Appearance Designer: The Cutting-Edge Technology Redefining Beauty, Identity, and Social Status in a Galaxy of Constant Reinvention
General Lore
AestheTech's Appearance Designer kiosks have revolutionized the beauty and grooming industries across the galaxy, offering top-of-the-line, customizable personal appearance alterations. From quick haircuts and makeup applications to more extreme body modifications, these kiosks promise customers the opportunity to achieve their ideal self-image with unprecedented speed and ease. With an almost magical ability to transform the body, AestheTech’s kiosks allow clients to change their appearance with little to no pain, using cutting-edge technology.
The kiosks’ exact technical specifications are kept under tight wraps, but their flawless results have made them highly sought after, particularly among the wealthy elite. For those in the galaxy’s upper crust, these kiosks offer an opportunity to continually reinvent themselves, often sporting entirely unique and exotic looks at social gatherings, enhancing their status and presence.
AestheTech has worked hard to ensure that its appearance-altering procedures are safe and have been approved by all major galactic medical and safety organizations. This has reassured clients that their physical changes are temporary, non-invasive, and leave no lasting harm. As a result, the kiosks are not just popular—they have become a cultural phenomenon in high society, turning the pursuit of beauty into a near-constant cycle of reinvention and performance.
The Jedi Lore Keeper’s Perspective
For the Jedi, the rise of technologies like the Appearance Designer presents an interesting, though troubling, question about the nature of identity and the influence of vanity on the mind. While the ability to alter one’s appearance may seem like a harmless luxury, the Jedi see it as a reflection of deeper issues within galactic society—particularly the obsession with superficial perfection and the rejection of natural forms in favor of something more malleable, designed to meet social expectations.
The Jedi Order teaches that the self is not defined by outward appearance but by inner qualities such as strength, wisdom, and compassion. The Appearance Designer kiosks, while perhaps serving a purely cosmetic function, may inadvertently encourage individuals to lose touch with their true essence, or worse, to define themselves entirely by how others perceive them. The Jedi believe that true beauty comes from within, from the clarity of mind and purity of heart, not from outward changes that seek to conform to transient beauty standards.
Furthermore, the widespread adoption of such technologies among the wealthiest elite may be seen by the Jedi as a troubling trend, representing an increasing gap between the rich and the poor, where the haves can afford to continually reshape their identities, while others struggle to survive. In the galaxy’s power dynamics, appearance and status often play a key role, and this new trend is likely reinforcing the notion that physical perfection is a marker of success or worth.
The Jedi also recognize the potential dangers of this technology, especially when it becomes an obsession or when individuals are tempted to use it to hide their true selves, rather than embracing their natural forms. In their training, Jedi learn to value authenticity, and the Jedi Council may view the Appearance Designer kiosks as a tool that, if misused, can distract people from more meaningful pursuits—such as self-discovery, spiritual growth, and inner peace.
Still, the Jedi are not opposed to the idea of self-improvement or the healing of physical conditions. In cases where the technology can aid those in need, such as providing prosthetics or assisting individuals who suffer from disfigurement, the Jedi might see the positive potential of such advancements. However, they remain wary of the ways in which society uses these technologies to inflate personal status or as a means of masking deeper insecurities.
In the end, while the Jedi recognize the allure of the Appearance Designer and its ability to meet superficial desires, they remain committed to the belief that true transformation is a matter of the spirit and mind, not just the physical form. The Jedi will continue to guide others towards a more meaningful connection with their true selves, beyond the pull of cosmetic alterations and societal expectations.
