I absolutely love Star Wars - I saw the first movie four times in the theatre back in 1977/78 as a kid.
But let’s be clear: Star Wars is “cowboys and indians in space.” (Yes, that’s a dated and culturally inappropriate comparison - it is also perfectly appropriate for the era.)
Technology has never played a significant part in it - light sabres are magic swords, FTL travel is a well-worn convenient trope that ‘just happens’ (unless it doesn’t). Droids are servants.
Basically, tech has never been a core aspect of the SW world, mostly because the show has never been science fiction.
