Purrgil Hyperspace travel is teh mystery teh space station ring is looking to track & then navigate.
ExtraGalactializing travel... is a new Canon take for future movies... so are likely foreshadowing a future movie/trilogy or something that involves that.
I'm imagining completely new beings & locations like what waz described by the GOT creators... who were on deck to make a new Star Wars Trilogy at one point... & they said it would take place in a different time & there would be no recognizable characters. I really wondered how they were going to pull that off since the unknown regions are now being mapped out & were being used by teh empire to build their Snoke fleet in secret after being defeated in Ep 6.
Hyperspace to different galaxy'z open up a whole different galaxy of "happeningz & beingz" who are unique & have been evolving as much as our own. Maybe longer... maybe shorter. (longer I'd expect)
This new series now offerz us that perspective. ...or at least it's now made it possible & so canon lor has now explained how its done... so that this & future films can draw from that endless creativity that is not bound by current lor.
FOOKING SWEET imo!!!
I feel they're opening that option up in teh Axocka seriez because this seemz very out of place that teh big bad got whisked off to a completely new galaxy & now has to come back.
I mean, he's already from teh outer regions, & so they could've just had Thrawn retreat there... but they chose another galaxy... & created teh purrgil whale'z to get him there. (I guess they had to explain his & Ezra'z absence from teh original trilogy though)
In Ahsoka Ep. 2... they created teh enormous transport circle with "another" hyperdrive that in itself is bigger than anything the republic usez... so teh hole thing seemz to had been crafted for the purpose of introducing travel to other galaxies... & I'm just presenting the question of why they needed to do that since Thrawn was from teh outer regions & could've just as easily disappeared there.
I'm loving these first 3 eps. Sabine doesn't have teh gifts, but since everything has midichlorianz in it... an individual with perhaps lower than normal midichlorians... "for a Jedi" can still learn to call upon teh force at whatever capacity they're capable of.
I love this line of lor... because it tellz us that we can do the same. iow... maybe the universe didn't give us the ability we see in others... but we have to do what we can with what we got. Very motivational.
