Rogue Squadron books, Thrawn Trilogy, KOTOR, etc. My issue isn't that light speed ramming is universe breaking. I'm not a physicist and those types of details don't really bother me too much as I don't think I'm as well-versed in the science of Star Wars as others. My issue is simply that in thousands of years, it seems like they've operated with the exact same technology and it hasn't progressed. I wouldn't call the ram a "progression", just an unexpected variation of existing technology. My issue is just highlighted by the fact that someone is using this extremely old technology for such a new purpose, and yet thousands of years ago this technology already existed. So I question how this technology hasn't been improved upon in any way. And it's not just the lightspeed travel, but the form of technology that allows one to communicate or the aesthetics within ship never changing, or the blasters remaining virtually unchanged, etc. I'm probably not explaining this articulately enough to make enough sense. It was just a little detail that sent me down a rabbit hole. --- "Reading would be your friend." ~Dave Meltzer ... Copied to Clipboard! |
