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.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT 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.
In prequel-era Legends material, the Pammant cataclysm is only referenced, not shown directly. Towards the end of the Clone Wars, the Quaestor, a Praetor-class warship, was damaged in a naval battle, causing it to unintentionally jump into the planet Pammant.
The Holdo Maneuver Still Breaks Star Wars Canon If The Last Jedi’s Holdo Maneuver followed established Star Wars lore, Snoke’s flagship would be unharmed but Holdo and the Raddus would still be vaporized. Hyperspace-ramming is, ultimately, a far less effective and more costly tactic than simply using a vessel’s onboard weapons, but Pammant likely suffered such a harsh fate because it not only lacked shielding , but the world’s tunneled surface may have also made it especially vulnerable.
