In a Star Wars X RWBY crossover I think it would be worth exploring how Dust functions off-planet. Does it? How rare of a commodity would it be if it does? Would Remnant's Dust become the Star Wars equivalent of Dune's spice?

The state of the moon has always made me think that Dust is particular to Remnant. Perhaps because the two terms are so similar to each other. I've always pictured that something colossal happened to the moon, which had a global effect on the planet, destroying all life and creating a new primordial mishmash for Dust to be created, which leads to the current evolution of mankind, allowing Auras to be a tangible, calculable thing.

I think everyone can picture Han Solo smuggling some Dust. Blaster versus Melodic Cudgel in a showdown over who gets to walk away with the loot. Imagine the sass!
