- The new super-weapon was super-dumb. It was like they were trying to one-up the Death Star, but in the dumbest way possible. In a galaxy that has determined that faster than light travel is needed to go anywhere, somehow this thing is able to shoot every beams across vast distances in a matter of seconds or minutes. How? And why could Han and the gang see those other planets being destroyed from a completely different system? It reminded me of how Kirk could see Vulcan being destroyed in Abram's Star Trek movie, even though he was on another planet in a another system. I hated it then, I hate it now. So stupid.
I like to think Star Killer Base is a poor man's Death Star...
I mean you dig big hole and harness the power of a sun with some big capacitors... And you're done. No infrastructure for propulsion or a reactor to generate a planet killing laser...
Granted, you only get what, 2 shots and it's spent? So the Death Star has more utility in that regard... It can move and fire infinitely assuming some kids and their pew pew space ships don't blow it up first.
How hot are you?
I mean I'm not going to lie... I'm no slouch in the looks department...
