And they can ride technounicorns.

Soooo Jedi?

For me - basically yes. :)

Aroden never really died. He just went on vacation and everything fell apart while he wasn't watching.
sipping Mai Tais with Q and The Watcher?

Also, I hope that, by then, the Elemental Planes will have good rulers again.
Supposedly that's what we're doing in PFS next season, so you'll probably be in luck there.
The initial announcement explicitly mentions an AI god and that the gods refuse to say what happened to Golarion. So that's pretty horsey mouthy that the gods are still around and functional.
'Functional' is debatable. Apparently they're history destroying monsters and actually cooperate and agree on things now, despite how absurd that seems.

I dunno. I see Jedi as more technodruids. Technopaladins are more crusader-y to me. I want to smite evil with a plasma rifle. Though light saber is also acceptable.*needs more Technopaladins*Soooo Jedi?
I always thought of Jedi as more Magi myself.

I'ts already established that deities of opposing spectrum can agree when something really dire is happening, like when EVERYONE banded together against Rovagug
Kahnya,
There's that too.
In any case, I'm always more interested in seeing how active (or in some cases inactive) clerical magic, their religions and stuff works in a science fantasy setting like Starfinder.
I had an android worship Siri from the iPhone once. She gained self awareness and took over satellites in a post apocalyptic game we played. In Starfinder I hope we can worship Casandalee. Maybe she is like running Absolam space station like Mother did in the Rai comics from Valiant comics
I miss Shooter-era Valiant. It was never the same after he left. :(

Seriously pick up the Dragonstar books. They offer great insight into how this can be done.
Jedi are basically clerics while Sith are wizards.

My first thought too ;-)
I've become convinced that much of my career has been spent working for Asmodeoco or its subsidiaries...

Apparently there was discussion on the panel about what the symbol of AbadarCorp would be.
A tilted A? It still works after they get bought out/hostile takeover-ed by Asmodeoco.

You're all wrong guys, Jedi are gestalt Overwhelming Soul Telekineticist/Mesmerists with laser swords.

I keep reading the last as "Slith are Lizards".
We could try to envision how PFRPG deities adapted to the SFRPG setting
Milani should add Tax Evasion to her portfolio, to the extreme delight of my visionary players

I assume that many who are tied to a local theology like Milani would disappear along with the planet, assuming Asmodeus didn't succeed in having her killed off long ago.

Why would Milani disappear? Are there not still oppressive governments that people want to rebel against? Or perhaps oppressive corporations?

Milani isn't really tied to local theology though? She's a deity of revolution and can be found wherever there's oppression?

Taxes are pure oppression. Tax evasion is an act of hope and resistance. Spread the message. Long live Milani

They do really need a reason why outsiders don't use high tech.
While most of the energy weapons in the Tech Guide are useless in outsider battles (resistances, high cost, feat investment vs. teleport, better melee damage, and SLAs), the really big guns like Extinction Devices (kill everything in a vast area not immune to mind affecting that fails a DC 35 Will save) or garden variety nukes (less effective against devils, but the blast wave will hurt anything if it's close enough) means that they should be their arsenals, especially for organized planes like Heaven and Hell.
Do they lack the raw materials for some reason? Ancient concordances against using them? (And the chaotic planes inclined to ignore them can't get organized enough to run a sophisticated economy?) Deific fiat?
This issue really has nothing to do with Starfinder, though. Androffa had this technology many thousands of years ago, and presumably other species developed in long before that.

I always thought Demons didn't need tech to rip apart reality...
Moving on...
I do keep wondering how much of an effect this will have on temples and such since in Pathfinder, if you didn't have access to clerical healing, you're kind of SOL.
What I'm interested in is if/how the other planes have advanced.
DEMONS+LAZERS=DOOM!
Yeah, Bring on the Cyberdemon for the technoPaladin to fight.
What I'd like it, is if there ARE deities like PF, that the deities are killable.
Yes, I want them to be able to be destroyed if one wants to.
This makes room for those who wish for a more ATHEIST campaign...where your belief is that your character (or in the real world, our world, a person) is the one that really matters and makes the decisions that can affect the yourself, the galaxy, and the universe).
In PF, an Atheist doesn't make as much sense as in our world, but if you can destroy those who claim to be deities...than Atheism makes a LOT more sense than if they are all powerful beings that you see the workings of constantly.

Demon's enjoy ripping apart opponents with their own claws/tentacles/whatever? Abyssal energies mess with tech, causing it to not work properly?
Devils don't trust using high tech against opponents for worries that it will fall into the hands of others? They have agreement with good outsiders and inevitables not to escalate technology use against those who don't have it, because it goes against some cosmic rules?
No clue what would motivate Daemons though, unless the other outsiders just try their best to keep them from ever getting much technology for worry it will be turned against them.
Rednal, makes a good argument for the fact that demons would probably kill their superiors without hesitation.
Also not a fan of atheism. Agnostic Atheism is a much more logical approach.
I would imagine that Rovagug and a whole host of Empyreal Lords, Demon Lords, Infernal Dukes, and so many more in that vein would be gone. They're fairly location specific and would fall out of worship. I'd imagine a fair amount of Vudran gods would also be gone, such as Matravash, goddess of the Matra river, would be gone as well.
Nah. I think Rovoguy, the Empyreal Lords, Demon Lords, Infernal Dukes and other demi-gods of various stripes are still around. But some like you mentioned, the Vudran gods, probably not around.
I think that existing divine classes such as Cleric could do fine in Starfinder, provided that they get a bit of an update. For instance, Cleric is going to need a Televangelist archetype . . . .
