Star Wars

Excited for a new Star Wars racing game.

Played the episode i pod racer game during the pandemic, online pvp with some mods.

I got my hopes up for this

Imagine a story set in a future of abundance, with flying cars and brain implants, yet people still casually die of smallpox. Or a tale of interstellar travel where characters don laser guns yet also call each other on wired telephones. When I read or watch stories taking place in high-tech futuristic societies with space travel and intelligent robots, and yet characters still age, it feels as if they could still catch smallpox. A cringe-inducing anachronism, like an astronaut on Mars listening to music from a cassette player. While aging is currently inevitable, advances in biomedical research and our understanding of aging processes point towards a future where we can design our own biology and define how long we live.

Aging Fast and Slow (and Not at All)

We can already slow the aging process in animals. For example, in the microscopic roundworm C. elegans, tweaking a single gene can extend its lifespan more than tenfold, allowing animals that normally only live for a few weeks to live for more than six months. If we could apply such discoveries to humans, it would mean people living for over one thousand years. Of course, worms are simple organisms whose adults are mostly composed of nondividing cells, yet scientists can also slow aging in more complex mammals. In the workhorse of biomedical research, the house mouse, dietary and genetic manipulations can extend lifespan by up to fifty percent, postponing age-related diseases and allowing animals to be healthier for longer.

I figure Palpatine probably boarded the first one offscreen in some non-movie canon material. Even considering Palpatine, Wedge outlived everyone else who had been to both Death Stars.

The AU is called "The Force Is Strong With This One" and I wanna know what changes you want compared to the existing story.

It won't follow the same storyline as the OT, because it's an AU, but I still wanna know. Thanks in advance!
