Doesn't seem plausible enough. How about the console itself was force sensitive, and committed suicide to help the alliance (and it's long-time friend, The Janitor)?

The Janitor did a brief stint as a bounty hunter cleaning up scum and villainy but even he was too extreme for Vader's request, so he put on a Trandoshan costume he found in the first Death Star compactor and went under the alias Bossk Lucky for Han, Fett got there first

At one point Maan comes to the startling realisation that the entire Death Star is force sensitive and chose to have an obvious weakness so it could be destroyed, as it no longer wishe to be used as a weapon! Gaaarbagge Maan must then face the moral dilemma; report the Death Star itself for a promotion, or get off the Death Star and being his own Jedi training? This really is too easy.

Keenshot Prottorp was a sentient force-sensitive proton torpedo that lived inside Luke Skywalker's X-Wing fighter missile tube. During the Battle of Yavin, he was accidentally shot at the death star and would have forced himself to miss the small exhaust port to survive, but he sensed in the force that the death star must be destroyed for the rebellion's cause and sacrificed his life by redirecting himself inside the exhaust tube, destroying the death star, winning the battle and saving the rebel base from destruction i want to kill myself for writing that Hefty Leftist fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Jan 12, 2015 |

Hingehead posted:- AT AT Pretty sure threepio says Rancor in RotJ. "Oh no, it's the Rancor" when Luke gets dropped in. Also I'm pretty sure some of these things come from the script as like stage directions. Like, they may not say speeder bike but it was called the speeder bike in the "Luke jumps from Leias speeder bike onto the other one" part of the script. Same with TIE fighters. I am curious about the name of Fett's Ship. And honestly Wampa. I can't say I know where those came from.

But how did the death star become force sensitive? Easy. The disturbance in the force caused by the death of billions of individuals on Alderaan was essentially a "wave" of force energy. While this wave did expand in all directions, the majority of it followed the path of destruction backwards, leading to the death star. The death star essentially became a "force nexus", turning it's systems into a brain and gaining a soul made of force energy.

While this wave did expand in all directions, the majority of it followed the path of destruction backwards, leading to the death star. The death star essentially became a "force nexus", turning it's systems into a brain and gaining a soul made of force energy. Vader was able to communicate with the Death Star in secrecy without the Emperor's knowledge. The Death Star was informed of the prophecy and the balance of the force, understood that it was Vader that has to bring balance. At the battle of Yavin, the Death Star tricked Grand Moff Tarkin and many other crews aboard the station into believing they were in control of the Death Star when in fact it was the Death Star in full control. The Death Star commanded Vader to take off as to ensure his survival and the completion of the prophecy of the balance of the force as the Death Star deliberately opened the thermal vent for the Rebels to attack. The Death Star knew it was important that Luke is to survive the battle as Luke is also the key to the balance of the force, to do that, the Death Star ensured the turbo lasers would never hit Luke AND it self destructed at its own will. The Proton torpedo never blew up the death star's core reactor as the proton's capacity was limited enough to a point where it did absolutely nothing. The sentient battlestation fooled both Rebels and Imperials as it set Vader on the path to the balance of the force. It was not until 30 years after the event of Battle of Endor when scavengers discovered yet another secret recordings made by Lord Vader before the final moments leading up to the fulfillment of the prophecy. In that recording, Vader admitted to having force telepathic conversations with the first Death Star. The scavengers reported the findings to the New Republic to which the New Republic recognized the first Death Star as a legitimate sentient lifeform with a conscious mind, willpower and emotions. In an act of recognition, bravery, honor and sacrifices, the new republic erected a plague in the memorial square on Coruscant. This poo poo is loving easy. I wish I had worked for the E.U. novels.

I just remembered the scene from I, Jedi where some bar dudes are making fun of the main character for being from Corellia and he starts sarcastically saying a bunch of irl "you might be a redneck if..." jokes but about Corellians instead of rednecks, and then he beats them all up. This guy posted a fanfiction on a forum I read in middle school and copypasted this entire segment but with the names and places swapped out, and I called him on it and he got made fun of. This is not the first time I was involved in a fanfiction plagiarism incident on those forums. Anyway that's the EU thing that makes me cringe the most.

Anderson noted that some "politically correct" individuals at Lucasfilm almost forced Anderson to characterize spice as a "food additive" in the Jedi Search out of concern for characterizing Han as a "drug dealer" during his smuggling days. The matter was brought up to George Lucas, who confirmed that spice is a drug. Anderson compromised by adding positive qualities to the substance instead of categorizing it as a damaging substance like crystal meth. [3]

Han Solo CAN'T be morally ambiguous! He's got to be a HERO!  Besides only EU toiletlords said Han smuggled spice, so it's their own dumb fault. The movies certainly didn't specify him as a drug dealer, or a "spice smuggler".

I wonder what the bio is of the "Stay on target" guy. Probably some 5000 character bio about he's not a scrub that got waxed by a Vader Tie fighter lackey and instead some decorated war hero that turned the tide of multiple random battles against the Empire. Also, he grew up with Han Solo / Luke Skywalker / Leia / Obi Wan.

Even if you ignore the fact that the shot was there just as eye candy, she was a SLAVE. She was forced to wear that stupid outfit. Lil' Leia in a gold bikini would be like the direct son of a freed slave putting on a loin cloth, an ox shoulder thing, and run around spouting "Yessa massa I'm'a pickin da cottin!" in front of everybody!
