    Star Wars nerds, had time travel ever been a thing in the old Expanded Universe?

    It's such a bonkers theory, I kinda want to see it. It'd be a glorious mess.

    They kind of did time travel in Rebels. Which is canon.
    The main guy gets access to a portal into the world between worlds. Sort of a portal into the force. In there he hears all kinds of voices (We know to be quotes/clips from all the films including rogue one and force awakens) and there’s the all these portals he sees out into different times and events past and future.
    Palpatine is trying to get access into this world between worlds (he doesn’t on the end) so it’s not time travel but it kind of is.
    Doubt it will ever happen onscreen.
    Red letter media did one of their dumb videos this week suggesting as much so they could retcon last Jedi. And of course all the clickbait sites are running it as news.
    You’ll never see time travel in Star Wars I don’t believe.

    Here’s the clip. It’s actually really cool.

    Yeah, I asked because the red letter media video was literally the post before mine :) I like their candour TBH, they feel more honest than most talking heads on YouTube and less eager to cultivate controversy or clickbait. Your mileage may vary of course (and wouldn't agree with them on a lot, such as Discovery, but Mike is a huge Trek nerd).

    Time travel in SW though feels... like a slippery slope, especially if as you're saying it's technically canon. Magical time travel though, yeesh. Personal preference but "magic" is best left out of Star Wars, beyond keeping it an abstract "Force". But then that ship is sailed...

    The above video is the closest they’ve come. It won’t happen on the Big screen.

    (I didn’t see the RLM video above your post haha)
