I had a real "aha" moment when I thought "oh poo poo, they're not called Star Destroyers because they destroy stars, they're called that because they're destroyers in space!" Then I looked it up and Wookiepedia told me I was wrong

if you want to destroy a planet, flying a destroyer into it seems a lot cheaper than building death stars. probably not in line with the tarkin doctrine tho

Fetus Tree posted:if you want to destroy a planet, flying a destroyer into it seems a lot cheaper than building death stars. Actually... let me introduce you to the concept of BASE DELTA ZERO quote:It denoted the most severe of several levels of destruction that could be directed against a center of resistance, and involved laying waste to an entire planet by orbital bombardment, reducing the upper crust of a planet to molten slag or in some cases, atomize the planet's top-soil. So, they pretty much COULD already destroy a planet with their many star destroyers. So really, the deathstar was just one big fat symbol of terror that could just take it a step further and blow up the planet. Jace Madan fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Jan 28, 2015 |

Or just put rockets on an asteroid and crash it into the planet, that'd work too.

I thought it was reasonable enough that if you had a fleet of star destroyers and had it pummel a planet for a while you could pretty much destroy anything, but:Wookieepedia posted:... could be executed by a single Star Destroyer in less than a day.

Who the gently caress destroys their enemies' whole planet anyway. Kill all the men sure, maybe the children if they're a particularly obstreperous bunch. But why waste all those women and minerals? Plus Alderaan looked pretty drat sweet, you could turn it into the SW equivalent of the sex planet where Riker always went. She even said they had no weapons. Just blow up all their loving moons, it'll scare the poo poo out of them and as a bonus get rid of all those pesky locals in the coastal areas to make way for your new space resort, Club Jed(i)

Also did you know that Tatooine was not always a big desert? quote:Tatooine was once a lush world that had large oceans and a world-spanning jungle inhabited by the native and technologically advanced Kumumgah. Against the elder's wishes they colonized nearby star systems but this drew the attention of the Rakata. In 25,783 BBY, the Rakatan Infinite Empire invaded the planet, conquered and enslaved its native inhabitants and then abducted many to their other conquered worlds. After a terrible plague weakened the Rakata, the Kumumgah eventually rebelled and managed to drive the Rakata off the planet. In response they subjected the planet to an orbital bombardment that "glassed" (that is, fused the silica in the soil into glass, which then broke up over time into sand) the planet and boiled its oceans away.

I had this moment a few weeks ago playing Empire at War, I was looking at frigates and stuff and was like oh gently caress, one of my favorite things in science fiction is actually lazily named as gently caress. And if they had kept going with the idea would be beyond cheesy. "Make sure you secure your star safety vest because the star airplane trip could get a bit star choppy"

Lord of Pie posted:I figured the twi'lek planet would be Rikerville since they are the designated stripper race of the star wars universe. Actually the EU has a more advanced stripper race that can eat whatever it wants and not get fat, projecting pheromones that make them extra fuckable plus they're extremely gullible... but also mildly telepathic. They created Hologram Fun World which Han and Leia considered getting married at but didn't. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hologram_Fun_World http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Zeltron Pretty enthusiastic about whatever they're doing in life though. "We're gonna tailor the gently caress out of this dress!"  "Is that the predator? I loving love that guy!"  "A hutt? Why the hell not!"

quote:Another difference between Zeltrons and Humans was the presence of a second liver, which allowed Zeltrons to enjoy a larger number of alcoholic beverages than other humanoids. I'm really getting stuck trying to figure out how Darwin would explain this one, "well you see they are constantly being challenged to shot contests, after 2 million years of beer pong, shot races, and iron man challenges they began to evolve an extra liver" I think it's mostly the bad wording from wookiepedia because it seems to be implying the reason for the liver was to drink more, not the other way around. Also telepathic and gullible really shouldn't be in a sentence together, if you can read minds or intuit thoughts you're likely good at spotting liars.

Every planet in the star wars universe seems to be able to support humanoid life no prob, so blowing up a perfectly good planet is no big deal. Who needs Alderaan when we can live on Hoth or Lava Hellhole Planet
