What about the Jedi how will they evolve? I had an Interesting theory not too long ago. It's about the whole Balance of the force concept brought up in the prequels, what I think it may mean is that there will be no more factioning of the force. There will be no darkside and Light side just the force. And perhaps when that happens the jedi could evolve beyond what they are. Just a theory.

Actually it diminishes one's attachment to the Force. Thus, when Anakin's arm was severed in AotC, he was literally becoming less human. This is a common theme in SW. See the thread in Pure Star Wars (I think it was entitled "Severed Limb"). I talk about the symbollic meaning of the severed appendages, and how they relate to the saga as a whole.

Nice Captain Murphy quote Mr. Bean but you forgot the part about being an Adrian Barbobot or being 5 ft tall.

The cool thing would be if the Star Wars universe turned into the 4th Empire (From David Webers series, I don't think it has a series name). If they have that much time I would love to see the entire Star Trek universe (minus the Q continuem and all other super-beings) take on just one of those ships.

I think Star Wars is far from the limits of technological development, I think they will make some progress but I don't see anything revolutionary being developed in the SW universe any time soon. Everything will simply be slowly refined and improved a little bit at a time. The turbolasers of a 100 years from ROTJ won't be much more powerful than the ones in ROTJ but in 1000 years they will be noticeably so. If one counts the Expanded Universe as being Star Wars, then that seems to be how they've developed. Incremental progress, but progress still.

Assuming they suffer no set backs like dark ages SW races will easily be the equals of the various Sci-Fi ancients by the time they reach the 24th century simply just because of the possible time involved.

The Glactic Republic probably represents the best possible human government, the fact it lasted so long shows it was very good, though not perfects since there is nothing perfect.

There will be no darkside and Light side just the force. And perhaps when that happens the jedi could evolve beyond what they are. Just a theory.

That would actually be a technological regression in some cases (Hyper drive, AI, overall size) but only in a few (Deathstar sized Stardistroyers anyone :twisted: ).

Heh already have those Fan-Made Creation only so far but roughly 1/3 the size of the Death Star- Imperious Class mounts a SuperLaser 2/3 as powerful as the DS one meaning it can blow up a planet just like the DS can, but its debre field won't fling so far so fast

Class Profile: Imperious - Class Command Ship

Notes: The massive "Ultra" Star Destroyers eclipse even the largest command ships in the Imperial Navy. Clocking in at an enormous length of 24 kilometres, these massive Star Destroyers boast more firepower than a half-dozen of their smaller, Imperator-class bretheren, and over twice the firepower of the Executor-Class. Most fearsome, though, is the addition of a Superlaser device running down the centreline of the vessel; this weapon is approximately two-thirds as potent as the one aboard the original Death Star and is more than capable of cracking a planet in two with a single shot.
These Star Destroyers boast enough sheer tonnage such that they can engage entire enemy fleets on their own. The armor and shielding on these Star Destroyers is all but impenetrable, rivaled only by planetary shields and Death Stars themselves. These mammoth vessels are the centers of command for entire Regional Armadas, and so far only four have been constructed, although two additional keels have been laid at Kuat Drive Yards.

No, that would be the New Republic Military Dictatorship Peacekeeper class command ship.

Not to chide you, Cappie, but this Ultra SD sounds rather weak aside
from its massive superlaser. Whoever made it up decided it was only
equal to six Imperators?

Shoot...I figure the Executor is equal to at least a dozen ISD-IIs
in combat. Some of the EU establishes that a SSD is far more powerful than that.

Your missing the Diffrence, Dispite the SSD only having 120 or so more Cannons than the ISD its still five or so times more powerful yes?

Well the Imperious has 6X50=300+ Cannons on Board, Numbers does not always count

Like if by Scalling those ISD Guns are 10 Teratons, The SSD is 15 Teratons

What is the Imperious is mounting 50 Teraton main guns?

Would that not make it a bunch more powerful?

See what he means by that

Yep the ship is that big it probably supports guns significantly larger and more powerful than those on the ISD or executor class.
It's a nice ship don't ya think?

I think what you need to make QC armor is very rare, and IMO, it akin to saying "Gold will be cheaper in the future". But that's what I think. Theyt coudl, however, find a cheaper alternative to QC armor.

Mmmm.... saying that gold will be common is kind of unrealistic because it is an element. On the other hand, QC armor is a manufactured piece. I don't think it will be exactly COMMON, even in the very distant SW future, but I also don't think it will be as rare and expensive as it is during the few decades following RotJ. Further, it really doesn't seem like it is all that difficult to make, considering that Lando was able to get his hands on a considerable quantity of it. Perhaps in the future it will be cheap enough to have some vital components and areas of expensive and high-end capital ships protected by it, but I don't really think that it will eventually be used in everyday living.

But Gold is cheaper in the future, infact, Yahoo-delinked the story but Scientists have succesfuly manfuacture gold now out of Raw Protons and Electrons, They managed to turn Lead into Gold Literly at Columbia though just very small amounts right now


Besides Quantum Armor is not rare if LANDO can get ahold of it :P
