The Jedi, being mystic twits, probably fully intended to stagnate the Republic's technology. The Empire could be useing innovations long suppressed by the Jedi. In fact, the emergence of long forbiden technologies and sciences could be a major plot point in a STAR WARS campaign. The Empire could unleash a wild card it didn't fully understand. Psi Powers for all, anyone?

Re: Average Star Wars TL
If the blaster uses an energy beam, or is a mixture of energy and mass, getting grazed by a blast would be like having a nasty electrical shock. The Princess' clothing might have been scorched, but the lady herself could be simply incapassitated for a while.

My main reason for keeping personal tech (read: what the PCs can get ahold of and use) lower would be to keep the gritty feel of the original triology; perhaps if I was running an Old Republic campaign (*gag*) I might use TL11 overall.

There doesn't really seem to be a difference between "shiny new stuff" based on location so much as time period and location. It's just second-hand TL11^ stuff on Tatooine. The fact that TL11^ stuff has diffused into the second-hand market would indicate to me that it was universal.

Re: Average Star Wars TL
Does everybody have the stun setting, or just a certain squad of stormtroopers on the Tantive IV trying to take prisoners? I'd have to say that in the movies, the blasters don't seem that multifuctional. Plain old blasters could be as low as TL9 (3e) I believe.
Or, for that matter, were those stormtroopers armed with stunners specifically, based on their mission parameters.

In the current edition Star Wars clocks in at a consistent TL 11^, apart from all the magic pixie dust (nanotechnology) applications being omitted, and a lack of radical genetic engineering. I get the distinct impression that genetic engineering is in fact suppressed in the Republic since the genetically tweaked clone troopers came from a world that was not within Republic space. |
