How is 3 useless? If you want to do a profession or skillful activity you just need to warm up a bit and you’ll excel. You can write amazing stories, be a 5 star chef, learn any language and make option 1 redundant, you can do anything a single person can accomplish.
I’d say 3&4 are the prime combo. Succeed at whatever you want to do and be in perfect health the whole time
Sounds like you think dune was pretty unscientific for not describing the chemical makeup of spice. Still a science fiction story. You don’t have to spell out every detail of a tech for it to be scientific in a fictional story. You seem to understand this in bringing up dune even.
What medieval fantasy world has world war 2 styled flying combat? I think your read is way off base. It’s science fantasy, a blend of common fantasy and sci fi. There are attempts to give scientific explanations to concepts that aren’t magical like FTL and there are mystical explanations given for things that are magical like the force.
Bottom line is that even fantasy needs some grounding or the story becomes uninteresting and hard to follow. It’s a space fantasy but that doesn’t mean technology is absent from the world.
Btw the explanation I gave for FTL is what was said if it in the original trilogy so don’t act like it’s not firmly established.
FTL is achieved by using manufactured engines to propel a ship faster than the speed of light.
Hyper lanes are created by doing an FTL jump and not running into any hazards, designating the path you just took as a hyper lane.
Kyber crystals seem to be an intersection between technology and magic from my research though so you’re half right here. The crystals are naturally forming conduits that channel magic force energy and vibrate to generate the blade of the weapon.
All of these things were researched in the last 5 minutes. You could’ve known this stuff yourself if you actually felt like looking it up.
Everything but the force is explained in similar ways to any other sci-fi tech. And the force isn’t tech, it’s space magic. Just because it’s not an explanation we can use in real life doesn’t mean it’s not being presented as part of the natural world of that reality.
The technology isn’t presented as magical so yes. Just because people can move objects with their mind doesn’t mean gravity doesn’t exist.
Suspension of disbelief only works if it feels like you’re trying to make the system consistent. If you start doing whatever you want because the story isn’t entirely based on our reality then it becomes an uninteresting story
Just so you know, India is the largest contributor of undernourished people in the world so that fact might complicate the position you’re advocating.
