Star Wars Legends Predicted Last Jedi"s Holdo Maneuver

:0:0

The controversial Holdo Maneuver in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was not the first instance of hyperspace-ramming, as two properties from the Star Wars Legends continuity include similar events. Vice Admiral Holdo’s hyperspace-ramming towards the end of The Last Jedi dazzled many viewers, while others recognized its lore-breaking ramifications. Of the two Legends-era properties that included hyperspace-ramming before The Last Jedi, one proves that the maneuver should not work, while the other demonstrates similar devastating effects, albeit under drastically different circumstances.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker attempted to mitigate the issues caused by The Last Jedi’s Holdo Maneuver scene by claiming it had a “one in a million chance” of success, but the original Star Wars continuity, Legends, demonstrates that it never should have worked in the first place. Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson’s Legends-era comic Race for Survival has a simultaneous trio of hyperspace rams fail to destroy the Executor. The Pammant disaster, referenced in Curtis Saxton’s Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith Incredible Cross-Sections, involves an accidental hyperspace ram into a planet’s surface, causing comparable destruction to the Holdo Maneuver, however.
