Thread: Which of these technologies would be the HARDEST for a scientist in SW to create?

  1. #1

    Which of these technologies would be the HARDEST for a scientist in SW to create?

    This Wiki page I've been editing for months with stuff I've read on the internet. Based on existing science and tech already available in Star Wars, which of these would be challenging for a scientist in Star Wars to create? Try to explain why and you can pick multiple entries. Remember, Star Wars is more advanced then the movies often show.

    You've been asking this question in different words for a while now. I know that you're looking for input, but please; help us out. You're partial to FFG I get that, but at this point it just seems like you're mining us and not wanting to actually engage with us. We're always happy to help, but my goodness, show us some consideration.

    I provided a list. It’s a Wiki Page I’ve been working on for weeks. I just need someone to read it and pick. That’s all.

    Can you clean up the list first? Like, artificial gravity and Brain in a Jar are already there in Star Wars. A Dyson Sphere isn't really a stretch given the Death Star II.

    This is the page for the official Wikipedia. I can’t alter it. I have to follow the rules of the wiki. Just ignore the stuff that already exists.

    Oh Dyson sphere or the exact same concept appeared in SWTOR. The Iokath system

    The most difficult would be the universal snakebite antivenom.

    This is because snake venoms function in different ways depending on the snake, and the approach which cancels one will almost instantly kill a patient if bitten by another. Then you also have to take the genetics of the hundreds of races in the Star Wars galaxy into account, with each one potentially reacting differently to any sort of chemical or organic substance.

    Simply put: Can't be done. This is the hardest.

    The boring answer here is probably nanites that can somehow analyze pathogens and manufacture organic molecules to respond in appropriate measure. That being said, Star Wars has always been pretty shit at medical answers other than “stick patient in goo until better”

    Yeah nanomedicine was never mentioned in any Star Wars Medium. Nanotech has mostly been in weapons. When they discovered Bacta and Kolto; they probably got lazy and never went the extra step.

    I don't know if farts were even mentioned in any Star Wars medium, either, but I'm willing to wager they exist. =P

    I think as a space opera, it's possible that all or none of these things could be discovered/invented in Star Wars, but we would be unlikely to read about how they actually worked.

    Like it would just be a magical crystal or energy that allowed any one of these things to happen - and I'm okay with that!

    I've always thought of Star Wars as space fantasy. The term space opera brings visions of Bugs Bunny in a space suite riding the back of tauntaun while being serenaded by Darth Fudd. But that's just me.

    What if it were more of a space soap opera? Amazing hair, and really terrible cameras.

    And everyone would have a secret twin with double amnesia!

    Since it’s Star Wars all the sets of good/evil twins would also have clones.
