What's in the ESB novelization, BTW ?
Is there a rebuttal to this article from RSA, somewhere on SDnet : +
http://www.furryconflict.com/tech/techn ... eroid.html ? It states novelization and script... are the quotes correct ?
From what I understand, there are two possible objections to the destruction :
1) we didn't see the bridge clearly obliterated. The clues in the novelization ( if any ) should then be used.
2) there are no clearly visible metallic debris from the tower. This is the most powerful objection. Another possibility is that the asteroid did not completely blast the entire tower, but rather crushed a part of it, sending little debris outside but doing significant internal damage.
Of course, RSA would object that the ISD towers are so frail that they were vaporized them to their component atoms
