Im trying to write a Star Wars story about a scientist who is working on something in the era of the New Republic. He does not believe in the Force. I just need something for him to be researching. It really isnt that important to the story; it just has to sound cool and scientific.It can NOT be game-changing or something that can alter the story in a dramatic way. Also it cant already have been done in Legends or Canon. I want a fresh idea.
It cannot be
- A time machine
-A teleporter
-A matter replicator
-Synthetic tibanna gas
-A singularity Weapon
- Any type of droid
-Anything to do with holograms
-A food synthesizer
- Anything to do with the Force or Midi-chlorians
- A shrink ray
-A freeze ray
-pico and femtotechnology
-A Dyson sphere or any type of megastructure.
-Liquid metal armor or a nano morph
-Any improvements on the hyperdrive
-Limb regeneration
-Hyperspace nullifier
-Holodeck
- Knowledge Transfer (Instant learning like in the Matrix)
-Philosophers Stone
-Kinetic weapons
-Solar sail
-Anything to do with kyber crystals
-Gene editing
-Mech suit
-Exosuit
-Gender change
In canon, during the Empire, scientists were researching methods to control droids, lasers that can punch through deflector shields and ship scale disintigrators. These ideas are therefore taken.

On a more serious note, alternative fuel resources to replace kyber crystals.
I have always wondered why Papa Palp never took a few years off. With that much power and credits, you'd think he would have the freshest look in the galaxy.
My favorite knock knock joke.
Any other SERIOUS ideas?
They already exist in the SW universe as Cathar and Zygerrians.
Something like ... a technique to rearrange existing matter on a planet's surface into an ecosystem complete with plants and low-level fauna in preparation for habitation by high-level life forms. The ecosystems could be designed for a variety of purposes, like sustaining livestock, grain, tubers, or recreational planets, etc. The terraformer could be packaged into something like a great big torpedo; you just shoot it at a planet and watch the magic happen upon detonation. It would need a really cool name ... maybe GENESIS or something. That would be sweet.
(In Rogue One Chirrut says the force around Cassian turned dark and indicated he was about to kill on Eadu - a scanner to detect this like the metal detectors at airports..)
So you're scrapping the whole idea just because your story about space wizzards isnt going to be scientifically accurate
