I don't think I've read the first one, but I suspect it might be built on the bathtub bacta meta from Tumblr. Which is very cool, ngl.
The second is definitely one part of The Desert Storm, although I don't remember which one.
"vastly different levels of tech co-existing" --- oh yeah, that's very Star Wars! You have holograms, but also completely manual flight controls, and those weird projection boards, and droids, and those funky microphones from TBOBF...
I gotta say, I absolutely adore the "old machinery" aesthetic that Star Wars has going on. It's just so pretty.
the maglev train --- ahhh, the repulsorlift system. XD It's handwaved as antigravity, but I just think about it as a magic system, tbh. Things go up, and stay up; and then you have combustion engines to push things around.
