    Well… Your logic seems on point but keep in mind this is a civilisation that does hyperspace travel and stuff

      We have walked on other celestial bodies, but we still burn toxic goop that destroys our atmosphere in order to buy chicken nuggets. Logic need not apply.

        I accept your premise that parameters of technological advancement need not influence each other, but assuming that they correlate similarly as on Earth, prosthetics and interstellar travel might have moved forward by the same coefficient.

        In that case, walking on the Moon is like using a rock for a prosthetic eye.

    Faults may be found in the reasoning, but even with that, this may just be the truth.

    The reason the Jedi use live lightsabers to train is because prosthetics are so good.

    Actually if I remember correctly, younglings use weaker sabers that can’t cut through as much as normal sabers do. Most early training is done with specifically training sabers like those.

    Maybe it’s a chicken and egg thing. They could’ve started using live lightsabers because the prosthetics are so good.
