  • As I recall, hyperspace is like a pocket dimension. They just speed up a whole lot to enter hyperspace. So you can’t collide with things ‘in hyperspace’, but only as you’re going really fast while transitioning to hyperspace, which is quite a bit more limited in capability.

    Hyperspace drives are expensive, and droids are sentient (so its still suicidal). Using it as a weapon would be like having an shotgun in an fps game, where the first 5 feet is extremely lethal to really big targets, whereas anything after that is a waste of time. Also each shot is $10k.

    The real question would be why didn’t she just splat against the cruiser’s shields as they established that was a problem in the previous movie (when they need to hyperspace through the shielding of that planet), unless they had a Galaxy Quest moment where they forgot to flip the shields on.







  • Han Solo thought it was a moon up until he was in tractor beam distance. I’d imagine you wouldn’t see it from hyperspace, but even if you did manage to get within visual distance of it, you’d probably assume it was an exoplanet or asteroid.

    I guess the rebels on Alderaan should have been keeping an eye out for this thing but sensors in Star Wars seem to be a funky thing, since they have limited range and ships seem to bypass them all the time.

    Edit: Totally forgot - The death star can enter hyperspace as shown in Rogue One. In may have only been in Alderaan’s space for a little while.



    • A Hat in Time
    • Trine
    • Spiritfarer
    • The lego games
    • Knights and bikes
    • Human fall flat
    • Cassette beasts
    • Chariot
    • Octodad
    • Monaco

    I don’t remember these being particularly violent but maybe are worth a look:

    • Pit people
    • BattleBlock Theater

    I also liked Moon Hunters and Children of Morta but those are harder.

    Divinity Original Sin 1 is also good but definitely falls into the violent category. Its kind of goofy too so it could be worth considering. The second game + BG3 are significantly more violent and serious so are harder to recommend with that criteria.

    Edit: hmm it seems the formatting is funky in Voyager, should be fixed now
