Ward's Words #287

I was just thinking about the movie Star Wars.  The Empire’s plan was to put all their eggs (troops) in one basket (Death Star) and they thought that was a good idea.  Sure, one mega explosion and they lose everything.  What kind of idiot commanders did the Empire have?  They lost all tactical advantages like, let’s surround them and we’ll get them in a crossfire.  I also like how ponderously slow the whole thing turns.  They only had one big gun?  It’s the size of a planet and only one gun?  That’s no way to dominate a star system boys.  I’ll bet General Ackbar was secretly laughing at Darth Vader at some point.
