Hey, why did the Death Star have that small circular... thing that looks like an eye, anyway?
Isn't that where the planet killing laser beam came from?
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I'm looking over
A bunch of boulders
That was Alderaan before . . .
ETA: Does anyone else remember this filk? I'm not sure where it came from, but I know it's from somewhere.

Just makes that giant Jefferson even more unsettling.

So you remember how Princess Leia walked while in disguise, but you don't remember the Death Star's big laser of planetary doom?

You know, I used to believe that one day Star Trek would actually come true. Not the bumpy foreheads, necessarily, or (god forbid) the fashion. But the stuff, and the atitudes, and...
These days I'm thinking Futurama seems a lot more likely.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
From Gud's link above
RUSH: You know, doesn't that debunk the whole notion of human-caused climate change?
CALLER: Well, it does, and it tells us that we are only part of the issue on the planet. It's a huge planet. There's lots of water, there's lots of things happening, and you can't just pull out one single factor just to suit your purposes, which is what I think they try to do many times.
The mind, she boggles. The eyebrows, they raise. (BTW- this caller is a science teacher)

<warms up the localized version of planet killing laser>
Hee.
First came the Death Star
And then came the ray
There went my planet
All over the place . . .
Am I the only one who heard this at conventions back in the '80s? Really? 'Cause if so, I need to polish my uber-geek badge, and possibly add a ribbon of some kind.

We'll need a big breakthrough and maybe a big paradigm shift in physics if humans will ever travel between the stars. I think making intelligent machines to travel between the stars seems more likely. Humans and the baggage needed to transport present a lot of mass to accelerate.
