    So I’m going to have him research asteroids. What could be different or unusual about the asteroids that he can be studying?

    A giant worm living inside one?

    I’m thinking about doing something related to Hyperspace. What science can my scientist study about Hyperspace before he’s called away to deal with the supermassive black hole?

    A black hole has intruded into hyperspace, which doesn't normally happen.

    According to Legends, there are actual civilizations living in Hyperspace.

    I would also like him to be studying something long term.

    No. They have protocol droids for that


    I’m looking for something that hasn’t been done yet.

    I’m making one last round on all the forums I posted on. I’m looking for something highly advanced.

    A way to turn off that heavy-breathing sound from Darth Vader's helmet.
    Seriously, it's turning off the babes something fierce.
    Poor Darth hasn't gotten any action in a decade.

    Given what happened to him, I doubt he has much left going on downstairs anyway. Which would definitely go a ways to explaining why he's so pent up and angry all the time. Maybe your scientist could be working on some advanced robo-penis enhancements.

    Even just a cuddle would be better than nothing.

    And just in case anyone thinks this is ridiculous, think of the billions of dollars that are spent on research into "personal hygiene" products like deodorant and breath mints ... real science, that makes a real difference in the real lives of real people. Really.

    Wow, what a question. A cure for an illness or something to do with global warming?

    Look at the problems we are facing now. If your story is set in the future try and predict what could be a problem.

    Ok my scientist is studying sub-Hyperspace, the dimension in which quintessence can be turned into Phantom Energy and then travel to destroy star systems in real time. This is how Starkiller Base fires it’s weapon after draining a sun. (I’m sure Disney will explore it more in due time). However, in the mean time; I wonder what other things my scientist can study about it. Applications I’ve considered would be a sub-hyperdrive which would allow for instantaneous travel like Star Trek: Discovery’s Spore Drive. It also could be used for instant communications. Good stuff but too much of a gamechanger to tinker with. What else could my scientist be studying about sub-hyperspace?

    I’m going about this all wrong. I need an advanced but totally BORING detail intensive thing for my scientist to be studying. I WANT to start my story and this detail is unimportant. Does anyone have some science gooblegook that sounds coherent that I can use?

    Hyperspatial deep quantum neural network decoherence as an attack vector for blockchain-based crypto-currencies.

    How about a stormtrooper that can actually hit something.

    Or a spaceship that doesn't need to resort to WWII methods of combat.

    Or a land assault vehicle that doesn't use walking as its primary means of conveyance and won't trip over roots and wires and things.

    Or a Deathstar that can actually defend itself.

    Shit, this thing writes itself, huh?

    Dropping bombs in space in slow moving ships that have never been seen in the franchise before. I had a real laugh when I saw that.

    I’m thinking of doing something with bacta. What can scientists do to improve bacta?

    What's Bacta?
    At my school you either did Science or Communication Skills. I took communication skills. In other words I chatted instead of listened. It's a common problem in teens I was repeatedly told.
    You could do something with String Theory or spacecraft design. That would be interesting and fun. Seeing how a spacecraft is designed and built. Make it 5 star and I'm in!

    Ewok repellent. It indirectly cost the Emperor his life.
    For want of a horse shoe nail . . .

    I really like Purgills. I think my scientist wants to study its brains. I’m making him a xenoneurologist. What about a Purgills brain can help it jump to Hyperspace and move Faster than light? I assume it’s brain is like an organic navicomputer.
