This episode dives into a staple of science fiction, faster-than-light travel, and explores how this subject is handled in the Star Wars universe. The hosts analyze both the established traits of hyperspace (the need for precise calculations, the speed of the travel, the aesthetic of the stars smearing into lines in a cockpit) as well as how hyperspace is used as a plot device. To hear more about how hyperspace allows such a huge galaxy to feel well-traveled, about the mystical aspects to hyperspace, and to hear more about the majestic purrgil, listen now!
