May The Fourth Be With You!

Ok first off a couple of quick apologies.
1)To my loyal readers - both of you- sorry for the delay in this post but I’ve been traveling the world, well eastern Europe but more on those thoughts tomorrow.
2)To everyone else, sorry for putting a StarWars post here just like everyone else today, but you may have notice I’m a bit of a geek and let’s be honest if you’re reading this you probably are too.

So I thought what could I do as way to survive a StarWars movie, a bit of a toughie, do I go for the bad guy angle of, maybe don’t build your Uber station of war with not only a single weak point that would cause it to explode if a small charge hits it. Or if you have to do this, maybe invest in some mesh fencing, see you don’t even need to completely seal it off just a few pounds of netting would have solved the issue.
Maybe I could suggest that if you have orders to kill the diplomatic mission from the Jedi Council and you are on a warship in space run by robots rather than slowly gassing them you could maybe open the area to that nice vacuum outside and pop freeze dried Jedi.

On the other side of thing…..

…Jedi you fight with a weapon from a more civilized age, and when used well you use it like a katana, now Miyamoto Musashi states in the book of the five rings that using only one sword is a waste of one of your hands and is like asking for defeat!
…Or… and this is something that got me from the first time I watched A New Hope many years ago, if in a very small space, around the size of a sword handle in fact you can create a beam of light which can cut through absolutely anything, then surely it can't just be me who would take this and upscale it. A nice space craft with a generator and these LightSabers around it making a light shield which would make your craft invulnerable to blaster fire and the ultimate battering ram. Lateral thinking anyone?

So remember if you are told “these are not the droids you are looking for” then they probably are.
Most importantly May the Fourth be with you while you stay safe today.
