Oh really...? http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/5/5b/Hylo-TORSV.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100325234653 Comparing this game to reality and our world is just not sound.

SteveTheCynic Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Comparing this game to reality and our world is just not sound. No, it's not sound. But the rate stuff changes in the SW universe is just ridiculously slow. When it's 1977, and you sit in the cinema watching Obi-wan telling Luke that the Jedi were the defenders of the Republic for "a thousand generations", you think he's just being hyperbolic, that he just means "for a long time" - that's more than three times the length of human history if you interpret it literally. And later you read up a bit and you come to realise that he was speaking the literal truth. Twenty-five thousand years. And here we are in SWTOR, almost three and a half thousand years before that conversation, and everything looks more or less the same. Jawa sandcrawlers look like Jawa sandcrawlers in ANH. People wear clothes that look the same as clothes three thousand plus years in the future. Computers are just as stupidly easy to hack into as they are three thousand years in the future. Light sabres are light sabres, and blasters are blasters. NOTHING HAS NOTICEABLY CHANGED except that protocol droids in ANH no longer have that weird ring round their heads. And to all those who pipe up about dark ages causing technological regression, listen up. On our world, overall, technology advanced during the European Dark Age. Sure, we forgot how to make concrete (the Romans knew how, the post-Roman Europeans didn't), but we advanced a bunch of other stuff, invented corporations, patents, and a wide variety of other modern-looking stuff. A thousand years of the Middle Ages (roughly 450 to 1450 AD) left Europe looking nothing like it had before. And now, we already have computers which are harder to casually break into than anything I've ever seen in anything Star Wars, so the "at the limits of how technology can be advanced" argument doesn't apply either.
