    What if this was just a high scoring post from yesterday you’ve slightly reworded?

    Traveling at the fastest speeds possible it would take 2,537,000,000 years to get from here to the andromeda galaxy if StarWars was live streamed from the Milky Way Galaxy we still wouldn’t see it for approximately 2,537,000,000 years, since we have seen it, it must have taken place around the same time as in the late Pliocene epoch, the only people around to watch it would be our pre human ancestors Woolly mammoth’s and sabertooth tigers.

    BUT WAIT! I hear you say Han Solo could travel faster than light, That’s right he could go 0.5 past the speed of light In other words it would take Han 1.69 Million years, changing nothing accept maybe a bit more ice.

    But wait you say desperately Han wasn’t using normal measurements thanks to retconning, This is true in later (Technically non canon now) supplementary work the speed ships travel was deliberately obfuscated and changed to the point of magic but let’s do the math anyway, from 1930 to 2024 is 94 years in order to travel 2,537,000,000 light years you would have to travel 27 million times the speed of light, now let’s talk about how that kind of speed would shatter canon so badly that it can’t be accurate. Actually let’s not because it’s currently 3am and I’m tired but needless to say it breaks everything.
