I'm wondering if Star Wars has any kind of Nano technology?

yes it does, atleast Nanodroids from my recollection.

What type of nano tech are you looking for?

I was thinking of both Healing like in that Sci Fi Jason Friday the 13th and Attack Bots like in The Day the Earth stood still.

If your looking for something lethal look no further than the Sith techo virus. Its a mixture of tech and dark sith force magic. It merges the flesh with mechanical and it is super contageous. The creatures created by this virus look like a mix between the borg and the flood. I dont recall any race being immune to it. The victoms of this virus are known as the Sith techno beast.

The only 'bot' in The Day The Earth Stood Still was Gort. Just saying.

Yeah and he turned into a billion of nano bots..

Gotta admit I don't like too many 'modern' sci-fi things in my SW.

No i-phones, broadband internet, or 'nano' technology for me.

Tech is grimy and prone to malfunction. TIE fighters blow up if you use harsh language against them. Even the DEATH STAR explodes if you mess with the wrong exhaust port.

Technology in star wars is soooo retro. The most advanced technology at the moment come from the Umbaran.

So, yes, exists nano-technology but seems really exotic, at least until the moment. The is an episode from CW that appear nano-technology, but I think that its the only sample.

Tech should be looked at as through the lens of what people thought the future would look like in 1970. So yeah no iphone. But you can get a wrist mounted holocomlink. That is basically a video phone.

There is an internet sort of think in the holonet. but all it does is give you news and cat videos. You can hack it to send the emperor cat videos. but that is about it. You want floor plans for a building? You go to go to that building and slice it's computers to get them.

and sure there is nano tech but people don't call it that. I am sure the doctors medkit is full of it. But nano tech is not how we think of it.

Hahaha, cat videos! Love that. Yes, I see the Holonet as being like the early Internet around 1990 - slow and unreliable at best.

I might allow nanotech as a one-off as some part of a fantastically-advanced ancient civilisation... but I wouldn't want to do that too often.

I would imagine individual planets have planet wide comms. ala the iPhone. (Luke does use a tiny microphone to talk to C3PO on the Death Star) But Nothing across systems beyond the Holonet. Even in The Clone Wars Comms across systems were delayed significantly. (Hours depending on planet seclusion from Coruscant) (edit add)This was a Long time ago...after all. Maybe the inventors of the Hyperdrive found it much more benificial to focus thier scientific advances on Travel and Communication across Star Systems out of necessity rather than developing ever more mundane and time consumeing digital games for thier tiny devices. (How many Slicers spend time playing Compressed Sucrose Destruction or Eliminate the Plasteel Rectangular Objects with the Bouncy Ball, or my personal favorite Sabbac for One on thier data pads)

The good point of SW Universe is that exists millions of world with their own story and technology. Also their own religions.

You can go to a medieval planet or travel to another one that use Stargate portals. Those planets the Empire hasn't arrived yet and probably only pirates and smugglers, so feel free to found things like that on your own games

I don't know what the hell movie you saw, but Gort stood there, zapped a couple of military guards and healed Michael Rennie.

Gotta admit I don't like too many 'modern' sci-fi things in my SW.

You would think that a Swiss Army Knife like R2 would have some kind of wireless technology instead of having to plug in over a wired connection. Perhaps the Empire has some badass firewalls?

The Government boxes Gort up and brings him to a uinderground base.. As they are examining him he breaks up into a Billion maybe trillion nano bots that create a nano cloud of bots that replicate as they tear apart all matter around them. How could you miss that part? ARe we talking about the same movie? I'm talking about the one witj Keanu Reeves.

Perhaps the 1950's release before nanotech was even a gleam in someones eye. The one with Keanu Reeves changed things dramatically.

I'm wondering if Star Wars has any kind of Nano technology?

Of course. It has to. Nano technology is just "more technology". Dealing with the "really really small" has its own set of challenges, but eventually we figure them out and it all merges into the broader pool of knowledge and we don't talk about it like it's separate anymore. We don't talk about the "atomic age" anymore for the same reason...it was new in the 50s, but now it's commonplace.

That remake was an atrocity.

A good example of why you should never remake classic sci-fi. Leave it in the age it was concieved.

Unfortunately and for the worse.

They did a remake? PHOOEY! You kids and your remakes! I'm talking about the good one from the 50's:

You know, the "Michael Rennie was ill the day the Earth stood still, but he told us where we stand. . . " one.

Oh I am sure they have nanotech. It is likely how a lot of the medical miracles they have work. But I don't see there being liquid metal robots or other things of that sort. I am sure they use nano tech to build things to be stronger by arranging the atoms precisely. But as I said it is not the way we think of a lot of nanotech and it definitely is not called nanotech.

I see the Holonet as "what the internet would have been, if the internet had been picked up by Pacific Bell (hub and spoke architecture) rather than being left for the military and beatnics to pick up. (an odd pairing, but the military wanted an architecture that couldnt be taken out in a single nuke, and the hippies wanted "computing power for the people." so both wanted our modern, peer to peer dispersed architecture.)

The Pacific Bell hypothetical internet would have been ridiculusly easy to censor- whoever controls the hub, (that is, the Empire) can do "man in the middle" attacks on EVERYONE.

And what is on our internet is not what would be on the holonet.

No space Amazon??

Holonet always seemed me like a big information network, not a place where you would have e-commerce.
