Sorry for the response delay, been on vacation the last two weeks.
Haven't read the comic books but I have read most of the paper backs.
Funny thing is that some don't think the books have anything to do
with the SW universe but if they would read a little farther after the
story is done they would see the little spiel that Lucasfilm Ltd
had authorized new novels that CONTINUED the story from the film and
that the novels would be interconnected.

   - Lasers (blasters)
   - torpedo's.
    And that's just ONE little  ship, now if we took a look at a capital ship

Write your reply.

assistant: Oh like all that crap on Star Trek can happen....SHURE!!!  Did you notice I
said some of the stuff is scientifically impossible, you moron?  Why the hell
are you even posting in here anyway?
You don't know what the fuck you're talkin about, moron.  The first plot Luke
learned about fighting with the Rebellion, his family died, and the Death
Star was being formed and the plans were intercepted.  this is where he and
Obi Wan went to go fight in Alderon, which was already blown up.  So they
found out about the princess when they got sucked into the death star's port,
and they saved the princess, and Luke wound up saving everybody, blah blah.
The second one they were rebuilding a new Death Star too, however, that was
just one part.  For one thing, there were like 9 to 12 star wars screenplays
written, only three were used, so don't go talking about lack of originality.
the Last movie, they had to save Han Solo, they met the Ewoks, and it's been
a long time since I've seen it, but it was also when Darth Vader showed his
son his face for the first and last time (he died) and Darth saved Luke from
the Emperor, and they won, you idiot.
Just because it is scientifically possible doesn't mean it has a plot.  I
could make a movie with three million explosions that were phenomenal and all
scientically possible.  And don't bullshit me, much of that stuff that
happens on Star Trek is NOT possible.
Fuck you you little nerd...
