  • Star Wars is a nice movie but it’s a pretty mediocre SF. They mix very low and very high technology in mostly absurd ways. You have FTL and lasers but robots are mostly shit, AI is very basic and its use weirdly limited, warfare looks pretty much like today, only in space. I know they did it like this because of cinematography but as a SF it’s just not that good. So I really wouldn’t bother trying to rationalize the tech. It’s mostly like this because “it looked nice”.



    1. You can disable download in a lemmy instance. My instance doesn’t have downvotes.

    2. What opinions do you see expressed on SO? Maybe we’re searching for different things there but all I see are answers that are either correct or not. If someone misunderstood the questions and the answers is not correct it gets downvoted. But I don’t know, maybe others use SO for things like “what’s your favorite distro?” or “Is AWS better then Azure?”.
