Ah yes, "Science Hexagons". Often the only distinguishing feature between Scifi anime and Magic anime.

You can do the same with a cube and a cube that has wood lines.

"texture" can also refer to the surface roughness/quality, not just the usage in 3d model surface images

Star Wars cubes

Knowing Star Wars, I'm sure there's a novel explaining the corporation that manufactures those boxes, explains how they're centuries old company, how they're considered very reliable and long lasting, and how the family that owns the company had a big spit when the father wanted to cozy up to the Empire and how the son wanted to help the Rebels.

The point is that this exact line means "future" and is almost universally used.

That’s why I was surprised to see nobody had an answer to that question.

The jerry can is a design that is considered durable and cheap to make, and now they're found everywhere on the planet from WW2 onward.
