They've got waves and curves and gaps in the middle and ridiculous ornate grips and crossguards, and helmets have silly horns and bits sticking off them and armour has spikes and giant pauldrons and. The swords don't look like a sword, do they? They're not a long simple blade. Now think about a lot of very soft and fantastical sword-and-sorcery fantasy especially from the same era and earlier, and think about the magic, and think about, well, the swords. It's very much a fantasy story and a fantastical world where nothing much is really explained (let's keep it to just the movies here, okay) and there's a lot of technobabble thrown around and a lot of show-don't-tell fancy tech. well, a bit fancy, and zany, and the technobabble's a bit dramatic, and the weapons and objects are all a bit more complex and weird than maybe they need to be.

So it seems to me one of the things you're picking up on is that stuff is. technology levels? I don't even think that's it. I guess I just want to hear peoples thoughts on. This is a nonsensical string of sentences, but if you can glean anything from this and want to tell me I'm stupid, I'll listen. Okay, I'm not sure what my conclusion is. Like, why does it have to be some fancy space-sword? Why can't it be just a knife? But if you do want to give it that futuristic appeal, are you sacrificing common sense for that? effective? Compelling? For a setting to just leave the technobabble at the door. okay, so in Star Wars if you want a sword but you're not a Jedi, you pick up a "Vibroblade" instead - ignoring how silly that is in a world where 95% of the people seem to be packing laser guns, it's never just a "sword" either. what do you make of that? That sort of approach? That what is fantastical for us is like, super mundane for them. And that's cool and alien, but I guess what I'm wondering is. Everything that is on wheels, floats instead in the Star Wars universe. Sure there's the occasional vehicle with treads or two giant wheels, but you never see anything resembling a conventional car or even things like push-carts or whatever. So in the galaxy of Star Wars wheels seem to be a very foreign concept. It's "futuristic" but also at the same time very lived in and in some respects primitive. Anyway, so the world of Star Wars is very different from ours, particularly the technology.

Currently watching the Clone Wars TV series, it's great. so my biggest fictional world crush is Star Wars. I guess I should start with where this question is coming from.

This is more of a discussion point for space-opera/soft science fiction worlds, but feel free to pitch in on any genre. Not really 100% sure on what it is I want to ask or hear, this will probably be super rambley, so pre-emptive apology. Holiday shopping looks like it will be a little more normal this year, but pandemic supply chain issues aren't quite over, so it can't hurt to shop early.įor more shopping ideas, check out Amazon's own list of top toys and the best STEM toys.This isn't me asking for which to go for, but I guess I just want to start a discussion on this topic.
