parsecs is ARE a measure of distance, not speed. Thanks Captain Obvious. Tell Han though. I did, multiple times. also, it isn't so obvious when you have people spouting it off like it's time and not distance. Like lightyears.

I heard a convincing explanation once: Kessel is surrounded by black holes, and quicker vessels can safely go closer to the singularity, meaning they can do the trip in less distance, as well as time.

If E.T. can eventually make it to our galaxy, so can cute little, spear-carrying, canibalistic teddy bears.

I don't know. All I said was it's not difficult to figure out that Ewoks don't exist. Especially not on contemporary Earth. For an adult with a well-reasoned mind. For a child who naturally believes in fairy tales, not so much.

That's where the supposed Star Wars geekdom and the knowledge of the whole different galaxy thing that would naturally follow comes into play.

Silly Art, still applying adult logic to children's fantasies.

Actually making it out of the galaxy without being blown up would be a good start. ...why are we having this discussion? I don't know. All I said was it's not difficult to figure out that Ewoks don't exist. Especially not on contemporary Earth. Thrawn sort of went out of his way to blow it up. So that it fails doesn't mean intergalactic travel cannot occur in the Star Wars setting, just that the one attempt that was made was sabotaged by a civilization next to nobody was aware of.

Maybe its possible, but until it does such speculation is essentially just fanfiction.
