    Not when, in a universe known to contain non-organic beings able to perform tasks like smuggling plans, a gunnery officer decided to save lasers (as though they were apparently a precious resource) and not fire on an escape pod with no life signs? I feel like that would be the most appropriate moment to stop taking Star Wars seriously.

      It’s okay to accept it’s got a bunch of plot holes and enjoy it for what it is: grungy WWII fighter pilots/samurai/wizards/Vietnam war allegory in space.

      Edit: also nukes

      Well yeah, but I was very young. I haven’t re-watched the original movies in a very long time for a very good reason. I’ll keep those memories intact, thank you.
