Actual conversation with a Star Wars player and me (the GM).

PLAYER: I'm sorta interested in what their explanation for hyperspace is.
GM: It runs on Industrial Light and Magic.
PLAYER: No, I mean, like with the laser guns...
GM: They aren't laser guns.  They're Lucasfilm plasma blasters.
PLAYER: But doesn't anyone in the game world have an explanation for me?
GM: Sure, but do you think the audience wants to watch your character
    run around to a bunch of nerdy engineers and listen to them?
PLAYER: Good point.
GM: Ah.                       
PLAYER: I go and try to find a brawl, just to keep George Lucas happy.
GM: Good idea.
