Are the humans in Star Wars — Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, etc. — biologically related to us?

@jsit @bitprophet well this resolves nothing (so far).

@bitprophet @josh0 I also assume many people “know” the answer based on the mythological canon (I don’t know what that answer might be), but I also hoped to get a sense of what causal viewers of the movies think.

@jsit My assumption is “No” and the reasoning is the movies start with “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….”. Practically it is not really possible to be biologically related. ️

@illenseer Same here

@jsit @illenseer "we are an offshoot of the Star Wars humans” implies /inter/-galactic travel, which has not been shown to exist in SW canon.
Regardless: distance-wise, on average, if a galaxy takes a couple weeks to cross end-to-end (rough derivation from poorly specified canonical travel times) then intergalactic travel would take a year and a half or more.
On top of that: hyperspace navigation in SW requires “nav data”, which is surely lacking in intergalactic space!

@bitprophet Theirs is not the Milky Way?
-
@jsit I'm not sure how else we're supposed to interpret “in a galaxy far away” other than "not the milky way" right?

@bitprophet Haha oh of course right
