You don’t want guns in a spaceship. Don’t want to poke a hole in a wall and open it to space.
Swords make a lot more sense when fighting inside a spaceship. (Granted, short swords, probably, due to the limited space, but still.)
Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?
capuccino@lemmy.world 1 week agoI think this is the greater unpopular opinion I have, but here I go: It’s something more personal rater than anything. Since child I’ve always fund kinda stupid that a civilization that has ships with space travel capabilities still using swords to fight sigh LASER swords. I always felt Star Wars like a mediaval story, it have swords, magic, incest, politics, and the sci-fi stuff is a big flex tape. I’m pretty sure that without it, Star Wars wouldn’t never be the success that it is.

Naaah, man, you can’t come with that kind of logic here, but I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and say yes, let’s say that they do not use guns because they can make holes in the spaceship, would that be a problem? I don’t think so, since there is oxygen in the space that star wars presents us. I’ve always loved how the Death Star explode.

Funny you should mention those themes, because it was heavily influenced by classic Samurai films, which have a lot of similar “betrayal” story beats.
