illuminatus, i dont think we've ever seen that definition. the Database, while not perfect, says:
"The term hyperdrive refers to the engine and interrelated systems that propel a starship through the alternate dimension of hyperspace."
It clearly states that its /somewhere else/, not just /really fast/. Besides, while relativity permits FTL past c just not at c, it also says that you'll go back in time. Which doesn't help much

Then relativity functions slightly differently in Star Wars, or our understanding of it is imperfect. Hyperspace as another dimension has every sniff and whiff of being slang, much like Lightspeed.kojikun wrote:illuminatus, i dont think we've ever seen that definition. the Database, while not perfect, says:
