One thing I've never understood with regards to Sci-Fi, as applies to all of it not just SW, is the uberwanking of "Bio-"whatevers.
Whenever the writers of such bring in a bio-tech race they seem to go nuts. Hell the benefit, from a logical standpoint, of bio-stuff is its adaptability,, not its strength or whatever they portray. An example of what I mean is that a human hand can grasp something, twist something open, lift, pull etc but it doesn't do any of this as well as a purpose designed tool, like for example a spanner. With the spanner you can open or tighten any nut around that it is sized for but thats it. Specialized!! Whereas the human hand can do that as well as any other number of jobs BUT it can't deal with a nut as effieiently as the spanner.
Ergo specialised TECH is better for a dedicated purpose than non-spec, generalist BIO.
Hell, I have yet to see an animals hide (skin, etc) shrug off a round as well as armour plate can,
Just a personal peeve.
