Actually they would still be dumb...since, the orbital bombardment would not be by ISD or be considered a Base Delta Zero. Both were clearly Imperial era events.

I mean because the ICS said 200GT for Acclamantor Class...a later movie showing somehow less the 200 GT would only be refuted if it was by that craft using those guns...not because the bombardment didn't match what was previously done.

In essence they would barking up the wrong tree.

That, plus the point that it wouldn't matter anyways unless there was a line in the film explicitly stating "maximum firepower"

There is only one minor flaw I can think of with the AOTC:ICS, there are no toilets visible anywhere.
Obviously, the hatch that Luke opened up under the AT-AT on Hoth, is the bottom part of a walker´s toilet system. Likewise on other vehicles. ;)

Same with the OT: ITW, the only place that has a john is the Lars Homestead. Apparently at Echo Base the rebels have to walk out into the snow and squat.

Well we did see some desintigrater type systems on Slave I that were used dispose of trash (ICS: AOTC), I suppose it could be used for... other purposes...

Maybe its the same theory as to some of the armor pieces that were deleted from the conversion from Clone Troopers to Storm Troopers. In a battle fleet of millions if you had dedicated toilets that would require the production of billions of toilets so maybe its more cost effective to have your crews and troops...improvise when nature calls.

Or there is some sort of hyper efficient nutritional supplements being served throughout the galaxy that 100% of it can be used by the body with no waste, available in chocolate, vanilla and tauntaun jerky....

Don't be too happy. Saxton still has editors who could fuck things up for him.

Possibly, but I'd be surprised. He did a great job on his previous books, didn't he?

The new book will reveal the true nature of turbolasers. The "tibanna gas" is more like "intestinal gas" and in fact each "bolt" is really a stool sample encased in a high energy force field and spun at incredible speeds as it is fired through a rail gun.

Thus the troopers form a symobiotic relationship with their fighters. Gunnery crews must eat lots of spicy mexican food and prunes in order to keep up their artillery barrage. Gives new meaning to the phrase "waste our enemies!"

The color of the bolt is determined by what the "maker" ate for lunch.

You'll never look at a space battle in a Star Wars movie or game the same again!
