. Presumably they wouldn't be chemically propelled anymore, though - maybe a railgun launcher sending antimatter charges? Then might be able to use the same power pack as the phasers. Maybe some sort of scaled down version of a photon torpedo launcher? And if so, the charge would similarly be a sma...

That clip may imply there have been some previous aggression, so I’ll grant you that, but that doesn’t automatically mean Naboo is an anti-Federation voter in the Senate. You’re just guessing at that. I suppose we can stretch it to make the leap, but that’s tenuous at best. And giving the context of...

Urn, no, it wouldn’t. At most it would be Naboo acknowledging it, but Naboo being an unimportant backwater (which remember is crucial to Palpatine’s plot as it’s necessary that the Republic doesn’t act too quickly or with too much force until after he’s taken over and can prompt quicker/more decisiv...

But the only thing he’s getting out of it is Sidious arranging to help legalise the invasion, which means that Naboo itself must be worth it, but there’s no indication what that worth is. It would be one thing if Sidious said that if they invade it for him he’d pull strings to get the taxes/trade sa...

Did you completely zone out during the part where they state that “fear will keep the systems in line, fear of this battle station”? And the part where Tarkin says that Dantoonie is too remote to be an effective demonstration? Choosing Alderaan is because it is a high profile world and sends the mes...

Not to mention we see in seveeral scenes of exposition: - There was an Imperial Senate, now there isn't. - The regional governors will control the systems of the Empire directly. - The governors will rule through fear. Obey or get blown up. - In order to instill fear, a demonstration of the Death S...

It will need a new host. And Chuck has a lot of work ahead of him to get a new setup. It's a right stick into the wheel of the show. My head is so spinning, I thought "it will need a new host" meant I needed to be fired from my own show. No worries, you'll still be part of the show and it's just a ...

He's holding a planet hostage in order to force the senate to give in to his demands. What are his demands though? This. The issue isn’t why they’re evil, the issue is why they’re taking the actions they do within the film. As I laid out in an earlier post, every action the villains take in Episode...

But it’s not the same thing though. Tarkin is in a position of power fighting those that want to overthrow him and wants to maintain that power. He has a clear goal, he explicitly tells us what method he thinks will work best to achieve that goal and takes steps to go through with it. Gunray just wa...

Papa Noel can't win. If he puts in exposition then its too clunky and dull. If goes with his strength of "show don't tell" and puts Gunray in a walking throne with the obvious connotation that he thinks himself above the plebeian practice of walking then nobody can figure out that he has a massive ...
