thrawn's friend, Eli Vanto, serving under Admiral Ar'alani of the Chiss Ascendancy.

Parting ways with Tano, Bridger returns from the mystical realm and rejoins the Spectres. [621]
Ronan gives an unfavorable report of Thrawn to Governor Tarkin, and Project Stardust becomes the sole recipient of funding over the TIE Defender program until Stardust is completed. Before such point, Vader is assigned to protect Stardust. Having received news that the situation on Lothal is "critical," Thrawn returns to the world with the escort of Captain Pellaeon aboard the Harbinger . Before leaving for Lothal, Thrawn takes the gamble of convincing Ronan to travel with Ar'alani back to the Chiss Ascendancy despite Ar'alani's warning that growing chaos amongst the Chiss threatened civil war. Thrawn also recommends Commander Faro to take command the Eleventh Fleet . [658]
With Thrawn's loyalty to the Empire in serious doubt, the Emperor orders him to return for a long talk after handling the rebellion on Lothal. Palpatine also tells Thrawn to reconstruct a part of the Lothal Jedi Temple within the Chimaera to tempt Ezra Bridger, and further instructs the Chiss to persuade Bridger to join him. [658]

Recalling his experience of being enslaved by Trandoshan hunters alongside other Wookiees, [681] Chewbacca frees the enslaved miners on Andelm IV. [682]
While Chewbacca and Zarro are captured by Imperials, the latter are misled into thinking that Jaum is a member of the Rebellion and no longer desire to expand their reach to Andelm IV. After making their escape, Chewbacca and Zarro part ways on Andelm IV, though not before the Wookiee gives Zarro the medal he himself earned at the Battle of Yavin. [683]

Han Solo and Leia Organa rekindled their relationship after Solo chose to serve the Rebellion, albeit with flair and arrogance, instead of living dishonestly as a smuggler doing odd jobs.

For the mission, Solo is to rescue the spies and capture the traitor while under the guise of competing in the Dragon Void race with the Millennium Falcon . With all of the spies aboard the Falcon , Solo competes in the race, though it is attacked by Imperial forces. Nevertheless, the Falcon perseveres, and its rebel crew discover the mole amongst them and detain the brainwashed traitor . While he could have gone through the race's endpoint—a gate that created a wormhole leading to the race's starting point—Solo instead allows Loo Re Anno , the last of her kind , to return home using the gate, which was created by Anno's kind for their exodus from the wider galaxy. [30]
Returning Han Solo's favor, Anno leads her people from between the seams of time and space to attack the Imperials pursuing the Dragon Void racers, allowing the latter to escape. Anno's people intends their return to be the last; before they leave the world forever. [30]
Having accomplished his mission, Solo returns to the Rebellion and realizes that he could not lie to himself and deny reality any longer; that he had to decide who he really is and what is worth living for.

The 204th's Lyttan Dree and Zin Graw are killed amidst an attack by the Rebel Alliance after Graw, secretly wanting to defect to the rebels, leaked intelligence to the Alliance. [669] [20]
Leia Organa travels to Ord Mantell to find Maz Kanata for assistance in rescuing Han Solo. Boushh attacks Organa, though the bounty hunter was defeated by the latter, who took from Kanata's teachings of patience. Organa wears Boushh's armor as a disguise, thanking Maz Kanata before leaving in the Millennium Falcon with Chewbacca and R2-D2. [870] [871]

Skywalker also tells Leia Organa of his need to master patience to become a Jedi. [680]
The next day, taking from Skywalker's lesson, Organa proposes Operation Yellow Moon to buy much-needed time for the Rebellion and the galaxy at the risk of her life.

[876]
With his green-bladed lightsaber , Luke Skywalker leads a raid at Imperial Refining Platform M36 to secure an entire year's worth of fuel supplies for the Rebel Alliance. With the rebels skeptical of Skywalker for his Force abilities sometimes giving false positives of potential threats, the rebels refuse to heed Skywalker's call to risk jumping into hyperspace and are attacked by an Imperial Star Destroyer as a result. Skywalker resists Darth Sidious' telepathic urges to abandon the rebels for being weak and the temptation to leave the war to live a quiet life, rejoining the rebels aboard their transport.

Realizing his own fear and anger, Luke Skywalker throws away his lightsaber and refuses to kill Vader. While Sidious attempts to destroy the Jedi, Darth Vader's compassion for his son overwhelms him, and, resuming his duty to the Force as the Chosen One , Anakin Skywalker kills his former Sith Master at the cost of his own life. By destroying the Sith, Anakin brings balance to the Force and passes away in peace, and Luke Skywalker escapes from the Death Star as a true Jedi. [874]

Behind the scenes [ ]

Star Wars creator George Lucas had intended the fictional universe to be a mythology, with stories taking place throughout a timeline. [1040] Since 2014 , Lucasfilm has been creatively aligning all storytelling in the current canon, aiming to keep all content consistent and interconnected in all aspects. Some content draw inspiration from the Expanded Universe that is now branded as a separate continuity— Star Wars Legends [1041] —which has its own timeline of galactic history on Wookieepedia , an unaffiliated online Star Wars encyclopedia maintained by volunteers.

Lucasfilm's Star Wars eras for the current canon continuity comprise of "Dawn of the Jedi," "The Old Republic," "The High Republic," "Fall of the Jedi," "Reign of the Empire," "Age of Rebellion," "The New Republic," "Rise of the First Order," and "New Jedi Order." [1042]

Hi everyone, Perhaps you're already familiar with this resource, but I found this neat calculator. Not canon or a must by any means, but it helps me with immersion when figuring out getting from point A to point B. It takes hyper-routes and all sorts into consideration. Enjoy and Merry Xmas! astrogation system

Utapaun P-38 fighter, 3,000 light years, or less than 1 square across. Vanilla starfighter, minor government usage, with a class 2 drive.
ARC-170 fighter: 5,000 light years, or 1 square across. Heavy line starfighter, major government usage, with a class 1.5 drive.
Theta-class shuttle: 8,000 light year range, or about 1.5 squares across. Palpatine's personal shuttle, class 1.0 drive.
Nubian H-type yacht: 20,000 light years, or 3-4 squares across. Light, fast luxury yacht with a class 0.7 drive.
Recusant-class light destroyer: 30,000 light years, or 5-6 squares across, Core to the start of the Outer Rim. Light star destroyer with a class 2.0 drive.
Invisible Hand , modified Providence-class flagship: 40,000 light years, or 6-8 squares across, enough to get a quarter of the way across the galaxy. Unique flagship with a class 1.5 drive.
Venator-class Star Destroyer: 60,000 light years, or 10-12 squares across, maybe enough to get from the Core to the Outer Rim and back. Star Destroyer with a class 1.0 drive.
Nubian J-type diplomatic barge: 80,000 light years, or around 14-15 squares across, almost enough to get from Naboo to Coruscant and back. Heavy diplomatic ship with a class 0.7 drive.
Delta-7 Aethersprite Jedi starfighter: 150,000 light years, more than the diameter of the galaxy. Tiny, very fast Jedi expedition ship with a class 1.0 drive. Can get from the Core to Wild Space and back on a single tank of gas.
Acclamator assault ship: 250,000 light years. A lot. Hyperdrive class 0.6. Dang.
Combat starfighters either have no hyperdrive or a quick drive with a low range, enough to cross a sector but no more. One square on the Essential Atlas map.
Most capital ships can travel 30-60,000 light years, or 1/4 to 1/2 the diameter of the galaxy. Roughly 5-12 squares on the Essential Atlas map. That's more than enough to fight most reasonable campaigns in the short to medium term.
Elite personal transports either have enough range to navigate a certain area without refuelling, like the Core or Tion Hegemony, or they have enough range to get from their home port to the Core and back. That's roughly 1/3 to 2/3 the diameter of the galaxy, or maybe 7-15 squares on the Essential Atlas map.
Expeditionary ships (like long-range Jedi starfighters) and long-range strategic transports can go an obscenely long way without refuelling, on the order of 1-2x the diameter of the galaxy. Bastion to Tatooine and back, plus or minus fifty thousand light years.
They fit most reasonable strategies.
Starship technology didn't improve an awful lot between the Clone Wars and the Rebellion Era. It spiked by the Legacy era, but we don't have numbers for that, and the Dark Age was a thing. And in the end, I suspect development priorities in canon timelines would mirror ours: why improve your starship's gas tank size when you can improve its shields, guns, hangar capacity, and engines? Especially when average hyperdrive speeds haven't changed and travel time remains about the same?
These numbers are inevitably going to increase if people start caring about them enough to use them in Factory subs, so why not start with numbers we know?
They have more than enough flexibility for people to get crazy -- you want your personal fighter to go 200,000 light years on a single tank of gas? You've got precedent -- but they also provide a useful way to nerf aspects of ships you design. 'It's hypercapable, but it's got a 500-light-year range, so barring a lot of friendly and secure gas stations, it needs a carrier or it's stuck in a defensive role.' Great weakness right there. Factory judges are never going to reject more useful detail, as long as it's not ridiculous. Including a hyperdrive range in the description or the 'Hyperdrive' template line -- while completely optional and never before suggested -- is a great way to give some character to the way you use your ships, personally and strategically.

From blue milk to Falcon rides: All about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World

Editor's note : This post has been updated with the latest information.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge brings the far-away planet of Batuu inside the gates of Walt Disney World in Florida. There's Chewbacca, the Millennium Falcon, Rise of the Resistance, Rey, a cantina, blue milk, a hideout where you can construct a lightsaber and so much more.

You can find the Star Wars planet of Batuu at both Disneyland and Disney World. The two versions of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge share many elements, but they aren't identical twins. Here's an overview of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge within Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World and a peek at what differs between this location and the Disneyland version, located in California, more than 2,100 miles away as the Millennium Falcon flies.

Galaxy's edge basics

Set in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Galaxy's Edge has two entrances — one near Muppet Vision 3-D and one next to the Alien's Swirling Saucer side of Toy Story Land .

It has roughly the same 14-acre footprint as its counterpart at Disneyland, and the two lands share these main key components: Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run (ride), Rise of the Resistance (ride), Oga's Cantina (themed bar, kids allowed), Docking Bay 7 (serves food all day), Ronto Roasters (serves a limited, but quite good menu), Savi's Workshop (build a lightsaber), Droid Depot (build a droid), Milk Bar (blue and green "milk") and other assorted shopping and snacking outlets.

Rides at Galaxy's Edge

Millennium falcon: smugglers run.

A cornerstone of Galaxy's Edge at both parks is unquestionably the life-size Falcon, parked right outside the entrance to the ride that bears its name. For a die-hard Star Wars fan, seeing the Falcon for the first time is a moment to remember. If you're going to go all teary-eyed living out your Star Wars dreams, this is probably where it's going to happen first.

Regular waits for the ride often top out at around 60 to 90 minutes, which isn't awful for a Disney ride. However, if you go to Hollywood Studios right at the park's opening, you can likely cut your wait time down dramatically. Note that FastPass+ is no longer running and the new paid Genie+ and Lightning Lane services haven't rolled out yet. Short of a VIP tour , your only option is to wait.

Once it's your turn, you'll be given ride instructions from a very lifelike Hondo. Hondo is quite impressive and leaves the animatronics of yesteryear firmly in the space dust.

The Millennium Falcon is an interactive simulated flying ride, where what happens on the ride depends somewhat on your crew, with riders assigned positions randomly as they enter. There's no doubt the two pilots are the most involved of all the positions, which also include gunners and engineers. I prefer the right pilot seat (which controls movements up and down) to the left (which controls side to side), but both are fun. The enjoyment of this ride is greatly influenced both by your assigned position and who else is flying with you in the cockpit. Riding it with my young girls flying was a ton of fun — though we wrecked the Falcon from tip to tail.

(Oh, and we totally spotted a " Hidden Mickey " on the wall right before entering the ride part of the attraction, so Mickey has indeed made his way to Batuu.)

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

While Smugglers Run can be a lot of fun with the right crew, it is the Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance that is the land's main attraction. It's not just a ride, it's an almost 30-minute experience that takes you fully into the world of Star Wars in a way unlike any attraction before it.

The attraction has multiple components and more than one ride vehicle and location. You'll encounter a legion of stormtroopers, bad guy Kylo Ren, a holographic Rey, a "real" BB-8, a "red hot" lightsaber and so much more.

In a major shift, Disney World appears to have abandoned (or at least indefinitely paused) the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance. The virtual queue was a true cornerstone of what made Rise one of the most incredible attractions at any Disney park. It was absolutely a bit of a crap shoot to score a boarding group. However, if you were lucky enough to snag one, you knew that you would have a relatively short wait in line.

Going forward, we expect the standby line to be about as legendary as the attraction itself. The wait times on Rise of the Resistance alone will likely drive many folks to purchase the new Genie+ or Lightning Lane services.

Make reservations

You can make reservations to build a lightsaber at Savi's, visit the Droid Depot or enjoy a cool drink at Oga's Cantina, space permitting. Waiting in line the old-fashioned way for these activities is sometimes permitted when space allows, but try and make a reservation 60 days in advance if you can.

To visit Oga's, you can make dining reservations up to 60 days in advance of your visit on Disney's website. Note that you aren't going to enjoy a full meal at Oga's, but you absolutely want to reserve a spot to check out the space and enjoy a snack and a drink.

You can also make reservations to construct a lightsaber at Savi's or a droid at the Droid Depot, both of which are very cool experiences. Building a droid costs about $100 and lightsabers start around $220. You really do need to make reservations in advance for these experiences when possible due to capacity controls.

Buying Galaxy's Edge merchandise

There are other shopping options on Batuu where items cost fewer "credits" (as they are called in this galaxy) than a crafted droid or saber. There's an entire marketplace where you can browse, buy and chat with shopkeepers.

A stuffed porg and Yoda have certainly followed us home from Batuu.

However, if you want traditional Disney and Star Wars-branded pins, T-shirts or other merchandise, you have to get those provisions after you leave Galaxy's Edge in other areas of Hollywood Studios. The only items sold within the land are ones mimicking items that you would find on the real planet of Batuu, such as toy creatures, Jedi cloaks and bottles of soda shaped like thermal detonators.

Eating in Galaxy's Edge

During normal times, the lunch line for Docking Bay 7, the only true quick-service restaurant in the land, can stretch out of the building. You'll currently be restricted to mobile ordering, though we expect in-person ordering to return in the months ahead.

Here are our favorite food items in Galaxy's Edge . Hint: The blue and green milk are not our favorite items, but can be worth trying once if you're a Star Wars fan. Also note that this area isn't the best place to eat if your crew is craving theme park staples like burgers and fries.

I recommend the sausage wraps from Ronto's for a quick and tasty bite. In fact, it is one of our favorite grab-and-go foods at Disney World . There's also a new vegetarian version of the wrap that gets high marks. If you just want a snack, the red and purple popcorn isn't bad, either. It's a good idea to use mobile ordering to order in advance here, too.

Comparing Galaxy's Edge at Disney World and Disneyland

Having visited both versions of Galaxy's Edge, I felt like the Disney World version differed in subtle ways from Disneyland. The coloring and details of the two lands are not identical, even though the main elements remain constant.

For example, I found the colors at Disney World to be a bit brighter and more vibrant than at Disneyland. While I didn't count tables and chairs, the Galaxy's Edge at Disney World also appeared to offer more seating throughout than what was available in California.

Then there's the issue of alcohol. It is served in both parks, but only within Oga's Cantina at Disneyland. In fact, Oga's is the only public spot in all of Disneyland where you can order an adult beverage.

At Disney World, you can purchase alcohol throughout the park, including at Docking Bay 7 in the form of a Takodana Quencher, made of berry rum, pineapple and kiwi, or a Gold Squadron lager. For those feeling a little braver, $14 gets you alcoholic blue or green milk at Disney World — with rum for the blue and tequila for the green.

Food items on Batuu vary a little too, though not in huge ways. For example, the ronto morning breakfast wrap ($12) comes with what seemed like an egg patty at Disney World, whereas the eggs were scrambled at Disneyland. I preferred the Disneyland version by a small margin, though both were solid choices. Here are our favorite Galaxy's Edge food picks .

The weather

Even if the lands were 100% identical, the experience and functionality of the land in California vs. Florida will inherently differ because of climate. According to Best Places, Anaheim experiences precipitation on average 35 days per year while Orlando experiences more than three times that number, with 114 annual days with some precipitation. During the summer months, Florida afternoon storms are the norm at Disney World . The reality is that there are not a lot of built-in places to escape from showers on Batuu if you aren't in one of the two attractions.

For example, the open-air Black Spire market is lovely, but the stores aren't nearly large enough to hold many shoppers looking to wait out the rain, especially in the era of social distancing.

Even on a nice day, there's not a ton of respite from the Orlando sun on Batuu. Disney does have some umbrella shades up, but pack your neck cooling towels and water bottles or try to plan an early or late-day visit during the summer months.

Overall impressions

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is similar enough at both Disney World and Disneyland that there's no reason to visit both parks unless you are a true die-hard. Rise of the Resistance is a true marquee attraction. It's breathtaking for Star Wars fans and is likely impressive even to a park-goer who isn't normally into all things inter-galactic.

Galaxy's Edge as a whole is not only beautifully well done but also brought to life by a cast that owns their roles. From Kylo Ren's patrol throughout the land and the First Order guards on the Rise of the Resistance attraction right down to the shopkeepers and cashiers in the marketplace, cast members stay in character.

Galaxy's Edge is a Disney World must-visit. The suspension of the virtual queue for Rise of the Resistance, however, significantly changes the strategy. Instead of hanging out in your hotel room trying to get a boarding group, there is no choice other than to wait in (a very long) line.

If I were making a wish list of future additions post-pandemic, I'd love to see the addition of a Star Wars parade, a scheduled show, more of the original trilogy's characters and maybe an interactive themed play area for little kids. But, my wish list aside, there's plenty to do in Galaxy's Edge if you've ever wanted to experience a galaxy far, far away.

And, of course, with the Star Wars Hotel (which is really more of a multi-day experience) opening in 2022, we expect all things Star Wars at Disney World to only continue to improve and evolve.

Screen Rant

Star wars' next tv show is disney's first truly new project in 12 years - but it still honors george lucas in the best way.

The Acolyte is set to break truly new ground in the Star Wars galaxy, but the show will also pay homage to the franchise's creator, George Lucas.

The Acolyte is Disney's most original Star Wars story yet, as it breaks from the company's trend of building off Lucas' established lore and Legends.
The Acolyte still honors the diverse inspirations Lucas used to create Star Wars in the first place, but it also puts a fresh spin on them.
The show could usher in a new era for Star Wars and allow Disney to tell even more truly unique stories.

The Acolyte is set to be the most original Star Wars story Disney has ever told on-screen, but it also has the perfect connection to the franchise's original creator, George Lucas. The Acolyte 's story will follow several Jedi of the High Republic era as they investigate a rash of killings and try to find the dark power that caused them. It promises to be a darker tale than Star Wars is used to telling, which could make The Acolyte one of the most exciting entries in the list of upcoming Star Wars shows .

The trailer for The Acolyte included several details that proved it will be very different from the Star Wars stories that came before it. The Jedi, for instance, were shown to be at the absolute height of their power, with several extremely powerful members. Everything about The Acolyte 's story seems to be different from previous Star Wars movies and shows . Those differences extend far beyond the plot, though, and they show that Disney is taking its biggest chance with Star Wars ever.

Star Wars: The Acolyte Cast & Character Guide

The acolyte is bringing something fresh & new to star wars.

For a long time, a major part of Disney's plan for Star Wars seemed to be using elements that were left over from Lucas' time at the helm. All of Disney's live-action stories so far have been set in the Skywalker saga and expanded upon elements of the galaxy that have already proven to be successful , like Rogue One 's focus on the Death Star plans. Recent stories have also used some of Lucas' ideas that never came to fruition, such as The Mandalorian fulfilling the plan originally intended for Boba Fett . Even aspects of Legends have been canonized and used in new stories.

The first two episodes of The Acolyte will premiere on Disney+ on June 4.

The Acolyte 's setting in the High Republic era gives it the perfect opportunity to be something completely different from Disney's previous Star Wars stories. The High Republic is a new area of Star Wars lore that's completely separate from Lucas' time with the franchise. As such, The Acolyte will mark the furthest Disney has strayed from Lucas' plan since acquiring Star Wars . There isn't a road map like Legends or the Skywalker saga for The Acolyte to follow anymore, so it will have to find its own way. That could completely shake up the Star Wars formula Disney has been following for years and revitalize the entire franchise.

The Acolyte Still Honors George Lucas' Inspiration

While The Acolyte will be Disney's first genuinely independent Star Wars story, it also keeps Lucas' legacy at its heart. When Lucas first created Star Wars , he drew inspiration from a wide variety of sources and combined them together to create something truly original. Lucas especially drew from samurai films, martial arts in general, Western movies, and fantasy stories while creating Star Wars . While those influences have remained a staple of the series since its creation, more recent additions to the franchise have begun using them even more.

One of the first examples of Star Wars ' renewed dedication to its origins under Disney comes from The Mandalorian . The story of Din Djarin and Grogu brought Star Wars ' Western influences to the forefront and put a sci-fi spin on the genre's staples like shootouts and bounty hunters. Another great example comes from Ahsoka , which focused more on the samurai elements of Star Wars . Many of the lightsaber duels in the show, particularly Ahsoka's final fight against the Inquisitor Marrok , channeled the suspense and drama that made samurai duels so iconic.

The Mandalorian and Ahsoka are some of the most successful shows Disney has produced yet, largely thanks to their stylistic influences. Now, The Acolyte will heavily feature another set of Lucas' inspirations: fantasy and martial arts . The show's High Republic setting clearly implements elements of high fantasy that can be seen in the trailer, from the Jedi's flowing gold and white robes to the natural planets and settings. The Acolyte 's mysterious Mae was also shown using knives and acrobatics in her fight against Jedi Master Indara , which proves that the show will be incorporating martial arts.

The Acolyte Is The Next Step In Star Wars' Evolution

The Acolyte isn't just drawing from Lucas' inspirations, though; it's also fulfilling his original plans for the franchise. George Lucas' decisions about the direction Star Wars should take weren't always well received, but they were extremely creative. When writing the prequel trilogy, for example, he could have taken fewer risks and made it more similar to the original trilogy, but that was never his intention. To Lucas, Star Wars was always supposed to use existing concepts in exciting ways that would allow the series to break new ground .

The Acolyte is similarly risky, as it depends on the strength of Disney's Star Wars storytelling without Lucas serving as a guide, but that risk could pay off in dividends.

The Acolyte is the perfect show to make Lucas' dreams of a constantly changing and evolving Star Wars into a reality. The Acolyte will stay true to the same timeless and classic sources that Lucas did while adding a unique and original spin to them . Taking the franchise in a bold new direction is exactly what Lucas envisioned for Star Wars ' future, and Disney is finally living up to his vision. The Acolyte will also present some challenges for Disney, but the potential rewards of making a truly original show far outweigh the risks.

Disney's departure from the Lucas-led Star Wars lore is a risk, which is precisely why The Acolyte could become popular. Some of the franchise's biggest successes in recent years have come from the riskiest - and most original - chances that Disney has been willing to take . Andor was more mature than any other Star Wars story before it, while Ahsoka took a chance on migrating its main character from animation to live-action, yet they were both exceptionally well-received. The Acolyte is similarly risky, as it depends on the strength of Disney's Star Wars storytelling without Lucas serving as a guide, but that risk could pay off in dividends.

The Acolyte is also the first sign of a shift in Disney's plans for Star Wars . The slate of upcoming Star Wars movies includes several stories that take place far beyond the reaches of the Skywalker saga, and they could be the first of many such stories. If The Acolyte becomes a success, it could give Disney more reason to move beyond Lucas' original plans for the franchise and further into the realm of original stories. The Acolyte could even change the entire face of Star Wars and spawn new movies and shows set in the High Republic era, which makes it an even more exciting show.

March to May 4th Campaign Unveils Lightsabers, Blue Milk, and More Star Wars Goodies

The products were unveiled with the help of Darth Vader himself, Hayden Christensen.

The Big Picture

Get ready for May the 4th with new Star Wars products, including Vader toys and watch timepieces.
Disney and Lucasfilm also unveiled non-dark side products like blue milk jugs and Phantom Menace memorabilia.
Fans can look forward to the Skywalker Saga films returning to theaters and exclusive merchandise at Disney Parks.

The biggest day of the year is nearly here for Star Wars fans, as the galaxy prepares for the arrival of May 4, better known as Star Wars Day. With the day just over a month away, Disney and Lucasfilm have unveiled a series of new product launches tied in with the day, which they are calling their "March to May the 4th." Many of these products are related to the villains of the Star Wars world , as Lucasfilm is currently in a month-long celebration of the bad guys of the galaxy far, far away.

The new products were launched in New York City during a ceremony at the Empire State Building led by Darth Vader himself, Hayden Christensen . This was followed by a Star Wars- themed light show which was displayed on the skyscraper. "We're excited to unveil a broad range of new products for fans of all ages with our extensive roster of licensees and retailers as we all march to May the 4th," said Paul Southern , Senior Vice President, Global Brand Commercialization, Lucasfilm, Disney Experiences.

A pair of these flagship products, unsurprisingly, had to do with Vader . The first is the Force n' Telling Vader from Hasbro, a poseable toy that features 40 different responses from the Dark Lord of the Sith. The other Vader highlight was the Imaginext Vader Bot from Fisher-Price, a two-foot-tall robot with lights, sounds and an extendable lightsaber. Sticking with the dark side, also unveiled were a trio of Citizen Watch timepieces depicting an Imperial stormtrooper, Vader, and the second Death Star, as well as a slew of Black Series figures (including a holographic Vader with a light-up holopuck).

Not All the Products Were Dark Side-Related

Disney and Lucasfilm also unveiled some other products that were less Sith-like. This includes a grocery jug of blue milk from TruMoo in a nod to the iconic substance drank by Luke Skywalker in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. However, while the blue milk drank on set was infamous for its bad taste (as stated by Luke Skywalker himself , Mark Hamill ) TruMoo's version is simply vanilla milk with blue food coloring.

In addition to this, a series of products were also created for the Disney Store in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Epsiode I: The Phantom Menace . This includes a collection of Darth Maul and Anakin Skywalker-related memorabilia, including a Darth Maul limited edition legacy lightsaber set. Also created for the Disney Store were a series of artistic offerings from Will Gay . And starting in April, guests at Disneyland will also be able to purchase park-exclusive merchandise at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge as well as Disney's Hollywood Studios.

And for those who can't get enough Star Wars, all nine films of the Skywalker Saga will be returning to theaters ahead of Star Wars Day. Pre-order information for the new products can be found here .

Cosmic gold rush! Astronomers find 49 new galaxies in just 3 hours

"I did not expect to find almost 50 new galaxies in such a short time!"

three deep-space images, showing newfound distant galaxies as blue, orange, yellow, green and red dots

Astronomers have been surprised by a "gold rush" of new galaxies, racking up 49 discoveries in just 3 hours.

The gas-rich galaxies were uncovered by a team using the MeerKAT radio telescope located in South Africa. They have been dubbed the "forty-niners," a callback to the nickname given to the thousands of gold miners who flocked to California during the state's Gold Rush, which peaked in 1849. The nickname is now carried by the San Francisco 49ers American football team.

The team of astronomers certainly wasn't playing around when it stumbled across the nearly 50 new galaxies. They were attempting to study star-forming gas in a single radio galaxy . Instead, they found 49 new galaxies in observations lasting about 180 minutes, thus demonstrating the power of MeerKat when it comes to revealing star-forming gas.

Research leader Marcin Glowacki, from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) in Western Australia, views the 49 new galaxies as "gold nuggets" for astronomers. Their discovery is arguably no less fortuitous than the discovery of the first gold chunks at Sutter's Mill in Coloma, California, which kick-started the California Gold Rush in 1848.

"I did not expect to find almost 50 new galaxies in such a short time," Glowacki said in a statement. "By implementing different techniques for finding galaxies, which are used for other MeerKAT surveys, we were able to detect all of these galaxies and reveal their gas content."

Of these collections that come in an array of different shapes and sizes, three in particular have captured the imagination of Glowacki and colleagues. Of four galaxies seen in the same image, three are connected by the gas content that runs throughout them.

"These three are particularly interesting, as by studying the galaxies at other wavelengths of light, we discovered the central galaxy is forming many stars," Glowacki said. "It is likely stealing the gas from its companion galaxies to fuel its star formation, which may lead the other two to become inactive."

— The James Webb Space Telescope may have found some of the very 1st stars

"We hope to continue our studies and share even more discoveries of new gas-rich galaxies with the wider community soon," said Glowacki.

Glowacki recently teamed up with ICRAR summer student Jasmine White, who also analyzed short observations made by MeerKAT to discover even more gas-rich galaxies.

"This discovery highlights the raw power of the MeerKAT telescope as an imaging instrument," research co-author and University of the Western Cape researcher Ed Elson said. "The methods we developed and implemented to study the forty-niners will be useful for MeerKAT large science surveys and smaller observing campaigns such as ours."

The team's research was published online Tuesday (March 26) in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Pieces of Disney's closed 'Star Wars' hotel are coming to Disneyland

A long time ago — March 2022 — in a galaxy far, far away, Disney opened its most immersive and wildly ambitious project. For $5,000 or more, “Star Wars” fans could board the Galactic Starcruiser , a two-night experience in which guests acted out their Jedi, Resistance and First Order fantasies, following storylines and carrying out missions on a trip through the cosmos. According to the company, it was the best-reviewed experience Disney ever offered. The cost was too high for most fans, however, and it closed after 18 months .

But now, for the Season of the Force, a tiny microcosm of the Galactic Starcruiser experience is coming to Disneyland — for a fraction of the price. Starting April 5, according to the Disney Parks Blog , Oga’s Cantina inside Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge will be serving cocktails from the Galactic Starcruiser, along with souvenir glassware. Disney describes the Fiery Mustafarian as having “El Mayor Añejo Tequila, Aperol Aperitivo Liqueur, peach purée, peach syrup, and lime juice served with a dropper of spicy lava syrup.” The Silver Sea Martini will have “Hendrick’s Gin, Minute Maid Lemonade, ginger syrup, honey, and mint syrup topped with a shimmery butterfly pea flower tea.”

Both drinks are available without souvenir glassware, but if you want the martini with something from the Starcruiser, you’ll order the Chandrilan Chalice. For the spicy cocktail, you’ll order the Chandrilan Orb Glass. Both cocktails and souvenir glasses were served on the Starcruiser’s Sublight Lounge and come emblazoned with a “Chandrila Star Line” logo. In the now-closed hotel, the storyline was that you were taking an interstellar cruise on the Chandrila Star Line, aboard the Halcyon starcruiser.

In a parallel universe, aboard the Disney Wish cruise ship, the “Star Wars”-themed Hyperspace Lounge serves those same drinks and glasses with a Hyperspace Lounge logo.

Season of the Force, Disneyland’s annual “Star Wars” celebration, runs through May, and is set to include the Hyperspace Mountain overlay of Space Mountain, new characters in Star Tours, new foods and experiences, and special after-dark events.

Singer, songwriter and galactic superstar Gaya performs as the first passengers experience the two-day Walt Disney World Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, a live-action role-playing game that doubled as a high-end hotel in Orlando.
