A few... maybe 100.
But Alderaan was no present danger. The Death Star was!
If the rebels would have not destroyed the Death Star they'd be
toast.
But Alderaan wouldn't have destroyed the Death Star.
Those few innocent lives must have been sacrificed, so that the
Rebellion could survive.
But these millions of innocent people on Alderaan were killed
because of a few thousand rebels.

I have to disagree with you. The way Vader walks, the way he makes his turns
with his cape swinging over his shoulder, and especially the light saber
duels are very much part of Vaders character. It isn't that obvious, but it
is as important as good background music, which disappears in the action (not
that you don't hear it, but you think it's only natural - many people only
notice the music once it isn't there.)

user: You are replying to All about "This SW\ST arguement!".

Write your reply.

assistant: It seems that some of you let this David Nelson get under your skin. Let
me admit that I am a Star Wars fan and also a Star Trek fan. Actually, I
am a fan of all Sci-fi! I like Star Wars for its story (which is a good
one). It draws from stuff like ancient samurai and WW2 (if you know what
I mean on that part), also with magic that has its mysterious ways and
the characters. In Star Trek, I also like the characters and only some
of the stories. But from what I have seen from both, I really didn't
see Star Wars ripping anything off from other stuff. Star Trek on the
other hand, well, it does take stuff from other shows (and I'm only
talking about the most recent shows of the Star Trek universe). I have
seen that Voyager has taken some ideas from the show Babylon 5 (this was
in the season finale). The ships that the aliens have, the aliens that
ravaged the Borg, looked almost exactly like the Vorlon ships on B5.
And that alien themselves looked like the Shadows (these are the only
things I have seen so far). And also, Star Trek has to always bring back
certain characters to bring up the ratings. While Star Wars was able to
keep its fans for 20 years, with only the fact of adding just a few scenes
in, but it didn't need to put in certain characters (actually, aliens) to
get people to see the movie. But like I said, I do like Star Trek and
Star Wars, but Star Trek does have a lot of faults. Star Wars may have
its faults too, but I haven't seen any.
