I was more thinking about how people can watch it fire while standing on the surface, or the complete lack of any gravitational effect of it draining and destroying the sun. Does is suck up one sun per shot? Wouldn't that mean it needs to move to a new system for the next shot? Wouldn't all the trees and stuff die moving through hyperspace?

It seems like it's one sun per shot. Anyway, it's not a very good weapon. The Death Star had a reactor that powered its self. All the Rebels need to do is live on a planet like Pluto, or the equivalent.


was referring more to behavior (the OTT shrieking) on his part, rather than motivations.

Okay, thought he was imitating Nazi speeches.


I found Vader's dealing with a gun shot far better. He took the hit without even seeming to notice, while Ren had to freeze it and get out of the way, because it would presumably have killed him.

Fair enough, and I suspected that's what you were alluding to, but remember that both of Vader's arms are metallic. Ren has no such luxury (yet).


He tried to read two people's minds, one beat him and he went running to the boss to whine.

One was a Force adept.


You mean...like Luke? What about Mace Windu? Yoda's syntax might have been perverse, but his pronunciations were American.

Considering Windu is my favourite Jedi, I will digress.


I was not one of them. I always thought those things would be more useful than Maul's double blade. And my reference provided yet another use for them, as it would be a lot more painful getting shoved up that far.

Well indeed, a double-bladed sabre is prohibitive and of little value. There have been Jedi with whips too but I find these even less practical.


The Lanfear of the Rebellion, eh?

That was low and unnecessary.
