When is Star Wars going to get something invented from it?

Ok, so now they want a freaking tricorder...cmon...lightsaber already.

However, would be a seriously good idea. Hope they achieve this. Might stop some of the "21st century barbarism" (Insert McCoys voice).

Tricorders and Babel Fish are not Star Wars related..........

A Death Star in orbit would give us something new to look at................

The "Force" has nothing to do with dark matter. The Force is life itself...a living, conscious field of energy which permeates all of existence. That's the canon of the story.

If you knew how easy it was to produce a plasma drive, you'd laugh.
Mankind is not yet ready though. It would be turned to the dark side.
Be patient you must.mmm
