    None of those technologies have anything to do with skin. Well, ok, the replacement limbs do, and showed that they can produce artificial skin that even includes the sensation of touch. But what moisture farmers have time to book an appointment on a medical ship when it happens to be in the area (or a quick light jump away)? Oh right, abundance of droids that could be doing whatever labour is involved on a moisture farm (carry the daily bottle of water to the fridge? What is their output even like?).

    The next star wars should be about a trade deal between Tatooine and some ocean planet to exchange some water for some sand and moisture farmers hiring some force using mercenaries (let’s explore one of the other cults of the force instead of just the Sith and Jedi again). It would be interesting if the whole thing was written to make everyone morally ambiguous, like a lot of chaotic goods, true neutrals, and lawful bads so that at the end of it, there’s a debate about whether the outcome was a good one. That’s a lot better than debate about what the dumbest parts were.

      I want Nip/Tuck Tatooine.

      Maybe moisture farming is really easy. Maybe Luke spent like three hours a day moisture farming and the rest of the time bullseyeing womp rats in his T16. That’s probably why he’s such a good pilot.

      There’s a strong argument that the entire Galactic Empire is Lawful Evil as an entity.

      Sure, the individuals within it may vary widely, but overall it’s LE.
