Re: Another STAR WARS thread
I remember reading the following years ago. I shoulda listened.
Wiki on Alec Guinness ... [ QUOTE ] In his autobiography, Blessings In Disguise, Guinness tells an imaginary interviewer "Blessed be Star Wars!", while in the final volume of the book A Positively Final Appearance, he recounts grudgingly giving an autograph to a young fan who claimed to have watched Star Wars over a hundred times, on the condition that the fan promised to stop watching the film, because as Guinness put it "this is going to be an ill effect on your life." The fan was stunned at first, but later thanked him. Guinness grew so tired of modern audiences seeming to remember him only for his role of Obi-Wan Kenobi that he would throw away the fan mail he received from Star Wars fans, without reading it.[5] [/ QUOTE ]

Re: TL;DR Nerdy Questions...

The guy hand picked by the Emperor to be his right-hand man needs to rely on a bunch of people dying in battle to get a promotion? [/ QUOTE ] The Empire outsourced the construction of the first Death Star and had Vader dotted-line report to the PM for that project (Tarkin). When that project turned out to be an abject failure, in no small part due to Tarkin's overly aggressive management style ("Evacuate?!"), the Board of Directors determined that if that kind of capital expenditure was going to be made a second time, the only way it would approve is if actual Empire employees were used on the project, which explains why it was still incomplete.

Re: TL;DR Nerdy Questions...
OK, I don't feel like getting lost in the wookiepedia again so here's my question: At the end of ep 3 the emperor shows Vader the beginning of the Death Star. Yet in ep 4 Luke is roughly 17-19, and it still isn't finished, so it takes roughly 20 years to build the first one. Why is the second one finished much sooner?
Here's another thing, most of us have grown up with the movies our entire lives so we've never really thought about it, but "the death star" is a really lame name.

[/ QUOTE ] I'd say at least 7-10 yrs b/w Jedi and Empire. The death star 2 is about 1/2 done, technology moves quicker, also luke is older and a competent jedi, much more than the fumbling idiot in empire. Plus it would take sometime for the rebel fleet to rendezvous wherever the [censored] they were supposed to. Thats just my guess but I'm sure someone can give an exact time.
