If you want Cheaper Ultra Tech (CUT) for a Star Wars like setting just divide UT prices by 10. Divide ships by 100 if you want but you might also want to change Average Wealth.
Spaceships combat is primarily "realistic" in the damage it allows for kinetic weapons. In settings where superscience means people don't use KE space weapons it's not particularly realistic.
Especially in the book 1 abstract combat system it highly privileges maneuverability and pilot Skill with all ships basically dogfighting.

For what it’s worth, I don’t think ships and tech are actually that cheap in star wars there’s just a really strong secondhand market.
