Right! I'm glad someone agrees about planets exploding. As to the
Death Star, well, who says it's not spinning? Very slowly, to bring its
big gun in line with the Rebel moon...? If memory serves, the "ring"
wasn't along the trench, was it? (I mean the euqatorial trench which is
obvious from space) It was perpendicular to that - probably so it
wouldn't look just like Alderaan exploding earlier in the film! But
perhaps that was the "equator" of the power source thing which they shot
directly in Return of the Jedi, and so we just have our ring at a
different orientation...
Ah, this is more like it - not just arguing over whether some assasin's
gonna become lord of the Universe, and how many Sheridans it takes to
crack a walnut, or whatever it's been lately!!!
Incidentally, in response to an earlier comment directed at me, Dr.Who
is still sort of in the public eye, with all the new books coming out!
Granted, though, not as much as B5. And no, I don't want to discuss
Lexx, except to complain that it wasn't anywhere near as horrific as its
late-night slot would have suggested (those rolling snake creatures were
particularly scary - where were the dismembered limbs? The blood oozing
from the twitching corpes?!? Nyaaaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!! Get these men in
white coats off of me!!!)
