"HMMMMMMMMMMMM?!"
In a galaxy far far away, sir.

Which could make you wonder what sort of technology that galaxy now has, although if KoToR is any indication, it seems that the civilisation has hit a plateau with almost no new advancements for at least a few thousand years.

Talk about falling at the first hurdle ...
The scientific credibility of the Star Wars 'canon', which can never have been especially high, gets eroded with everything that gets added to it. With that said, I think one of the things that fans loved about it, consciously or otherwise, was that for its time it was the most penetrating conjecture as to what we would turn life among the stars into. Ships, ports, bigger ships, space stations, fighters ... and beliveably done. What has been described as a 'used' future, as opposed to the pristine, sparkly, fantasy world that had been on offer up until then. Sigh.
OK, before I get blasted any further, I was joking (hence, the Yoda pic. I mean, how could you take that pic serious?). 
EDIT: And B-B-Bomba!, they do talk about that in the SW Documentary -- a more believable future that isn't so..."fluffed up". A great point though about the series in general.
