On the Star Wars discussion, with the lightsaber thing, Episode V proves that you don't need the force to operate the lightsaber because Han Solo used it to open the Tauntaun.
On the Star Trek Kahn thing, Kahn was a genetically-enhanced human, but got power-crazy and became evil because he saw everyone like bugs.
Don't know if the comments are still being watched, doubt it really. But as for technology only expanded so far in the 3,500 years between The Old Republic and the known video Saga, a good friend always explained to me that technology in the Star Wars universe never expanded far because they were so advanced that they were constantly forgetting and rediscovering older technologies and improving slightly upon them.
I love you, Joel! XDD
