If James bond is in the mix, what about goldeneye?

The Boom Stick is missing. Ash time travels twice in the movie.

I like that Han's blaster is more powerful than an ATAT

Yeah, I don't think the creator was very rigorous in their research. I feel like the Halo rings have to have more impact than the death star.

I'm really not a fan of super weapons in sci fi. They make little sense, if you ask me.

like. really. the Deathstar didn't really serve much in the way of a useful purpose.

A carrier for self-mobile carriers? that made planets go poof?

Any reasonable rebel would just not be on a planet, which means you're making your own resources go poof. and by resources, I mean labor force.

This something I never understood about Hoth. strap that ion gun and it's genset to a freighter, and you'd have a pretty mean gunship that can disable entire convoys or blockades. equip other freighters for wildcat gas extraction and refinery and solve your fuel problems. same for manufacturing, with the advantage of not losing your shit everytime the Empire shows up.
