    A thought about Star Wars...

    ...You see the mighty empire, capable of building mighty armies that can crush anyone, can build spaceships that can traverse the galaxy in hours, can create deathstars with weaponry that can crack planets like eggs. But can the put a f**king railing on the edge of a balcony or high up walkway or sharp drop? No. What's with this? You know, the Health and Safety Executive in the UK would have a fit if they saw the sheer disregard for worker safety. I tell you, that deathstar is a potential deathtrap

        It fits in well with the empire's "complete disregard for human life" theme.
        I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

          the empire hired subcontractors to build their ships, they cut costs and pocketed the difference!

            Yes, but what if a hapless Emperor happens to 'stray' over the edge?

              The lack of railing is a definite EH&S issue. Yet, why would they care if their clones fell to their deaths? Their clones after all. Also, maybe it was intended to knock their enemies off, not the other way around.

              Note: Lando's sky palace also had serious lack of railing.

              You never see any signs either.

                Well I remember once when they just walked through a door and there was just a sheer drop (IV I think)...that is a pretty nasty architectural feature...

                  He was thrown over the only rail in the entire series!

                  ACK!

                    Was there a railing there when he was thrown over? So the Emperor's chamber gets a rail? The lucky, lucky bastard

                      Yep, Darth Vader used it to help himself up after Luke amputated his hand.

                        Ah yes, of course, but only an emperor would get such a lavish luxury like a railing

                              Oooh... you're lucky my friend HMB isn't here to listen to your rabidly anti-Imperial talk. He'd be in his TIE Advanced in a jiffy and flying over to your house to... um... smash your mailbox... or something.

                              Bing held the dubious distinction of managing to argue us into accepting that "just because the Empire is evil, it doesn't make them a bad kind of evil".

                              But I'd prefer to be on the side of the Empire than the Rebels. All this hippy crap makes me wonder when the last time they took a bath was.
