Something that doesn’t make sense about Star Wars

Not really, as it is some kind of laser light. It would look spectacular though
Anyway, Siths can use lightsabers in the same way, so there's hope for you!

 

can't have beverly hillbillies if Jed doesn't miss that rabbit and strike oil....and I don't recall there ever being anything in the intro song saying he WAS a good shot.... though you'd expect a backwoodsman to be able to bring some meat to the table....

 

Ever notice that these damn x-wing fighters are always getting repaired during every movie? Shitty ships!

 

I swear by them in Starfighter assault! But yes, you do need to adequately use an R2 repair droid while bringing down imperial Tie fighters :-D

 

That's designed to symbolize the rag tag nature of the rebels

 

i suppose the bullet could have passed through the rabbit and then struck oil, but that's a little grim for a tv intro today, let alone in those days.

 

why do so many of them even look like humans at all?
why build death stars, when a big rock, a tractor beam and trans or near light velocites, are all you need to destroy a planet?
why does the entire context even exist?
where's the science?

 

Star Wars, in my opinion, isn't science fiction but rather space fantasy.

Interesting question about the death star though... Both Darth Vader and Grand Admiral Thrawn disagreed with the emperor pouring so many resources into one space station. Vader thought it was a technological abomination and next to worthless, while Thrawn thought it was strategically insane.

 

yup. i totally agree with all three.

 

Forget all that, why wasnt everyone glued to their smartphones?

Hours/days stuck on a ship travelling to wherever, no one is playing candy crush?

 

Very droll, gorilla, very droll.

 

Who's going to argue with Emporer Palpatine? That scary bastard even had Vader intimidated.

 

Somebody really should've held him to task when he decided, "Ok the first Death Star didn't work out so hot... Let's build a bigger one!"

I mean he must've been going senile. Stupid idiot Palpatine.

 

Yeah, I think that his fight with Jedi Windu not only burned and deformed his face, but also I think his brain was damaged as well

 

I hate that Anakin decided to turn right at that moment. Mace deserved better.

 

Agreed!

 

Why does it have to have a whole planet around it, the weapon itself is at most 1/3 of the size of the death star.

Lets build the galaxys biggest weapon, then put a whole bunch of people around it, living quarters, im guessing a dozen starbucks and KFCs, plus a shitload of little ships.

Just how many poor little cleaners, coffee makers, french fry fryers died each of the times they blew up a death star/ starkiller?

 

Short answer? It looks fucking badass!

But yeah many fast food servers, droids, custodians, etc lost their miserable little lives in those incidents. Maybe if they had studied a little harder they could have... Well, died anyway as an Imperial officer.

 

Errr, the prequels, none of it made any sense.

Turn for what some Senator that did what
