Why doesn't anyone explore this area?
space is big
>>64293444
nice trips, also why don't they go in the galaxy inner core more often?
That's a story for another time
Cant they only do hyperspace on set "lanes"? I always thought you couldnt really veer out of the hyperspace charted lanes.
>Courscant
>is in the Core
POETRY
>>64293597
How do you think those lanes were created to begin with?
>>64293444
Because the plot hasn't required it yet
>>64293523
That's where all the dumbest and weirdest ideas from the EU are.
How do people get interested in SW lore? I always found the setting too generic to develop any genuine interest for.
>>64293523
Black holes & shit. Makes it hard to maintain stable hyperspace lanes.
>>64293444
Charting new hyperspace lanes is risky, most galactic exploration was done thousands of years ago and few see any pressing need to spend the resources needed to open up a new frontier.
>>64293444
This isn't even the official map anymore.
>>64293444
In the old lore, because exploring hyperspace lanes is dangerous as fuck and the unknown regions are full of gravity anomalies that rip probes and explorers apart.
The old lore also implies that the anomalies were artificial in nature, put there by an ancient alien race to contain things that don't belong in the galaxy out there. There were some SWRPG campaigns that had stuff like entire planets covered in sentient black goo that could eat any organic matter and control corpses like meat puppets to spread to new worlds.

One day I decided that the concept of an evil wizard-knight with a plasma sword was a cool idea, so I looked into it some more.
It was all downhill from there.
>>64293629
The force?
Also, has anyone found tatooine and both on the map yet?
that's wild space according to TORtanic
>>64293795
Wild Space is Galactic Northwest, past the Imperial Remnant on the old map. It's just one of the parts of the unknown regions that make up most of the western fringe of the galaxy.
>>64293766
Nah, they were haphazardly charted by galactic explorers. A high risk, high adventure, high fatality-rate profession.
>>64293444
>that planet on the right of kashyyyk
Did Palatine name that one?
>>64293862
any eu stuff about that? an age of exploration type thing in space sounds interesting
>>64293947
Lots. Look into things about the Old Republic and the Great Hyperspace War.

The Force planet was a world located in the heart of the galaxy.[2] It was where the microscopic organisms known as midi-chlorians were born,[1] and as a result had a strong connection with the Force.
At the order of Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda travels to a planet where life could have arisen. Yoda discovers a planet in the middle of a small, glowing, golden nebula.
>>64293947
Hyperspace Explorers are the reason the Sith found out the Republic existed within the Galaxy. Before that, they had only conquered a few close by worlds.

>>64293746
The new map is mostly the same, as far as locations of systems go. It's just a bit less cluttered. Its primary focus is to highlight the new locations visited in TFA in relation to places seen or mentioned in previous movies and The Clone Wars (though far from every world).
>find something tantalizingly cool about Star Wars, usually in a KOTOR game or from some anon referencing it

>>64293745
No, i refuse to believe everyone in the galaxy just got complacent and didn't want to explore anymore
>>64293444
In old lore, discovering new routes in that direction was dangerous but other parts that eventually got filled were some of the first space faring empires physically cut hyperspace lanes to deter people like Rakata from hunting them down like the Celestials, essentially creating a microcosm within the same galaxy.
The idea being Celestials employed minor races to help them with their galactic projects, but Rakata broke off their leash.
now though? who knows.
>>64294277
Its fucking retarded
The game is set thousands of years before the movies and nothing is any different
Great creativity

Same here, and I enjoy the movies a lot. I just think that the EU takes it too far, I don't know how to say it better but it's kinda not Star Wars anymore if you overcomplicate it so much.
>>64293444
I hate the new EU
Sure the old one was full of retarded shit, but stuff like the situation with the empire after endor was a lot better written and made more sense.
>>64293599
Wait, if corisont is in the center why does everyone go north, east, south, but rarely west? You would think the 'core worlds' would mark the center and exploration would happen more or less evenly from there.
>>64293444
Disney will.

"You discern a fraction of reality. Beyond these stars exist other galaxies, other worlds, other beings. I will experience or ignore them as I wish.

it's like pottery
Exploring stuff is slow because when they don't know where they are going they can't use hyperspace unless they want to risk flying into a star or black hole

The Hosnian system was the seat of the New Republic. Presumably the First Order would like to reclaim Coruscant and turn it back into Imperial Center, so blowing it up would be counterproductive.

welcome to problems with FTL travel 101.

Ships can't interact with each other in hyperspace. Didn't you ever watch Cowboy Bebop?

How did they not escape a beam moving at like 10mph from across the fucking galaxy. To add to that, how could people in the resistance see it explode from the sky? Is the galaxy tiny?

Slow as fuck
>>64293444
This is how space travel works in star wars
Every "Hyperspace Lane" was first discovered by Ayy Lmaos 2 million years before the movies.
Hyperspace tech comes from these Aliens once they left their own planet to explore.
Then they got wiped out by the dark side of the force, because that's what they used, so it built up over time on their home planet.
>>64295103
There are millions of planets nigga
Here'= are ones that just start with A
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_planets_A
>>64295138
Why is the force retarded in the EU? In the movies its just kind of an all encompassing thing that surrounds the universe and binds it together. In the EU theres all this shit about "dark side energy" which can be used to make spaceships and robots, or the "origin point of the dark side". Makes no sense

>Axxila
I wonder what fetish they have there
The unkown regions are full of hostile aliens. There's a race of psychic lizards that steal peoples' souls and use them to power their starships, a race of psychopathic sorcerer-snails who use the dark side to create semi-corporeal illusions, the Chiss, a multi-dimensional sentient mass of grey goo that eats people and animates their bodies, etc.
It isn't explored mainly because there is no one there to trade or do business with. All the locals(all of them) want to kill you.
>>64294384
This is a new computer and I don't have any reaction images on it so have this.
Urthha is located in the Unknown Regions
>>64295103
Only a tiny, tiny fraction of all the planets actually in the GFFA have ever been named and put on the map.

>>64294174
>Rakata Prime is canon
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE
Does that mean the starforge is too?
Does that mean Revan is?
>>64295826
No and no.
>>64293597
lanes are just really well mapped areas of travel that are clear of celestial phenomena that could slow or interrupt hyperdrives
>>64295859
So what Disney-financed shenanigans happened there?
>>64294384
Maybe that's why it has such weird weather. Unless it's due toit's seasons, then.
>>64295888
Lucas Story Group decided to allow Rakata Prime back into the new canon. That just means the planet itself is canon, not any of the baggage that it had in Legends.
>>64295931
For what purpose
Why make it canon before anything happens here?
Or did they make the Rakata Infinite empire canon?
>>64295976
What aren't you understanding? The planet itself exists in the galaxy and that's it. Nothing about it's inhabitants, what they did in the however many years the galaxy existed, nothing. Just the planet.
>Planet Sneev is wealthy due to the valuable Ian McDiamonds that grow on the surface
>>64296011
As per my first 2 sentences I'm not understanding why they would canonize a planet before writing a story with it
>>64295976
>for what purpose
They probably listened to all the internet fanboy buzz demanding KOTOR not be written out of canon. Pretty much everything is being decided by popular demand.
>>64296070
The map that has Rakata Prime was only "officially introduced" as of the 18th, with TFA. For all we know the LSG already has it's decided-canon story about it set, but not in any released form as of yet. They just want us to know the planet is in their mind as potentially important, and that's it for now.
>>64294174
It's interesting that they kept locations that got no refereces whatsoever in any of the movies like Onderon and Nal Hutta. Are they planning to do something with them in the near future? I'd very much like to seethe movies' take on Nar Shaddaa
>>64296070
For money. They are probably trying to generate hype and buzz, and what better way than to allude to probably the most popular SW game?
Because its filled with faggots
>>64296070
they just had some intern copy-paste a map with most of the superfluous names taken out to reduce clutter. Rakata Prime was on whatever EU map they used as a template and, by pure chance, happened to be one of the planets that didn't get removed in the de-cluttering process. I seriously doubt any more thought than that went into it
>>64296145
Onderon is in TCW, and I think Nal Hutta was shown once there as well. Nar Shaddaa was in the Marvel Star Wars comic.
>>64296126
I see, thanks
>>64296145
>>64296186
Ya both Onderon and Nal Hutta are in TCW
>>64295010
>>64294641
Coruscant is also the homeworld of the human race in SW lore; so a human supremacist group blowing it up would be self-defeating.
Sheev is actually more of a dick than First Order, because he had satellites programmed to cause apocalypse-level hurricanes on Naboo and other planets on the event of his death, just as a final fuck you to the galaxy. The ones on Naboo were shot-down by Rebels led by Lando before they did too much damage though. It's from a canon post-Disney novel.
>>64294838
they'd be going so fast that the particles just slip past each other, idiot. do you even know basic science?
>>64296162
You don't seem to understand the power of the Lucas Story Group and what their job is.
>>64296070
There are plenty of planets and systems that are named and are therefore canon that have no stories occur on them.
>>64295047
Starkiller Base uses some technology to send the beam through hyperspace.
>>64295409
It's just shitty writing from people who care more about visuals than logic.
Officially, they were able to see the beam because "hyperspace distortion waves" from the firing system made it visible to other planets.
>>64295047
watch star trek and you'll understand the level of not giving a shit JJ has for internal consistency, or anything even remotely approaching science
>>64295138
no, the ayy lmaos simply invented the first hyperdrives
humans a million years later used left over relics to engineer the first hyperdrives
hyperspace simply is, the lmaos didnt make it

>galaxy

what you are complaining about it akin to bitching that globes dont have every po-dunk population:43 shithole listed on them

This
>you can't fire at warp speed is an actual line in ST:ID

>>64296742
>populous/important ones are shown and the rest dont need to be listed on a general map of the galaxy
In Before the Awakening, Poe fights First Order ships near a planet that was so useless to the Empire it didn't officially get a name on maps decades prior. Just a designation (letters and numbers) and nothing else.
>>64294384
>>64294582
That's what I was thinking? Why don't people go space west?
>>64297048
Old canon stated that, similarly to the deep core, there's a lot of space anomalies and fucked up shit in the unknown regions, supposedly left there by ancient powerful civilizations (celestials, rakatans), it's not a mistake Rakata Prime is straight in the middle of unknown space
>>64297048
obviously thats where the space wind comes from.
its hard to sail west.
>>64297048
It's more like
>they started going East, so the just stayed that way
Also, passing through the core of the galaxy is dangerous because of all the supernovas and black holes. Coruscant is positioned with the Core to the galactic West, so it's easier to go that way.
Also, the Hutts had a huge empire in the far East; when humans and Hutts met, they basically had bridged the gap.
>>64294174
Just realized that this map doesn't have Kamino.
>>64294174
Here's a new one.
Look how closer Coruscant is than Hosnian Prime from Starkiller Base.
We really don't need the scientific discussion on how those destructobeams didn't get fucked around with that massive black hole in the center that would've fucked with it's gravitational pull.
But really, Coruscant is not that far away.
It's like they could've popped them right off before on the way there.
>>64298037
Coruscant isn't the base planet for the New Republic; it's still under Empire control. Hux's goal was to destroy the New Republic with Starkiller, which he did.
>>64294799
>where
>asteroids aren't
>objects in space do not drift
>>64297776
it was erased from the archives
>>64298224
maybe they nuked it seeing as they could make a galaxy conquering fucking empire from one planet.
>>64296237
That doesn't happen in science. Infact particles need to travel very fast to overcome their forces of repulsion and collide.
Don't you even know science faggot?
>>64294838
you obviously dont understand this but in order for two ships to hit each other, one has to be going slower than the other one
>>64298279
It's canon that all ships don't travel the same speed in hyperspace.
>>64298148
I like my old headcanon
All the beat path seems more rationale
and
JUST
>>64298199
IN SYSTEMS
>>64296575
Star Wars has never been even close to scientifically accurate (space wizards, concentrated beams of light that just magically stop after a certain distance and have zero diffusion whatsoever, objects of mass moving faster than light, sound in the vacuum of space) and the internal consistency is pretty dodgy too, idk why it's suddenly bad now if it didn't bother you before.
>>64298257
Considering how the entire Senate didn't make any inquiries into where an entire armed and ready Clone Army came from, it would be relatively easy to just erase Kamino from history. In fact, its completely unbelievable that an entire alien species would be so stupid as to invite their own annihilation.
>>64298506
Kaminoans were part of the Senate, though, after they brought in the Clone Army.
>>64294958
...is that Frank Herbert!?!
>>64298541
And yet they never brought it up. Ever. Not interviewed or documented even once. They just conveniently disappeared and everyone assumed Palpatine pulled all the clones out of his ass.
>>64298591
The Kaminoan we see in TCW in the Senate is very loud about having the Republic find new ways of income to pay for even more clones from her planet. Her views for more clones = prolonged war = max profit made the Loyalists (Padme, Bail, Onaconda, Montha) dislike her, since they were all for peace in our time bullshit.
>>64293444
>unexplored part right next to galactic capital
>>64298319
jar jar binks is also canon
>>64298782
And that has nothing to do with the point.
>>64293523
The inner core is incredibly dangerous, even small ships are likely to get destroyed unless you've got a ridiculously good pilot or you have the exact maps which show you the safe routes through it.
As for the Unknown Regions, they tried exploring it, and they ended up getting attacked by the Chiss, the Kiliks, and the Vong.
>>64294384
Maybe I'm a dunce but am I the only one who doesn't get this
>>64298829
I miss the Chiss and Thrawn. They are some of the only non-retarded stuff in the EU.
>>64294174
Weird how they haven't mapped out the entire galaxy but can travel to satellite galaxies like the Rishi Maze.
>>64299109
They hadn't even mapped Africa when they discovered America.
>>64295826
Starkiller was J.J. version of Starforge, just like Rey is Revan. They getting elements from Kotor to appease old fans, and the ideas our good for film.
>>64295509
I know about the Chiss, but what are the other two?
>>64299109
We hadn't explored all of the oceans when we went to the moon so idk man
There are still parts of jungles we haven't been too, islands we haven't actually been on, and tribes we haven't contacted but we just sent a probe out past Pluto
>>64299247
If that were true, then why didn't he make the Starkiller some ancient weapon? I would be much happier with that than "remnants of the empire hollow out a planet in 30 years."
>>64299044
>>64299496
>but we just sent a probe out past Pluto
I wouldn't count that as "just" considering it's been in space for many of our Earth years, and it only just flew past it.
>>64293747
>http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Mnggal-Mnggal
Sounds like the Vom from Bloodhype.
>>64299496
Pretty sure we have comprehensive maps of the ocean floor and satellite images of the entire surface of the planet amigo.
>>64299522
Like I said borrowing certain elements, not following 100%. Like how Kylo's helment is a reference to Revan's helmet, but Rey is really Revan in character.
>>64299548
Yes I know that, but you get the point and the fact that we sent it out like nine yearse ago and have sent probes and shit out for as long as we've been capable of surpassing Earth's escape velocity just proves my point even more, we were sending shit out with the goal of learning about objects very far away when we're still lacking information about shit on our own planet, so it's really not all that weird that, in a galaxy where faster than light travel is possible and even common, that they'd know about and possibly visit a satellite galaxy before exploring and charting every single system within the main galaxy
>>64299667
Then how do we keep discovering a ton of new species' every year? it's almost like having seen something and having been there to actually explore it are two different things wow
>>64299722
Yeah, mapping and travelling two different things, once much easier than the other. I'm glad we agree.
>>64299667
>Pretty sure we have comprehensive maps of the ocean floor
No we don't. Penetrating 5km+ of water with radar is non-trivial.

>he had satellites programmed to cause apocalypse-level hurricanes on Naboo and other planets on the event of his death

How do they not at least have the stars mapped out when you can physically get to places like this with relative ease? Treasure map for luke was fucking retarded.
>>64301520

Excuse me, I'm not well versed in the lore, I'm just being retarded. Ignore the linked post.
