I couldn’t agree with you more on the fanfic. ESPECIALLY the tech stuff. Tech should only exist in Star Wars to the extent that it gets in the way, like you need an Astrodroid to open doors and check codes and stuff; you can transmit data wirelessly, but it can (and will) be jammed or intercepted; doors never work the way you want, so you have to blast the control panel and hope that the bridge controls weren’t in the same place.

Slicers? Eff off. That’s why we have droids!
