You can have old, broken, and worn technology that is new to us. No problem. I saw nothing original, did you?

[a_potato]

No, but I think it can be okay the tech mostly the same. The message is that something has kept the galaxy from advancing beyond the point established in the original trilogy (maybe it's the war, maybe it's entropy, maybe it's that there hasn't been any pressure for people to change/improve the tech that we see).

We are introduced to some new social and cultural facets of the world, however, in the form of Rey's and Finn's backstories. Why does it have to be the tech that's new?

OP

I'm wondering what could keep an entire galaxy of peoples/species from developing improved technology after the victory of The Return of the Jedi.

Anyway, sorry. I don't mean to be argumentative. For me, keeping things looking the same seemed dissonant after so many years and disappointing for the lack of imagination. But I realize opinions differ.

[analise]

Sure, it was a victory but killing the Emperor doesn't actually dismantle the Empire overnight. Doesn't mean that the New Republic just sets up shop in the Empire's place and starts engineers to working on new machines (and consider that for the previous couple of decades, likely the galaxy's smartest engineering and technical minds were working on building superweapons so....)

In fact, it's floating around somewhere in the new canon that several more battles were fought after Endor before the New Republic and the Empire came to a truce. That last battle was actually fought over Jakku and is why all those ships are crashed there. (it's actually kind of annoying to me that like...none of this was directly alluded to in the movie and we have to find out from EU stuff. I mean, I'm a fan that loves digging up worldbuilding shit like this but I do wonder where it leaves the more casual fan)

DA

Even in the "Old EU" there wasn't a great deal of advancement in the next twenty years after ROtJ. The remnants of the Empire did come up with some new variations of the TIE fighter. The super weapons were still mostly take offs of the Death Star (one looked like a light saber even.) Mostly because the companies that make the space ships, KUAT drive yards, INCOM technologies are super corporations with monopolies on ship building. And it was five to seven years after the battle of Endor before Coruscant was taken and the Empire was forced into hiding and that was the OLD EU. So the war was still on going 20 years later between Imperial Generals that styled themselves as warlords creating their own sectors and the remnants of those who WANTED Imperial rule.

I haven't even looked at the new EU. It is turning into a headache.

OP

I honestly, seriously cannot believe you are blaming JJ Abrams' lack of imagination on the Dark Side.

I'm over here completely boggled.

Okay.

[analise]

I...what?

they're either trolling or dumb as a brick, this whole thread was headache-inducing
