im done
im so done
i know thats not how we talk here at FJ but im actually done
it took me THIS long to realize the significance of TR-8R
i might be retarded, im off to kill myself rn. this is the end
most probable:
some stormtrooper was infected by a tiny parasite living the first stages of his life on a sandwich and later in the troopers anus.
after ******** out the parasite, it starts his next stage of life and gains massive proportions living from the waste of a huge starbase.
after all it took about 20 years (?) untill the deathstar was finished.
alternative scenario for a nice movie:
the creature either learns to hack into the death star system, merging and literally becoming one with the death star. or creating offspring to take over the deathstark Aliens-style.
In Star Wars we've seen creatures that can survive permanently in the vacuum of space and many other hellish environments. It's not hard to imagine that in the process of collecting a moon's worth of raw material into a single massive structure, some eggs or larva hitched a ride on a cargo freighter or asteroid (or a Stormtooper flushed his pet kraken down the toilet when it outgrew the shoe box he had been keeping it in). Invasive species traveling on cargo shipments is a major problem in the real world, no reason to believe it wouldn't happen in Star Wars, especially when dealing with such massive scale.
