dreamwarsWelcome to this week’s chat corner!
Optional prompt
The prompt for this week is “science and technology” - whatever you would like to include under it. Intrigued that GFFA seems to have both anti-gravity technology and combustion engines? What the heck is a “comm frequency” and how come it exists alongside a “holonet”? And how exactly does bacta immersion heal internal injuries?

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.
