I’ve read many Legends and Canon Star Wars books and I always take away stuff on their limits of technology and science. Over the years; here are some things they said science can’t do.

1.) Cybernetic liver- In Lost Stars, it was said Ciena’s liver could not be replaced as it was one of the few organs that couldn’t have a substitute. [Canon]

2.) Pill or injection to replace the need for water- This was mentioned in Tatooine Ghost by Han Solo [Legends]

3.) Wormholes- Said in the Han Solo comic that scientists couldn’t figure it out [Canon]

4.) Telescopes that can see people (beings) on exoplanets- This was mentioned by Prince Isolder in Tyrants Test [Legends]

5.) Matter transporter- Finn mentioned this didn’t exist when they need to escape in the Force Awakens novelization. [Canon]

What else do you think they can’t do? Time travel is possible- just rare.
