Blackmoor Vituperative

I have been doing a lot of reading about the technology in Star Wars in preparation to run a space fantasy game heavily inspired by that movie (and, to a much lesser extent, the debased version later released by Lucasfilm, and its five sequels). I have run across an amazing amount of material. The two most technical web sites I’ve discovered so far:

Star Wars vs. Star Trek
Star Wars Technical Commentaries

The funny thing is, even though I want to know as much as possible about the theoretical technological underpinnings of the Star Wars setting, I fully intend to ignore as much of it as a I like. My Dark Empire game, like Star Wars itself, is space fantasy. The poetry of science will only be used to lend verisimilitude to the setting. I’ll toss real science aside the moment it becomes inconvenient.
