serefth (12/15/2015) [-] Palpatine told anakin that he killed her when he choked her out
Then she went on later to have the kids
Then she died (I beleieve it was just from being in labour and some mothers die)
He says "NO, I felt her, SHE WAS ALIVE" on choking her out. So I think, that he believes that she died there

severepwner (12/15/2015) [-] That's your justification for blowing up an entire planet and killing 10s of millions of innocent civilians? Because they were looking for a tiny insurrectionist faction and because they're coooool?
I'm begging you man, never be put in a place of power. If you were in a police chief in New York, you'd request that the city be nuked without evac, so you could catch one serial killer on the loose.

reeeeeeeeeee (12/16/2015) [-] Dude ****** calm yer barn. For a start they never actually blew up alderaan. It's fictional. For a second, feck off. For a third, I'm not saying that they should blow up alderaan (I can't believe I'm debating the ethics of a fictional groups fictional actions) but that they did it for a specific reason that might seem beneficial to them if they want to defeat the rebels, who totally blew up 2 death stars in the future.

severepwner (12/16/2015) [-] >I can't believe I'm debating the ethics of a fictional groups fictional actions
Well I can't believe you bothered to defend a fictional group's fictional actions in the first place then. Arguing about fiction is one of the most common practices on the internet. Sure you could just write it off as "Well none of this ever actually happened, why do we care?" Well you're right, in reality, no one takes it that seriously. I've been in heated arguments with my friends about concepts in Fallout 4, but it's not like we're cutting off friendships or anything because we're not arguing about anything real, but that's the fun of it. That said, even if we did argue about something real, we're mature enough to get over it quickly.
We argue about fictional stuff is because when we experienced it the first time, we all subconsciously reacted and judged people and groups in different ways. While subconsciously thinking "What would I do in this situation? How would I do it differently?". The content is fiction, but the thought processes we have are real for everyone. So when someone shows a different opinion to how they reacted to the content, it reflects on decisions they might make in real life. So we're not necessarily arguing over something that never happened, as much as we're using content as a basis to have a completely different argument about morality, or whatever topic is relevant.
If that doesn't work for you, maybe being a nerd isn't for you. Some people like to roleplay the bad guy and side with, well the bad guy, in this case the Empire. But if people can do that, I can roleplay as well and tell you you're a complete psychopath.
And finally, oh god forbid the rebels destroy the 2 death stars. The ******* gargantuan devices that existed for the sole purpose of blowing up planets full of hundreds of millions of innocent people at once. Wow rebels are dicks.

People would have assumed Luke betrayed everyone and initiate the operation without him, and considering what happened when he WAS there, the operation likely would have failed and everyone would have been killed or captured. Luke's presence was important there, and he was able to stop the Empire regardless.

captainfuckitall (12/14/2015) [-] The whole thing that separates Jedi and Sith is their philosophy and belief system. Jedi (mostly) believe that the Force is used via self control and discipline while the Sith believe it is controlled using passion.
Likewise, some groups believe the Force is a conscious entity that pervades all things, others believe it is a material prospect such as gravity, others believe it is a 'will' of the universe, so on, so fourth.
Though you don't see anyone praying, it is quite certainly a religion, and has an entire philosophy and doctrine behind it depending on which group you subscribe to.
There are some people who do not 'believe' in the force in that they either think it is smoke and mirrors or some type of genetic disposition rather than a mystical one (which it is in the Extended Universe, though the Prequels give it a scientific basis). Other races still are not effected by the Force and cannot utilize it, while some are only immune to certain powers while vulnerable to other ones.
The entire idea and concept behind The Force is incredibly complex and spiritual in nature, and ultimately the idea of what it is and how it works is left up to the person wielding or observing it.

anon (12/14/2015) [-]
Don't quote me here on this, but I'm pretty sure that's just the sort of skepticism that is being demonstrated because during the timeline of 4,5,6 there were very few jedi/sith around. Obi-wan, Yoda, Luke was trained but the first two were hiding/presumed dead. Emperor and Darth Vader were the only two prominent figures and they likely had no real need to demonstrate the force in front of their employees.
Not to mention that just because it's termed a "religion", doesn't suddenly exclude the possibility of there being a "magical force they can manipulate", as you suggest.

But there shoudl have still been a lot of people that have at least heard of it.
I presume the Jedi council was quite famous and for example Admiral Motti (the one with the lack of faith) must have been a young man by the time of the executon of Order 66 and the downfall of the Jedi.
The original trilogy plays only about 19 years after the end of the new one so lots of people must still remember.

You don't know that Vader was telling the truth though it's perfectly reasonable to think that the Emperor told Vader to say that just so they could use Luke to betray/cripple/destroy the rebels then just kill Luke like what they tried to do in force unleashed.
Remember it's not till the very very very end that Vader is supposed to of converted back from Sith to Jedi up until then he's basically completely Palpatines butler.

You seem to have forgotten that Anakin literally told Padme that he was more powerful than the Emperor and could overthrow him so that they could rule the galaxy together the last time he saw her.
It has been shown multiple times that Sith's will seek more and more power and Anakin/Vader is no exception. He was to a degree probably broken from losing Padme (and all his horrible injuries), which might have made him the butler you refer to. Sadly none of the EU books are actually about Vader during the beginning times of the Empire, so nothing we can refer to But he has hesitated in Episode 4 to kill Luke so it is obvious he cares about him to a degree. I think it is perfectly possible he was being serious

anon (12/14/2015) [-] In the new Vader comic, which takes place between episode IV and V, he is going behind Palpatine's back trying to learn who the rebel boy with Kenobi was. He even goes as far as framing imperial officers that were sent to watch over him and hires someone to rob a empire credit transport to pay an informant. It also shows that palpantine would settle for any right-hand-man stronger than him to serve as a replacement.

ninjabadger ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-] They did it to avoid fire from the ship, since most of the turrets were located in a higher plane and could not fire into the "trench" as you call it (without causing damage to the ship at least, most couldn't even get a good angle on it).
There was a a tactical reason for it. It's also less likely to be taken out by hostile craft, since they can only come at you from certain angles (or even see you for that matter). Less maneuverability yes, but less angles to be engaged from and less crafts that can effectively give chase). It was a calculated risk if you will.

ninjabadger ONLINE (12/15/2015) [-] The fences thing would be incredibly important to put in not only for assault defense, but also so that no debris in space could cause damage to the ships internal structure/core.
That's all they needed really, particularly reinforced bars would've been superb. Multi faceting them (a few layers a few feet apart in different patterns) would all but neutralize any chance of something like a plasma bomb getting inside without detonating first.
As for the size well, for a ship of that magnitude they would need large exhausts. I feel there were more, or rather had to be more, for that ship to function properly. Unless it had tanks inside to hold exhaust temporarily for processing and dispersal.
TLDR the architects did a terrible job with the star, 5/10.
