What can a scientist in my Star Wars fan fic be researching or 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.
