Been wondering about this for a while now. In the 360 screenshot of the kessel system, it showed a couple of black holes. What happens when you fly into one of these? I mean, you can't exactly tow your crumpled wreckage out of it to the nearest station. Also, do they have gravity that affects flight when too close?

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word
itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words -
"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's
why so is mankind.

They're just backdrops, like the planets.

Aww. It would have been cool to have a battle around a black hole, shooting your enemy's engines out and watching them plummet to their doom.

Black holes, as well as planets, have gravity wells. Its like an intodictor effecr, you CAN'T Jump to Lightspeed in a black hole.

those black holes are the "Kessel Maw" and are what apparently made Solo's "making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs" such a big deal.
