- "Even long running shows like Hyperspace Daze were forced to dramatically rewrite their plots and characters to deal with the new reality."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
Hyperspace Daze was a holodrama series that was a long-running show by the time the Galactic Empire's Great Jedi Purge began with Order 66[1] in 19 BBY.[2] As part of the Empire's efforts to paint the Jedi Order as villains, dramatic rewrites of the show's characters and plots were made when it was forced to become anti-Jedi propaganda by the Empire's Coalition for Progress, although without explicitly naming the Jedi as the villains. The reference points that show shared with other propaganda found a mark with audiences and a file covering it titled "Coalition for Progress—Anti-Jedi Propaganda" was stored in the "COMPNOR" section of the Imperial Archives.[1] In 35 ABY,[3] the historian Beaumont Kin mentioned Hyperspace Daze in[1] his[4] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire.[1]
Behind the scenes
Hyperspace Daze was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
