Hey everybody. The Death Star manual is out at your local bookstores. Now you can sperg on minor details such as how the super laser works, the history of the development of the death star, non existential layouts of rooms that are never seen in the movie, non existential characters that looks retarded.

Albert Camus said there was an inherint dignity in the futility of repeatedly building retarded super weapons that only get blown up.

well after blowing up a planet you get a lot of debris to recycle so having lots of ways to take that in and make it useful would make sense which isn't in the eu right, no one thought about "well what do you do with all the planet chunks full of metals and stuff after you blow it up"

Yeah I mean the Death Star obviously has to have a million things it because of it's size and crew complement. Living quarters, armories, offices, workshops, mess halls, and everything else an enormous military installation. But the EU is all "nope it's just brigs and trash compactors for miles" because those were in the movies.

Emperor saves money by having the trash compactors be the sleeping quarters and buffet-style canteens

Well they were on the lower levels of it where the icky stuff like waste and prisoners are kept. Pity they didn't show the swimming pools and indoor rock climbing decks, the Arts and Craft deck, and the kitten party deck.

Tarkin's first name is "Wilhuff"? That's... actually way more dignified than I would have expected from a name tacked on in the EU.

Woolie Wool posted:Having it pull towards the core makes too much sense for Star Wars, it probably pulls along an arbitrary north-south axis. It's Star Wars, which means when given two choices, the answer is always an even dumber third option. It's actually both, the outer layers are concentric with gravity going in towards the core, the inner layers have gravity going north-south.

Why do EU authors not get this the names really got out of control. ben, han, luke, those are normal-ish names (han's a little weird but not unheard of) yep the emperor's name is sheev!! tbh its not like lucas didn't make some dumbass names in the ot mon mothma hm yep that sounds good.

Aren't kings and emperors generally known more by first name/regnal name rather than surname? It wasn't Kaiser Hohenzollern or King Windsor for example. So really it should be Emperor Palpatine [name] rather than Sheev Palpatine.
