A space vessel has a "keel" ?

A galaxy is a big place... full of places where people were not looking. People in this sort of vs debates talk glibly about one side attacking the other side's worlds and important stuff. But what we see is that StarWars is really good at hiding things like that.

Whose torpedoes and whose shields?

There's the point about no longer understanding their own technology.

Still being able to make it is one thing, understanding why it does what it does is quite another. Well no - in the movies they clearly aren't as stagnant as some of the old EU materials implied.

Which raises some questions about how that was measured.

The problem with precious irreplaceable military assets is that you can't risk them in battle, except maybe to protect something even more precious and irreplaceable. In some respects. Not in others. SW never had the problem of their robots getting corrupted by space magic, so they use droids...
