Sorry about using "meters" when I should've used "kilometers" when describing the Death Star II.

Anyways, I found a link to an "analysis" of the Death Star's size in its Wikipedia article, while doing research because I intended to use the mobile battle station in a fanfic, a few years ago. (If you're curious, no, I didn't believe the author's argument that the Death Star is smaller than we thought; ultimately, I left out such details when describing it in my story, as it was irrelevant.) When I checked the Wikipedia article after viewing this thread, I noted that the link was removed, along with any questions about the Death Star's size; I guess the guy who posted it (a Trektard?) is eating a flock of crows right now. (Note: I tried to find that "analysis" through Yahoo! so other board members can see it for themselves, but was unsuccessful.)
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.

Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.

They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

I believe you speak of Sarli's analysis. It's pretty stupid, and copy pastes a fair amount of stuff from RSA's website, including the fucked up scaling.

It is more of his anti Saxton slam crap, might as well ignore it.

I think the number of weapon enplacements is still ridiculously low. Guess that will need to be fixed next.

Are you serious? Sarli actually copied the Rabid Stupid Asshole's material?

It's not surprising. He's every bit as dishonest as Scooter, but lacks his refined social skills.

Funny, I was thinking exactly that.

Then again, I would guess everyone but Thrawn McEwok is...
"But there's no story past Episode VI, there's just no story. It's a certain story about Anakin Skywalker and once Anakin Skywalker dies, that's kind of the end of the story. There is no story about Luke Skywalker, I mean apart from the books."
