So in a world with blasters, light sabers, light speed travel, huge ass space ships, Death Stars.... Flamethrowers still have a place on the battlefield
Blasters, etc. and the whole galaxy are just Lucas' ripping off Asimov. Asimov created the galactic empire and blasters etc. It is safe to assume Lucas merely stumbled upon their reference and used it without any clue as to how it works. Lucas was more about characters and story line, not about hard scifi tech and he assumed that Asimov had it all figured out (my guess).
These movies, books etc. are just dramatized documentaries of what really happened. Sometimes even documentaries have some stuff wrong, like dramatized battles may have wrong distances or the actors don't operate by proper procedure and doctrines. Doesn't mean the stuff didn't happen as told though.
Alright, so starting out had 12 multiplayer game types, 3 single or coop game modes, 11 guns, 24 cards. A crap ton of options for appearance, most you buy with ingame credits. I think these all take place on 4 planets, but I haven't looked that far. Just saying, a bit more content than I thought.
That is because unless you're metal-oxide-based life form. But even then if the flames are hot enough they'll kill you. Just, you would likely require a temperature that would be lethal to carbon-based life to stop you from freezing but you'd still die from too much heat also.
I always scratch my head when fans try to justify the "science" in star wars. It is obvious to me Lucas never really put much thought into it. I guess I just like my hard science fiction more than some people. Bounty Hunters > Space Wizards every time in my book. My favorite thing about the Star Wars fiction is the ethical quagmire that is the Mandalorians and (by extension) the treatment of clone troopers. Too bad a lot of that is tecnically not canon anymore.
Star Wars is fantasy in space with wizards, heroes and magic, no doubt about that. It never goes into technicalities but it sticks to action and story and it does that really well. He just needed to use something for the setting and props. Vice versa having a really well researched hard scifi universe does not a great story make. They're somewhat separate entities. Because Star Wars never really tries to go too much into technicalities it's flaws at science do not really eat away from the story. I was just watching them and it's mostly "we go with a ship" "it's a powerful weapon" instead of saying "it shoots gravitons" or "this has three gigawatts of output". Little things like parsecs as time and windtraps powering a planetary barrier shield, meh. They just got something wrong and maybe windtraps are actually cooling for a powerful generator below or something. Not that I wouldn't be delighted if they got all of that stuff right but realistically almost no one does.
