Question: If, in hyperspace, you can zip across this particular galaxy in a matter of days, and the Republic’s had hyperdrive tech for at least several centuries, how are there still “unknown regions”?

because of Relativity.

I believe that’s a false assumption, that you can just “zip across…in a matter of days”. It took them days (?) to go from tatooine to alderan.
point of note: I can’t find any recognizable planets on this.

Because George Lucas is a hack and nothing in Star Wars makes any sense if you think about it for more than two seconds.

They have to plot around gravity masses, stars/planets/blackholes. The Hyperspace lanes are just areas devoid enough for safer travel. Now it says unknown but it’s a misnomer as some of it was once known but years and Sith Wars lead to knowledge being lost and people paying to have systems “lost” from the mapping archives.
You hit a hyperspace lane it’s clear and fast sailing, you go where you have no clue or maps and your odds are crappy. At least if I’m recalling anywhere near correctly.

There’s a hyperspace disturbance.
