How do BLOCKADES work? Why not just go around? | Star Wars Lore

I definitely overstated in saying that travel outside hyperspace lanes is impossible, however, it is very dangerous

Hyperspace jumps aren’t like cropdusting, they need millions of precise calculations Episode 9: LIGHT SPEED SKIPPING!

I still can't believe a planet like Naboo depended solely on interstellar trade in order to survive and suffered after mere days of blockade. They have shiny ships but no agricultural or medical industry to keep the people alive? The Gungans on the other hand not only has a self-sustaining civilization that made them oblivious to some blockade but later provided the bulk of the army that fought the droids.

Is Endor the forest moon or the planet? EckhartsLadder: Yes.

General: Damn the enemy has a blockade what are we going to do? Everybody watching: JUST GO AROUND

Blockade + High Ground = UNSTOPPABLE!

Ah the memories, remember when Hyperspace had rules? You couldn't just jump out from atmosphere, or into atmosphere, or instantly travel from atmosphere of one planet into the atmosphere of another.

Curious to know how the hyperspace jumping in episode 9 works with this video

#askEck how many Imperial Class Star Destroyers do you think Spaceball One could defeat?

If you run the risk of hitting something like a star and dying, how do people travel in hyperspace and make sure they're not hitting anyone else coming the other way?

"Hyperdrives do not allow a vehicle to enter hyperspace and just willy-nilly travel... Unless it's part of the Sequel Trilogy." Fixed that for you.

You can also pull a Han and “make your landing approach at light speed”

I'm pretty sure hyperlanes aren't a thing in canon anymore. Since ships seem to be able to just go wherever they like.

hits block button hOw Do BlOcAdEs wOrK?

Well researched and presented

So Do planets not move in Star Wars or do they just all know where the planets are at all times? Would rotating around other masses temporarily close hyperspace lanes

Interesting concept for a video, definitely interested!

This is one of the main reason Star Wars factions would have a hard time invading other galaxies without years, perhaps decades, of advance scouting. Sure, Hyperspace travel is much faster than most other forms of FTL travel in fiction, but requires them to have home field advantage to use it accurately. This is actually something that would put them, for instance, at an extreme disadvantage against the UNSC (in this one area), because of the Cole protocol, which prevents exactly that kind of navigational data from getting into enemy hands at all costs.

Officer: “Sir, there are ships attempting to circumvent our planet-wide blockade! They’re attempting to go around us, what are your orders?” Admiral: “...Shoot them?” Officer: “Oh. Right.”

Just build a wall... and have Naboo pay for it.😂
