  • What could a scientist in my Star Wars fan fic be working on?

    I’m trying to write a Star Wars story about a scientist who is working on something in the era of the New Republic. He does not believe in the Force. I just need something for him to be researching. It really isn’t that important to the story; it just has to sound cool and scientific.It can NOT be game-changing or something that can alter the story in a dramatic way. Also it can’t already have been done in Legends or Canon. I want a fresh idea.

    It cannot be

    - A time machine

    -A teleporter

    -A matter replicator

    -A singularity Weapon

    - Any type of droid

    -Anything to do with holograms

    -A food synthesizer

    - Anything to do with the Force or Midi-chlorians

    - A shrink ray

    -A freeze ray

    -pico and femtotechnology

    -A Dyson sphere or any type of megastructure.

    -Liquid metal armor or a nano morph

    -Any improvements on the hyperdrive

    -Limb regeneration

    -Hyperspace nullifier

    -Holodeck

    - Knowledge Transfer (Instant learning like in the Matrix)

    -Philosophers Stone

    -Kinetic weapons

    -Solar sail

    -Anything to do with kyber crystals

    -Gene editing

    -Mech suit

    -Exosuit

    -Gender change



    In canon, during the Empire, scientists were researching methods to control droids, lasers that can punch through deflector shields and ship scale disintigrators. These ideas are therefore taken.

        How about the social impact of disappearing posts?
        Seriously, what happened? Did a Hypergalactic Spam Generator Malfunction and eat them all?

          Time warp! Just the time it took to get the database transferred to the new server and things functioning again.

                    Hmm, the first 5 or 6 things I came up with are all on your prohibited list.

                    How about a method of synthesizing cheap and plentiful dilithium crystals? [Edit: Sorry, that's Star Trek...]
                    Or perhaps the robotic harvesting of "star stuff" as it's ejected from a sun?

                      Carbon fiber space ship hulls.

                        How about droids without souls so their entire economy isn't predicated on slavery and torture?

                          Depends on the time of your story...
                          I like the idea of following the development TIE Fighter and derivatives. The Assault Gunboat has never been featured in film AFAIK. Perhaps follow the dev path of a fighter. TIE Advanced maybe.

                            It seems that Star Wars militaries never invented the fusion bomb.

                              That second one was from a Stargate series.
