"Vader enjoyed staring into it."

Says it all really.

[arachnonixon]

Hyperspace Madness is no excuse for Hyperspace Rudeness

[lacintag]

I think Hyperspace Madness is just a legend, rather than a real condition. Like how people used to think the moon could make you go crazy.

[casbot]

I feel the *WARP* overtake me, it is a good _pain_ .

[brandonmadigan]

Scif universe with the strangest mating rituals for Valentine's Day #askeck

[trevorp]

*Something snarky about the Warp and Warhammer goes here*

[JustinY.]

So basically, if the untrained eye stared too long, eventually, they would stop thinking.

[Alverant]

I think hyperspace madness was an abandoned concept. It doesn't mesh with the movie cannon, nor was it mentioned AFAIK. I don't think it fits into the SW universe given the frequency of hyperspace travel. If it strains the eyes so nothing more than a few hours of watching it can cause headaches, that's one thing. But full-blown madness, not buying it.

[DCPTF]

so it's not as bad as going though the Warp

[emilyyyyysim]

It's like that quote by Nietzsche: "And if thou gaze long into hyperspace, hypserspace will also gaze into thee."

[norwegiannightmare]

Team rocket got hyperspace madness because they’re always blasting off at the speed of light

[antwan]

This actually reminds me of an actual mental condition, brought about by a lack of stimulus. That happens to people who are locked in a room with nothing to interact with.

[gutz]

Staring too long at The Last Jedi will cause the same effects as hyperspace madness.

[JSnake]

That double space in the title is more horrifying than hyperspace madness...

[CRYRAPTR]

"This is madness!"
"Madness?"
"This. Is. Hyperspace!"

[VictorKiithsa]

Could you please cover the strange creatures of hyperspace or deep space, such as the starweird. I know there is not a lot of info on those creatures but i could make for a good short filler video.

[buttersurge]

Maybe hyper space is some sort of manifestation of the force that binds all things together, not just living beings but the galaxy itself, and that force ghosts spirits may actually travel using hyperspace?

[oledomsjude]

Star Wars Fans: Hyperspace Madness is scary

Unknown fandom: AMATEURS

Star Wars Fans: What!?

40k fans: AMATEURS!

[AccidentalNinja]

I can imagine ships being designed to have the windows automatically go opaque when the hyperdrive is engaged.

[Vice_Admiral_Garp]

Vader was extremely force sensitive 4th dimensional travel probably made him feel closer to the force than when he was within normal space
