• Technology in Star Wars
• What fictional technology do you think would make the most immediate impact on your life? How would you integrate it into your own work?
  • Anti-gravity, repulsors (floating stuff)
    • Vehicles are the obvious cool application
    • Manufacturing?
      • I worked in a foundry
      • The heat from the hot iron and the refractory sand constantly wore down the bearings in the conveyor system
      • If things could just float it would be amazing
  • Droids
    • How does anyone actually program these?
    • In The Mandalorian it seemed like it wasn’t a simple task to reprogram IG-11
    • Anakin “built” C3PO but did he really build it or assemble it?
    • In the series they say to “wipe the protocol droid’s memory” it seems like whatever the tech is it is easy to wipe memory but not easy to change programming
  • Hyperspace
    • Outside of exploration and colonization would this really make an immediate difference in day to day life
  • Power Density
