GTP Alternative Cool Wall: 1977-1983 Death Star

[niky]

Seriously uncool. The Empire had US-level military budget over-runs, and the Death Star was perhaps their worst White Elephant.

Also... Who puts defensive batteries along the edge of a trench? Put them on the floor pointing up so they won't be shooting at the opposite wall!

Morons.

Am not going to talk about catwalks with no guard rails over near-infinite drops, I swear.

Whoops. I just did.

- Surely this was built with slave labor. Built like six years after the first one was destroyed. That couldn't have been legit without some super-dirty politics.

- Rests upon a pyramid that says MCMLXXVII underneath Empire Currency's One Credit bill with the Latin inscription "Ad Astra Ex Plosive".

- Copied after itself, before that Coruscant, which was a shady copy of Trantor. Although, if it's really that old, it's probably the work of those effing Lannisters.

- Blew up Aldeberan. So, not quite the brightest star in Taurus. Then, I think they blew up Poland.

- Only thing saving it from Massively Uncool is that the Presidents of The United States wrote a song about it.

Uncool.

Meh.

Never cared for Star Wars/Star Trek.

Ah dang it, first time regretting a SZ vote. I forgot about the exhaust port...

He was only able to turn the shot. He wouldn't have been able to penetrate closed valves with a single shot.

The valves had already been knocked out by Wedge's shot, which didn't go in.

SU. Compensating for something or what?

 

[yabiggoose]

Uncool, they couldn't even protect the exhaust port.

Poorly built and poorly defended waste of money. "That's no moon." Correct. But then again, it's also NO STAR! Even as a weapon you had to wait ages for it to get into the right position therefore buying your enemies even more time to prepare. Uncool.

However, the Lego ones are cool and probably capable of causing more damage if left in pieces on the carpet.

However, the Lego ones are cool and probably capable of causing more damage if left in pieces on the carpet.

If horrifically not to scale.

Although it does garner brownie points for at least being the correct shape, unlike Kenner's effort.

Health and safety issues. Uncool.
