Which of these future technologies (on this list) should I pick?
I’m trying to pick a technology for my Star Wars story. So basically pick something that could fit well into Star Wars. It can be multiple things, and I have provided some info on ones you might be unfamiliar with. Basically pick something that could fit into Star Wars and is advanced enough that you wouldn't already assume they don't have it yet. Also, if you know they have it already, you can skip it. Try to pick stuff that is more on the advanced side. Sorry. I don't know what happened with the font.
