The "Star Wars" galaxy contains the main galaxy and a smaller satellite galaxy (see the map in AOTC), so I suppose it's possible that there are other galaxies at relatively close distances.
Not to mention this hyperspace lane is not charted so there not going to send ships out to the middle of nowhere. Now in case of Palpatine, He was afraid that the Outbound Flight Project would succed and the Jedi would be able to set up a base out in the middle of nowhere and Palpy wouldnt be able to get to. So he had it taken through the Unknown regions and done away with by the Chiss.
So theres 2 problems, politcal and health = no intergalactic travel

What? Where did you get that from?
I know that it took them a long time, but I'm sure that they used some form of hyperspace travel (using their Dovin Bassals to catapult them into FTL speeds.)
