I have a friend that works in the Norfolk shipyards building CV’s. His big problem with the SW universe is the destruction of the second unfinished Death Star in Jedi. Being a civilian contractor on a goverment project his opinion is that the Death Star would have millions of civilian contractors running cable, routing pipe, welding in panels, etc. Even though it is an “evil” government project that doesn’t mean the poor guys sweating double time to build this massive monstrosity we’re evil. They were just trying to get enough credits to feed the wife and kids. And all of a sudden Stan the electrician is blown to bits by the rebel alliance while wiring up the new snack machine…
Interesting tidbit on cost of Death Star:
