Re: Average Star Wars TL
IRC, she's shot in the arm. So tight-beam burning would cripple the arm, then blow through, leaving her alive (and the campaign is sufficiently cinematic that bleeding isn't a concern, and medical tech is sufficiently advanced that treatment isn't a problem).

Re: Average Star Wars TL
Most analyses I've seen of that determine she was actually hit by either ricochet or shrapnel from the blaster actually hitting the wall behind her. As for bleeding, I think tight beam burning is supposed to cauterize any wounds.

Re: Average Star Wars TL
The only problem is Luke looked like he'd been run over after his treatment and Leia was showing absolutely no ill effects that night when they had the party. They must've rolled low on the damage.

Re: Average Star Wars TL
I think she just used an unspent character point to note it as a flesh wound.

Re: Average Star Wars TL
He looks pretty beat up the scene immediately after he's rescued, but he's all the way better by the time the Empire arrives in Hoth, a few scenes later. I'm not sure on the timeline, but it seems like it all happens the same day. So the recovery time is about the same. Or take your pick of the "flesh wound" or near miss explanations.

Re: Average Star Wars TL
Just a thought: What if technology has stagnated (and even backslid a little) because in that universe they have hit the limits of technology? Thus, barring some miraculous breakthrough, they have long since realized they *can't* advance their technology.
The effects of this on the society in general might well explain many of the symptoms of decay argued about in this thread. Especially if the top TLs are exponentially more expensive to build and maintain. Limited and very useful things (like droid brains) would be quite common, and if you have the resources of a galactic level fascist state that really wants one ultimate weapon you can build the Death Star - but the average citizen can't afford anything from the top two or even three TLs so they just don't appear in the movies. |

Re: Average Star Wars TL
Well if we look at Owen and Beru, they have a hover car (TL 10^), robots (TL 10-11), and a "vaporator" which apparently pulls water out of the dry desert air, enough to irrigate a farm, probably TL 10 as well. But of course they aren't average citizens. They're poor people living in the Star Wars galactic equivalent of the third world. Their TL 10 stuff is the equivalent of our third worlds TL 6 and 7 stuff. Han Solo, a Comfortable criminal in a short term financial bind has a TL 11 blaster, a TL 10^ entertainment unit, and a TL 11 spaceship.
