The Star Wars galaxy , as seen from the extragalactic respite point of Haven at the end of The Empire Strikes Back, is a spiral galaxy not unlike our own Milky Way Galaxy. That it belongs to such a relatively rare type of galaxy limits somewhat the number of galaxies that might be identified with the Star Wars galaxy.
If quantum physics allows parallel universes, and there are an infinite number of them, however, then it's entirely possible that one of them contains the galaxy depicted in Star Wars. But again, it's not inevitable. Imagine the roll of a die across infinite parallel universes.
Knowing how vast our universe is, could the events of Star Wars actually have happened? Of course, no matter how unlikely anything is possible. However, for star wars to have actually occurred it would have to happen in a different system than the known universe, because there are different laws of physics there.
It is common practice for people and the publishers of the stories to refer to the events in the Star Wars galaxy as events in the "Star Wars universe," as the events in the Legends continuity outside the main six films are collectively called the Expanded Universe.
Yes, they exist.
A super-Earth in deep freeze? Think ice-planet Hoth. And that distant world with double sunsets can't help but summon thoughts of sandy Tatooine.
At the time, no real exoplanet with comparable geological features was known, but now a team of astronomers announced the discovery of a world likely covered by active volcanoes - very much like the fictional Mustafar.
Astronomers have used a new technique to confirm a real-life Tatooine, the fictional planet with two suns that was home to Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars.” The planet, Kepler-16b, is about 245 light years from Earth, is a gas giant, and is roughly the size of Saturn.
That means that the first film, A New Hope, takes place in the year zero. Everything after year zero is noted as “BBY” ("Before the Battle of Yavin”), and every year before it is “ABY” ("After the Battle of Yavin").
There is only one reference to Earth in the official Star Wars canon, and it's in the unlikeliest of places. It's not established as the home planet of Grogu. There are no Rebel or Imperial outposts confirmed to be on Earth.
Via Lactea, known by it's inhabitants as the Milky Way and the Milky Way Galaxy, was a spiral galaxy, possibly a Barred Spiral Galaxy, and one of the billions of galaxies in the Universe and a neighboring galaxy of the Star Wars Galaxy.
The Force is a metaphysical and ubiquitous power in the Star Wars fictional universe.
Typically, Humans had an average lifespan of 100 to 120 standard years. Those who were keenly atuned to the Force, a ubiquitous and binding power that suffused the whole Known Universe, could live up to 200.
To be rational, there are estimated over 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe alone so the chances of a galaxy existing somewhere in the universe, possibly outside the observable universe, just like the one we see in Star Wars is very likely.
Wookieepedia states that “It was said that those who have tried to transverse the space outside the galaxy never returned with the only trace of their travels; distorted messages warning of space hazards like geomagnetic anomalies.”
In Star Wars canon, leaving the galaxy is possible. The don't do it because the plot has yet to call for it. Officially, the ships travel at the speed of plot with zero consistency. Reddit users have speculated that a trip across the Star Wars galaxy would take anything from 1 to 7 days.
Structure. The galaxy was between 100,000 and 120,000 light-years across, or 37,000 parsecs (a parsec is 3.258 light years), and approximately 13 billion years old.
Coruscant features prominently in both the 2003 traditionally-animated The Clone Wars series and the 2008 computer-animated The Clone Wars series, as the headquarters of the Jedi Temple and the senate. Many episodes feature scenes on Coruscant, or take place entirely on Coruscant, throughout both series' run.
At Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, prepare to be transported to the planet of Batuu, a remote outpost on the Galaxy's Edge. Explore Planet Batuu as you travel into a thriving port of rogue traders, droids and strange creatures.
The second time Yoda mentions his long life is in Return of the Jedi, when he tells Luke, “When you reach 900 years old, you will not look as good as you will.” If we take Yoda at his word, that means the Jedi Master died at the ripe old age of 900.
How Long Is Star Wars? Assuming you watched 24 hours a day, it would take you 7 days, 8 hours, and 10 minutes to watch all of the canon Star Wars films and TV shows.
Realism. The real-world reason why humans are abundant in the Star Wars galaxy is simply because fans crave realism. We, as humans, are more likely to go see something if we can relate to characters that act, behave, and look like us.
Our solar system features just one star, the Sun, and a host of (relatively) small planets. But it was almost not the case, and Jupiter got right on the edge of becoming the Sun's smaller sibling.
Description. Tatooine is a desert planet in a binary star system. It once had large oceans full of marine based life and a world-spanning jungle, but this biosphere was destroyed when the myopic Rakata razed the planet, drying up its riverbeds and boiling away its oceans.
Earthlike planets orbiting some binary stars can stay in stable orbits for at least a billion years. Researchers shared their finding in Seattle, January 11, at the American Astronomical Society meeting. That sort of stability could potentially allow life to develop, as long as the planets aren't too hot or too cold.
