Folks, I think we're missing the point here.

Star Wars, and this goes for all Star Wars, not just KOTOR, makes for great stories, but lousy science fiction. You can't complain about bad physics in a world where people use the Force to move objects. Not to mention things like lightsabers, which (and I don't care what kind of pseudoscience you throw at it) are impossible. Star Wars is about taking fantasy (ie magic) and putting it in space, not like science fiction, which is about taking a look at current societal/technological trends and extrapolating possible outcomes in the future. In a nutshell, don't worry about what the MSG does, just strap yourself in and enjoy the ride.
