Is that the big one that crashes into the Death Star? That thing owned, other than whatever design flaw that made it crash when it gets his by a small fighter.

When I was a kid I thought Star Destroyer meant that it was a ship that destroyed stars. Never mind that it never happened on screen, dammit!

Turning off a sun seems like a pretty good way to do that, but I guess I just don't understand the finer points of running a space empire.

And it's a testament to my own lameness that I feel the urge to correct you. The one that crashed into the second deathstar was 19 kilometers in length executor class super star destroy, not a 1 kilometer long Imperial class star destroyer.

Yeah, I definitely want to drive the 19 km one. I imagine it's controlled by a big wooden wheel.

star wars is basically just a ripoff of a kurosawa film using a generic hero's journey template with meaningless buddhist and taoist philosophical mumblings grafted onto it

they should have tried something more original, like maybe starting off with a hero's journey template but then completely subverting it partway through the trilogy. and it would have been a breath of fresh air for a mainstream film series to unabashedly make use of christian themes and imagery instead of just cribbing poo poo from *~the mysterious orient~*

Yeah Kurusawa was a true original.

I'm still not sure to this day how the Emperor thought he could "turn" Luke to the Dark Side, unless he has some kind of Hypno Power or mind control, which in my head canon, he does.

He did turn him to the dark side though, albeit momentarily.

You can determine a nerd's age by asking them whether Star Wars was ruined by The Prequels, The Special Editions, or Return of the Jedi.
