Speculation Other galaxies?

Maybe the sequel trilogy could involve beings from other galaxies showing up to help (or deter) the Alliance from setting up a new government. There are some interesting possibilities here. What do you think?

 

I am not really sure that bringing in a race from another galaxy would be that significant. There are so many races and species that exist in the Star Wars galaxy to choose from already and I imagine there are a lot that we haven't even heard of. A galaxy is a big thing...and I imagine even in a galaxy like the one portrayed in Star Wars there are parts of it that will never have been explored.

 

"A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...."

No. At least I hope not.

 

There's at least several dwarf galaxies surrounding the main one; you see 'em when Obi-Wan is searching for Kamino in the Archives.

 

Yes, I see your point. However, scientists best guestimates are that there are 100 billion stars per galaxy and about 100 billion galaxies in the univers (conservatively). I say this because it shows what depth can be explored in GL's galaxy without the need to bring in external factors.

Agreed!

Well, we've only seen a tiny tiny fraction of the existing galaxy onscreen.
Lot more to explore there before going into other galaxies.

 

No need. A galaxy is a very, VERY big place and so far we've only seen a tiny, tiny part of the GFFA.

 

That's been done in EU. It's a terrible idea, IMO: all elements should be integral to the setting.

 

Didn't the Atlas guys promise to explore the Firefist Galaxy then for some reason they did not?

 

Read the NJO, you'll get what you want. I'm not a hater of the series, it's actually pretty good, but things happen that I'm not entirely a fan of. As for the ST, they should leave that idea alone and focus on the GFFA.

 

I think the Star Wars galaxy is more than enough for the ST. I am not totally against the idea of another galaxy; however, I reserve judgement until I see more as to how it would be incorporated within the context of the story.

 

1.Everyone here keeps talking about how big the GFFA is, and that's true, but everyone in the movies keeps talking about ruling the galaxy and bringing order to the galaxy, implying that the galaxy has been entirely domesticated by the powers that be.

2. I'm not talking about the film *taking place* in other galaxies, I'm talking about beings *from* other galaxies coming over and helping out. Like they've been waiting for the GFFA to get it's sh@& together so they can cooperate with it's leaders.

 

Dear god no.

 

There's absolutely no need for it and I can almost, with 99.999 percent certainty, declare we won't ever see a "Galaxies collide" scenario within Star Wars, unless it's in like Episode 66 in which case SW jumped the shark anyway.

 

When it says in a galaxy far away, I think it refers to certain events that took place in a certain galaxy but I have a hard time believing that there could be that many planets in one galaxy that can support life.

I believe that the Star Wars galaxy is really a universe and that a bunch of the key planets may exist in one galaxy, unless if it is a really big galaxy that just so happen to have a bunch of planets that can support life on them.

 

lol at the resistance to this.

 

the sith have retreated to other galaxies in the EU, right? so could the sith be out there in other galaxies?

 

Think of the SW galaxy as the world of a high fantasy setting. Having invaders from another galaxy arrive makes as much sense as Martians dropping in on Middle-earth.

 

LOL at the notion to begin with. I can't speak for the other "resistors" but frankly the idea is lame (to put it mildly.)

In a universe with 100 Billion galaxies, all containing roughly 100 Billion stars, and drifting apart exponentially there's absolutely no need to introduce the logistical nightmare that is invaders from other galaxies; especially when you have plenty of alien races and worlds to explore.

 

Seriously. I'm baffled by this idea being a travesty to people. It's not so far fetched to think that the the galactic government is in dire straights, being of a Force-driven galaxy that has only one (barely-)trained Force user to show for it. All kinds of problems are likely to emerge from this. Why is the idea of representatives from other galaxies giving their input so preposterous? This is not a Martians/Middle-Earth scenario, it's more like a Middle-Earth/Distant Realm scenario.

 

I don't know how better to put it. Basically, the GFFA is the setting--excepting the NJO, Star Wars has never made references to other galaxies as part of the context of the story. For example, the Galactic Empire is named so because it controlled the entire galaxy--that is, the entire world for the purposes of the story. If you later expand the setting in such a way that it diminishes the earlier conflict, that's not a good thing, IMHO.

 

Alright.

Sounds a lot like the "Sith were destroyed, balance brought to the Force" argument to me. Just sayin'.

As DarthBoba pointed out, there's already been another galaxy in Star Wars, seen in AOTC.

The Rishi Maze is a satellite galaxy.



Also, doesn't this shot take place outside the GFFA? I'm not an astronomer, so maybe I'm wrong.

 

To each their own. If done right, it wouldn't diminish the earlier conflict IMO, it would put perspective on it and create a sense of progression.

 

CT-Jenny: Granted, so maybe "galaxy" isn't meant literally. It strikes me as the space adventure analogue to "world". Presumably, the Rishi Maze is still part of "the galaxy" insofar as it is still part of the Republic/Galactic Empire. Or am I wrong here (genuinely asking)?
