It's "bastardised"
Monty Python isn't satire
The point about transporter tech still stands but there are lots of shield references in SW though they have different types.
Deflectors - used to protect against physical objects like walls, rocks, torpedoes.
Ray shields - used to protect against energy weapons and organics. Can't find any good GIFs atm but from memory, the exhaust port in the first death star was ray shielded, which is why they had to use proton torpedoes. See also, all the silly opening and closing gates in the final battle in Phantom Menace.
Ah ok fair enough, I just found it confusing because the two have the same spelling but completely different meanings and uses.
In the first context it's kind of synonymous with "wish" right? So implying that anyone would replace the will (as in willpower/willed etc) with "won't" in that example is a bit confusing, because that would never happen. In the same way you'd never replace "wish" with "won't".
Edit: just wanted to say I have zero education in this area, I'm just a native speaker, but I love reading these threads when they come up as it helps me understand more about the language too.
It's not clear if you did this intentionally or not but the "will" used in your example "The psychokinetics will the object to move" is not the same kind of "will" used in your other examples, it's this one meaning "to create using the power of your mind".
It's a bit of a nitpick but I thought it worth mentioning as OP seems to be trying to learn.

I still can't get my head around the fact Hegemony isn't pronounced like Ceremony, "Hedge-eh-moany".
I was horrified to find out it's "heg" like "leg" and "emony" like "lemony". Such an uncomfortable word to say, it still trips me up every time I say it.
It is Irish yeah, it's shill-LAY-lee
It is on icks though isn't it?? Please don't tell me that's another one I've been pronouncing wrong this whole time
