Words meaning 'thing' - Zeug, Gegenstand, Objekt, Sache, Ding

Is there a difference between 'Gegenstand', 'Sache', 'Ding', and 'Dinge'?

Examples:

In these 3 sentences, you could not translate the used term with either of the other 2 terms and keep the same meaning of the sentence:

The subject matter of the discussion was a new movie: Der Gegenstand der Diskussion war ein neuer Film.

This is a complex issue: Das ist eine komplizierte Sache

This thing here is really complicated: Das Ding hier ist echt kompliziert!

Some more explanation for the 3:

Ding - Rather used in casual speech, addressing a tangible object

Sache - Referring to a thing, an affair, an issue

Gegenstand - The most technical term. Referring to an object, subject
