That whole Death Star thing was an inside job anyway. A thing that big and advanced and its completely blown away by a small one man fighter? With a proton torpedo that everyone knows explodes at just 400 degrees, well short of the 1200 needed to melt the support structure?

Oh, and just by "coincidence", Lord Vader wasn't on board at the time. He just suddenly decided to go for a little fly on his own, rather than stay and watch the destruction of the Rebel base he'd been seeking for years?

 

[Leper]

We might have to one day though....

The way it exploded makes it quite clear that there were agents on board that planted explosives. The Imperial Alliance used the destruction of the Star as a pretence for invading non aligned systems and beefing up their military industrial complex. The funding for the AT-AT's came through within a parsec of the explosion.

That was a brilliant little addition. Did you really think it would go unnoticed?

The Empire is badly misunderstood. The Rebel scum nothing but a band of extremist terrorists. However, the winner always gets to write the history. Failing in that, they can always go back and make enormous changes through digital effects.

 

[Shane Hird]

The way to turn a Death Star into a profit maker is to turn it into a giant prison for all the countries of earth to send their criminal scum.

I mean it wouldn't be full of thousands of storm troopers would it?. Just all empty space.

You could have a private company run the joint and charge per head. Virgin could transport em up.

And it would be very handy to have around if one if those rogue meteors came our way.

 

[Northworth]

Gotta love a government prepared to issue that sort of response

[Total_Juddshanks]

You get the feeling writing that response is likely to be the most personally satisfying day at the office in Paul Shawcross' public service career.

Interested in how they came up with the $850 quintillion price tag.

Also if the US Government did build a death star, how long would it take for the NRA to start invoking the constitutional right of a US citizen to be able to buy one without the need for a license or background check?

 

[theboxmike]

Maybe we should take this idea to the Russians

Watch as the US panics into submission.

 

[jethro11]

I thought North Korea have already built a Death Star.

 

[coke_zero]

shotgun being the captain of the death star.

 

[Dont be a lemon]

Maybe battlestars instead?

A parsec is a measure of distance... The rest is entirely accurate.

God damn.
