[Star Wars] Are Star Wars ships limited to hyperspace lanes?

Looking for Canon sources: but are Star Wars ships only limited to hyperspace lanes? Or is it possible for a ship to travel to another planet without one?

The "average Joe" is stuck with the hyperlanes, and most pros stick to the hyperlanes. They're the best charted and best studied paths around the galaxy, meaning your chance of mishap or misadventures greatly reduced. Unless you're trying to sneak around or terribly strapped for time, the risks of blazing your own trail don't measure up to the rewards.

And then there's this asshole *gestures broadly in Han Solo's direction*. This asshole is a barnstorming maniac perpetually on the outs with every power bloc in the galaxy, and he's willing to risk driving his shit across a black hole's event horizon in the name of dodging the Imps and shaving a few parsecs off his flight itinerary.
