Ok, but droids have those manipulator arms that go out that let them hack other systems. So, it doesn't help much if your air-gapped system interacts with other networks.
But yeah, nothing really holds up to scrutiny if you dig too deep. Having said that, I think Star Trek (at least the modern version) does a bit better at it than Star Wars. Star Wars suffers from it being a 1977 movie where George Lucas just went with the "rule of cool" instead of worldbuilding. Star Trek (at least the modern version) seemed to think at least a bit beyond what they showed on screen.
Yeah for sure! At least we have both (well, kinda, Star Wars after The Last Jedi just doesn't do it for me anymore haha). I think the pre-Disney EU had more effort into fleshing out the world, now it's even more "rule of cool" than when Lucas was running the show
I'm not too interested in most of the new Star Wars stuff, but it's still good special effects so I watch it while doing other things. But, I did really like Andor. It was a real departure from the typical Star Wars fare which is low on plot but loaded in special effects. For most of the new Star Wars stuff, you can tune it out and only pay attention when there's a battle or something. But, Andor actually had a real plot with some actual twists... and good special effects.
