Time travel

Time travel was a form of transportation through time into the pastLost Stars or the future. Although some beings sometimes wished they could travel back in time to change mistakes they made in their lives,Servants of the Empire: The Secret Academy such a thing was still widely thought to be impossible, even during the height of the New Republic."The Crimson Corsair and the Lost Treasure of Count Dooku" A hypothetical device for allowing so was known as a time machine.
Access to the World Between Worlds made time travel possible through many of the doors and pathways to the past, present and future. However, the mystical Force realm's existence was mostly unknown, and only a few Force-users could enter it. In 0 BBY, Jedi Padawan Ezra Bridger entered the World Between Worlds through a portal in the Lothal Jedi Temple and rescued the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano from being killed by Darth Vader during the mission to Malachor, which had occurred three years before, by pulling her through a portal. During their time there, Bridger briefly considered rescuing his master Kanan Jarrus, who had died during the rescue of Hera Syndulla, by pulling him through a portal. However, Tano talked him out of it by pointing out that rescuing Jarrus would mean that all of the other Spectres present, including Bridger, would have died in the explosion of the Imperial gas refinery, causing a paradox. After being attacked by Darth Sidious, Bridger and Tano returned through the same portals they had entered, emerging on Lothal and Malachor respectively, three years apart.
Luke Skywalker, when asked by C-3PO how the latter could help the former, sarcastically suggested that the droid could help by altering time far enough into the future to bypass the harvest season so he could join the Imperial Academy.
