I also want an Israeli CZ so I can pretend I’m the main guy from Rodeo Beep Boop

Government invoke eminent domain like

That weapon is so ridiculous, you can't combine beams of energy/light into a single beam with a different vector.

All that thing will do is create local heating at the focal point, they'd be spinning that thing around so fast to try to focus on a ship/planet, everyone inside would turn to jelly.

Nukes would be more effective in just about every way imaginable

That and they’re the only way to be sure

That is strange to me why the rebels don't develop nukes.

"We can't compete, we don't have a death star."

"Don't need it bitch, just smuggle in a nuke, ding dong, the emperor is dead."

It’s also weird how a ship with larger engines can’t catch a smaller ship with smaller engines in the vacuum of space in episode eight

Not to mention how do you drop bombs in space?

"The force did it"

the get out of plot holes free card for all Star Wars

Why should I let fiction destroy my physical understanding of the universe?

Hollywood should be self-consistent.

Besides, this is an old conflict that the nerds always win... Hollywood == Drama nerds that hate STEM nerds.

Uh, did some motherfucker just tell me I can't have science in my science fiction!!!! 😠

Star Wars was never science-fiction

correct

Correct, it never was.

It was always high fantasy.

with pew-pews

it's a space opera that was later changed to add alien burps and farts

I agree that we shouldn’t let Hollywood lower it standards even further

Firefly did alien burps and farts better.

Does Disney own Firefly yet?

Why would they purchase something that was good?

So they could ruin it

Well it has to be 'good' otherwise they can't fuck it into the dirt

lol, people will pay that for a pen?

That is an old pen

made from bald eagle stem cells

I read that as sperm cells

That means it will tarnish, which means using it will just make it less valuable.

It's less of a pen than a piece of art.

eh.. kinda depends on the 'less valuable part'
patina, tarnishing, staining, etc .. all considered hazards of having antiques. Can still be worth boatloads

that's insane

I'd rather own a plane.
