Communications in the SW universe is an interesting topic.

There appears to be a magic 'Wi-fi' network that extends everywhere in the galaxy from deep space to hyber space to the most desolate uninhabited planetoid in the outer rim.

All one was to do is connect to this a network
and gain access to real time FTL audio visual streaming to anywhere else in the galaxy.
is a tiny transmitter.

So the tiny Probe droid can transmit back images
from Hoth to the Empire in real time across mutiple star systems How?
Or the tracking device on the falcon can transmit from Yarvin to the empire.
We see characters in different planets and ships(some in hyberspace) in completely different parts of galaxy having video conferences in real time

Where is this network exactly, its infrastructure?

Lucas is a hack.

its all just complete magic

Relativistic physics dictate that electromagnetic communication (radio) would only be tactically feasible if the receiver was within light-days or perhaps light-months away.
But the movie is a fantasy that assumes matter can travel faster than light, so it's less of a stretch to assume that communication can do likewise.

That is a damn good point. This kind of thinking makes me wonder what Dumbledore could do if he got he tinkered with computers. Could that spell that makes the interior of an outwardly small tent huge be applied to digital storage?

>https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/HoloNet/Legends
>The HoloNet, also spelled Holonet, was a galactic communications grid that was developed, used and maintained by the Galactic Republic and later by the Galactic Empire. The HoloNet was a near-instantaneous communications network commissioned by the Galactic Senate to provide a free flow of hologram communication and information exchange among member worlds. It vastly sped up galactic communications, which had previously depended on more circuitous subspace transmissions or relays.
>A message was first broadcast from a planet, a vessel in hyperspace, or from another point of origin; from there, it was then routed from the point of origin's transmitter through potentially millions of hyperwave transceivers suspended in hyperspace to a HoloNet relay, where it was sorted, identified and logged by the relay's computer, and then routed further via appropriate transceivers to its destination. The transceivers themselves transferred information across the galaxy through s-threads. This enabled data to be sent and received at faster-than-light speeds, ensuring near-instantaneous communication from one end of the galaxy to the other, by routing information from origin, to transceiver, to HoloNet relay, to transceiver network yet again, and finally to its destination.
>It should also be noted that information transmitted via the HoloNet was nearly impossible to infiltrate or corrupt, thanks to the s-thread's incredibly narrow hyperspace dimensions. The only way to do so was to attach a listening device to the sender's equipment, the relay station, or at the destination itself.

TL;DR in Star Wars hyperwave transmitters are easy to have and the galaxy is saturated with millions of repeaters to carry on messages into a galactic information net. Anyone anywhere in the settle galaxy has space wifi.

You have autism. Touch grass, have sex, and learn to have fun. It's a movie. For children. It's not real. It's not scientifically accurate hard sci-fi. Fucking dork.

Glorified kids movies with layers of contrived “mythos” and hackneyed world building that exist to sell Made in China xenoestrogen-filled plastic slop and you wonder about the realism?

Thats stupid its not hard to imagine a highly advanced civilization would possess the technology to have their radio transmissions travel immense distances

It beamed a signal up to space and that's how the Empire knew where it was and what it was seeing.

Radio signals nigger. How does a FPV show its eyes to its pilot? How does a IRL probe or rover do it?

OK, Scifi is written by science illiterate people that can't distinguish reality from magic.
But then again, no hard scifi, and I mean HARD Scifi, ever became popular enough to even have a Syfy series. All you have is soft scifi sprinkled with some reality (Expanse).

Real science is boring.

Fun fact: the Hutts used to own the HoloNet central hub on Nar Shaddaa in exchange for neutrality when the Old Republic was duking it out with Vitiate's Sith Empire. Both sides left Huttspace alone to prevent the Hutts from just leaking all their comms to the enemy.

Well they do say a galaxy far far away and a long time ago. So it could have been so far and long ago when the vacuum energy level was different than ours and so their speed of light and physics are wildly different from ours and the vacuum decay that divers us and our visible universe has not yet reached them because the corrected speed of light from the decay even hasn't reached them yet.

Probe connects with nearby transmission relays on Outer Rim planets (may or may not be controlled by the Empire), sends encoded data to next transmission relay, repeat until they reach the Executor. The Empire monitors the entire galaxy, it makes sense they have the tech to keep everything in check.
