most dangerous my arse. Death star.

[–]dissapointedorikface 21 points22 points ago

Or, if you read the EU, the Sun Crusher.

[–]Aihwa 12 points13 points ago

If you'd read the rest of the EU, Centerpoint Station.

[–]anonymouscrayon 3 points4 points ago

[–]Aihwa 2 points3 points ago

Centerpoint Station can drag planets and black holes around the galaxy. And bust suns, and fire gravity pulses capable of destroying fleets, and project a massive interdiction field.

[–]KaizerSmokeHaze 9 points10 points ago

The power of Centerpoint Station is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

[–]UndeadPirateLeChuck 4 points5 points ago

sigh religious nuts.

[–]KaizerSmokeHaze 3 points4 points ago

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

[–]Jibbs74 1 point2 points ago

I would argue that the Force is not a weapon.

[–]KaizerSmokeHaze 1 point2 points ago

Never said it was a weapon. However, in the same way that a car is a tool that can be used as a weapon, the Force can be used for more nefarious purposes.

[–]Jibbs74 1 point2 points ago

Touche

[–]Daiephir 1 point2 points ago

I'd rather take the Sun Crusher, making stars going Supernova, be nearly indestructible and indetectable, yes please.

[–]anonymouscrayon 1 point2 points ago

I honestly have no idea what the Galaxy Gun does, It just sounds menacing

[–]Aihwa 0 points1 point ago

Basically it fires shells capable of a preset amount of devastation on a planet. So it can be set to a few kilometers or to raze a whole planet.

[–]SelfProclaimedNerd 0 points1 point ago

someone should make a 'fixed' post...

'handed most dangerous weapon in the galaxy' 'blows it the fuck up'

[–]The_Mosephus 2 points3 points ago

you know whats even more annoying than a repost? seeing the same comment by the same person several times in one thread.. looking at you human tree...

[–]Razer1103 3 points4 points ago

I actually like what Trapped_In_Reddit has done...It was a subtle way of saying, "This is a re-post" while still appearing to contribute to the conversation.

It's clever, and the people who think it's karma whoring are really the ones who care so much about karma, they care about someone else's karma.

[–]THE_HUMAN_TREE 3 points4 points ago

Actually, I am a fan of Trapped_in_Reddit. But I do not appreciate seing the same reposted comment 3 times in the same post.

[–]Lots42 -4 points-3 points ago

You know how I complain it's a repost? I say 'This is a repost'.

You, Razer, sound like a dick.

[–]Razer1103 2 points3 points ago

I don't understand how that makes me a dick.

Re-posting a previous top comment is a subtle way of saying "This is a re-post".

Just plain complaining about reposts is generally frowned upon and is against reddiquette.

[–]Lots42 -3 points-2 points ago

Reasons you sound like a dick: Whining about what other people whine about. Thinking it's okay to repost other people's words. Seeming like a sockpuppet. Just general snobbery.

[–]Razer1103 1 point2 points ago

I'm not whining at all. What would I even whine about?

[–]Lots42 -2 points-1 points ago

"Whining about what other people whine about. "

[–]Razer1103 0 points1 point ago

I still don't know what you're talking about.

After every comment you make, I'm more and more convinced you're just trying to be a troll.

[–]AdorableZeppelin 0 points1 point ago

I was a bit lost as to why this was a reply to me, then I realized what you were referring to.

Just to clarify, I'd never seen the picture in the OP posted before, and I knew of the GIF I posted because I'm a fan of Top Gear and see the GIF every now and then and thought it fit along with the OP quite well.

I understand why you're doing what you're doing, but just move on. We all hate reposts, but with the millions of users Reddit supports, not everyone is going to always see the same post, and it's inevitable that you're going to have similar comments in similar threads. 'Alerting' people of a repost/comment repost is just silly.

[–]MrBenzedrine 8 points9 points ago

In my mind I see Lenny from the simpsons recoliling with his hand over his face shouting:

"argh, my eye, I'm not supposed to get lightsabers in my eye!"

[–]khelemvor 8 points9 points ago

Luke's first thought: Can my penis go in here?

Don't look in to the operational end of the device.

Go away, nobody cares.

[–]DarbyBartholomew -4 points-3 points ago

I'd never seen it. I enjoyed it. I upvoted it.

[–]Ericwh2827 2 points3 points ago

Your choice in title made me cringe.

[–]InvisibleSolid 1 point2 points ago

Although it's not very good I agree, it beats the hell out of "Stupidity Level: Lightsaber" or some other stupid meme title name.

[–]theseanfrench 7 points8 points ago

Obi Wan gives zero fucks about wether the offspring of the second most evil man in universe kills himself by being stupid. Plus killing Luke and Leia probably not a bad idea considering that training a 9 year old Aniken against their teaching eventually brought down a 1000 year republic. So training moody teenager Luke maybe not a great long run decision.

[–]Vorokar 3 points4 points ago

I just figured he'd shrug and find someone who isn't stupid enough to kill themselves with a lightsaber.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]poptartbrger 2 points3 points ago

He is 19 in the beginning of the first movie. He and Leia were born in 19 BBY and the movie starts at 0 BBY, or 0 ABY.

Source, info is at 19 BBY

[–]Highlighter_Freedom 2 points3 points ago

I dunno. I mean, the empire seemed pretty heavily modeled on the Nazis, and they were pretty quick about things. They didn't win, but 2 decades seems a reasonable time-frame to be in-control but still fighting a resistance.

[–]CODDE117 0 points1 point ago

Nazis? They felt more like the Romans. Palpy took over during a time of war, never gave power back, turned the Republic into an Empire. Sounds very much like them.

[–]Highlighter_Freedom 0 points1 point ago

Sure, later on (prequels) they definitely got a very Roman feel. In the original trilogy, though, they felt much more Nazi-ish.

[–]CODDE117 1 point2 points ago

I gotcha. Yeah, I do see that.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Jibbs74 4 points5 points ago

The actor who portrayed Obi-Wan was 63 when the first movie came out.

[–]CODDE117 1 point2 points ago

No, see, the Empire already had almost total control over all the planets. Palpatine simply turned the Republic into an Empire. All the Senators, save a few, were completely in favor of this, and the war had already been pretty much won, so all of the CIS planets were also under their control.

[–]theseanfrench 0 points1 point ago

idk but I figure that if he's doing chores at his uncles farm he's probably not that old.

[–]webchimp32 1 point2 points ago

In the novel I believe he says something like "that's the largest power crystal I've ever seen".

[–]LostChildinSnow 1 point2 points ago

Obi wan's face shows the disdain

[–]Urban_Savage 0 points1 point ago

He almost kills himself and Old Ben several times in the first few moments of turning that thing on, and nobody even flinches.

[–]Riederbirk 0 points1 point ago

So, what you're saying is that a sword with an efficient range of about 1.2m (4 feet) is the most dangerous weapon in the entire world. I see.

[–]braceforimpact 0 points1 point ago

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no substitute for a good blaster at your side.

[–]goomonkey 0 points1 point ago

If I were Luke and my dad was Obi-Wan, He would have slapped me in the back of the head and told me to pull my head out of my ass.

[–]stanfan114 0 points1 point ago

Obi Wan has a wide stance.

[–]monty477178 0 points1 point ago

[–]CtrlC_plus_CtrlV -1 points0 points ago

I thought the death star was a wee bit more dangerous.

[–]vxx 5 points6 points ago

Repost

[–]Kintali -2 points-1 points ago

How many times can this be re-posted?

[–]bobdolespole -1 points0 points ago

3rd or 4th posting of this?

[–]martydee11 -1 points0 points ago

Nice not a repost!!!

[–]McFro -1 points0 points ago

Relax guys, the safety is on.

[–]xbenxspire -1 points0 points ago

Am I the only one around here who has seen this reposted twice (maybe more) already?

[–]MCOscar1414 -1 points0 points ago

repost feel the wrath of my downvote!
