Just make it downloadable.

That would make it rather inconvenient for those watching on tablets and phones.

As for blowing up a penal colony, for a moment let’s have a hypothetical scenario. Say tomorrow Trump decides to adopt the Tarkin Doctrine as his official domestic policy. Which do you think would elicit more terror in the population of the US; blowing up LA, or blowing up a prison? Both acts would...

George Lucas' best work when he was under a budget, under duress and had other people to shoot down his bad ideas and fix his atrocious editing.
