We outright see this happen multiple times in the lore, and the Eldar compare the Emperor to their infinity circuit (but consider it distasteful due to their superiority complex).
Rebels also gives us the World Between Worlds which allows supernatural travel across space and time - very similar to the Webway.

Apparently, Luke Skywalker was gay all along.

As if I needed another reason to disdain Disney lore...never mind the reasoning behind it is pure tumblr shipping crap.

To be frank, I might be have grown out a bit of Star Wars, due to the Disneyfication and the sequel trilogy.
Once I get time I will listen to the audiobooks of the Expanded Universe.
I still like the Lucas trilogies. I will make watch those who haven't watched it(yes those people exist).
On the dwarfism of the events in Star Wars..
I dunno but it reminds of the world wars in a way through certain lenses because of how many big and tiny events did "interconnect" to bring down the Germans.
True the world wars don't have the same protagonists.

yeah in the original EU Palpatine was fuming over the fact that Tarkin blew up Alderaan. in fact Tarkin should consider himself lucky he died with the Death Star (as Vader says "The Emperor is not as forgiving as I am" honestly if A New Hope was made today you could have had Tarkin evacuate and the final scene could have been Tarkin and Vader being summoned before (Who is in shadow because he wouldn't have a solid actor yet) Palpatine. Vader would bow before the emperor without hesitation and Palpatine would have called Tarkin out and basically say something along the lines of "Your vanity and foolish attempt to show your power has legitimized the rebellion in the eyes of the galaxy. Your mess will now be mine to clean up." Tarkin would have tried to justify himself before quickly reverting to begging for his life.
Palpatine would give his iconic "You will pay the price for your lack of vision" and we see a close up of Vader close-up as we see flashing strobe lights along with hearing the sounds of electricity and Tarkin screaming.
would have shown the audience without saying it, "The rebels may have one the battle, but the Star Wars have only begun.

I haven't seen it but.... I think it is more Disney bullshit because Luke didn't have a SO in the sequel trilogy. Nor did he have a romantic interest in 4-6. That however is understandable.... in 4 his only living relatives are killed and the story itself takes place over a week. 5. He is stuck in the ass end of nowhere and is possibly having confused signals with the only hot girl he knows, Princess Leia. He doesn't see her for a bit since he is stuck with Yoda. In 6 Luke discovers the hot girl he knows is his sister and you know Incest is bad Mkay.
So...the Disney writers apparently put out Luke is gay because of this. The idiots are really reaching aren't they?

Very recently, Disney published a short story anthology called Stories of Jedi and Sith. In it is the story Luke on the Bright Side written by Sam Maggs.
Maggs is a Candian author known for being a Yaoi fangirl and for having a seething hatred of the male Star Wars fanbase. Her catchphrase is to tell men to "Die made about-"
There was a lot of controversy in 2019 when she was hired for the KOTOR remake, right after saying KOTOR was very specifically "not her favorite SW game." Afterward, she quit though I wasn't able to dig up the exact circumstances as why, she just said she quit on her website.
Weirdly, in that story, Luke... isn't even actually very gay. Luke is trapped with an OC male Rebel on Hoth under the ice, and holds hands with the guy while using the force to warm both of their bodies and let them dig their way through solid ice to escape. This is frankly the least gay handholding I've ever seen. Heck, it's the least romantic handholding. You might as well claim two people are in a relationship because one grabbed the other's hand to pull them up off a cliff. However, the same brigade that will conclude that any person who doesn't chase more tail that 007 must be secretly gay decided this was proof that Luke was gay all along.
Disney's AI chatbot has decided that story proves Luke is gay and overrides everything else so Luke's gay now and always has been. Wookiepedia followed suit and added Luke to their ever-growing list of LGBTQ+ Star Wars characters.

In the end, it's just one more entry into Disney's growing collection of incredibly bad SW fan-fiction.
And like a lot of fan-fiction, it's written by woke internet activists eager to push their agenda, while devoid of the talent required to produce something decent. (Granted, as with fan-fiction, there are also good works; but you do have to sift through a lot of shit to find them!)

I suspect the intent is quite strongly to make Luke gay but they want to take a boiling-the-frog approach. This story was pretty milquetoast but also marketed to kids age 9-12, and the next one will be less subtle, the one after that blatant, and in four or five years the teen demographic that's Star Wars bread and butter have grown up with Luke always having been gay, just look at Wookiepedia.

Yeah..
Honestly, while I know the Prequels get flak and could've been "written better", I still give them props for more creativity, character development, and artistic design than what Disney coughed up. For one, the GAR and Droid Army — which, in hindsight, were definitely welcome additions to SW — were much more original than the First Order as "Imperial ISIS!", down to Kylo Ren as Imitation Vader and Starkiller Base basically being a more monstrous Death Star.
The actual characters were cooler, too, as while I'm aware Anakin was characterized "oddly", at least he had some development that Rey didn't get — not to mention how we got expansions on old favorites (Obi-Kenobi and Old Man Sheev) and a few badass new ones (Mace Windu). In the Sequels, not so much, and when the Prequels did do diversity (again, Windu), the "diversity cast" played their part well and stood on their own merits — rather than being there for "Representation's sake!" or whatever.
