4. "How Come The Death Star Can Be So Easily Destroyed?!"
Why would they build a weak spot on the Death Star? Well, considering every stronghold in human history has had at least one weak spot, and, comparing the size of the overall Death Star to the minuscule size of that single vulnerable exhaust port, you can forgive the Empire for assuming no one would ever come along and score a direct hit on it. That's not even taking into account the defence system on that beast, which could and does destroy a small fleet of ships on the offensive. You should remember that the Death Star has only just become fully operational by the time it's attacked by the Rebel Alliance in A New Hope, and even then the defensive firepower on display is impressive. What's more, it's not the architect's fault that the rebel who eventually nukes the teeny tiny exhaust port just happens to be the son of the most powerful Jedi ever. Who even knew there were still any Jedi left, much less that Vader had a kid? He kept that quiet.
Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
