I’m somewhat skeptical of a Wookieepedia passage with so few cited sources. In fact, I don’t think that particular passage cites anything.
As I understand it, the working theory is that hyperspace is an alternate dimension, and the only form of energy that crosses the dimensional barrier is gravity. As such, any electromagnetic or weak nuclear radiation wouldn’t cross the barrier, and thus would be useless for either communication or detection purposes.

Iirc, that was actually my theory as to how it was possible, based on the assumption that the N-CRAB device (which is experimental tech as of whenever Galladinium’s FT is placed in the classic era timeline) would’ve had thirty or so years to mature in order to make such a thing possible. I don’t know if Disney has ever addressed it on their own.
EDIT: Here’s the post where I suggested it, back in 2016. |
This is way I see hyperspace too, like a alternate dimension or at least a distorted version of reality, wherein ordinary comms just don’t work same way
Signals or messages picked up eventually but no direct back and forth communication |
