I think their galaxy is the size of a couple of city blocks!

“Light speed is very slow when dealing with intergalactic distances.”

Irrelevant. They had a hyperdrive system.

You joke, but this is fiction afterall, and it really doesn't appear to be very big as real galaxies go, just judging by the number of star systems are regions

Totally worth it.

I’m a (semi retired) fighter pilot bc of Han Solo.

They constantly refer to "light speed"

Pretty sure this is something along the lines of "suspension of disbelief."

A blaster is a particle weapon. Not a laser. Get with it!

Weak spiral arms, looks more like a globular cluster galaxy.

True. I also cut the Kessel Run down to less than 12 parsecs by getting far too close to those black holes. Shortened the distance by 8.

Han always took credit. Pissed me off.

Like fandom and “love” of celebrities, it’s akin to idol worship.

Basically bullet-like charges. You see various people loading them in the movies and shows.

Probably all due to the Stormtroopers lack of training in marksmanship.

No, it’s pure escapism and fun.

I grew up in Gush during the Intifada. Star Wars was what I watched in a bomb shelter as missiles dropped on my school.
