I was asking for ideas on what a scientist could be working on in the Star Wars galaxy. However my list of can nots are more akin to what an engineer would be working on. Then I guess that’s what I really meant. So that being said I ask. What can an engineer in the Star Wars galaxy be working on?. He works for the canon New Republic. Things he can’t be working on 1.) Dyson sphere- Believe it or not it already exists in SWTOR 2.) Matrioksha Brain- Computers aren’t that advanced. (HOWEVER, if you have a genetic Star Wars name for this- I will take it. Matrioksha is Russian nesting dolls and would obviously not be applicable for Star Wars 3.) A Giant Underground City- Sullust has tons of these. 4.) Kransnikov Tube- Would be too much of a gamechanger for travel 5.) Ford-Svaitar mirror- Too much of a gamechanger for travel 6.) Nicoll-Dyson Laser- We already have the Death Star and Starkiller Base 7.) Space elevator- They have those 8.) Shellworld- Waste of time. Plenty of planets to work with 9) Alderton Disk- Too big 10.) Ringworld- Exists on Ringo Vinda 11.) Underwater cities- Plenty of those 12.) Any type of space habitat. Any ideas?
Admiral Akbar's home world is Mon Calamari, which comes from Greek/Latin origins meaning "my pen case," or "my inkpot." ETA: A lot of Star Wars Words have real world origins. For example Vader is Dutch for "father," and Han Solo's last name is from an ancient Alluetian word for "picaresque." (not really) If you feel matrioshka is too recognizable, then you could always name them after Vasily Zvyozdochkin, the man who first created the dolls after which the Dyson computer swarm was named.
I’m thinking of having a bodily fluid from some Star Wars creature be capable of doing something like increase lifespan or improve sexual potency. What bodily fluid and creature could be used medicinally and what can it do?
An efficient water synthesizer for arid planets like Tatooine, so they can become agriculturally productive. Certainly solar energy is plentiful.
bars for the exhaust ports on the new death star... third time round they might think about putting something in front of it to blow the proton torpedoes early
I’m trying to write a story about a scientist in the Star Wars galaxy who is working in the University of Coruscant of the Disney canon New Republic. For his work, he wins the Star Wars equivalent of the Nobel Prize in Physics (but in the story it could be something in the fields of physics, chemistry or biology). What could he have done to win this prize? Science heavy ideas obviously encouraged. The year is 24 ABY.
