Subject: So, why didn't the Empire shield the exhaust port?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Doesn't this seem a little strange? A spot that is so sensitive that it could blow up the most advanced weapon in the Empire's arsenal, and it wasn't protected. Why? It would be like Germany leaving Hitler's bed room unguarded during WWII.

So, I think they had an insurance claim, but I could be wrong. Your theories?

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
-Nietzsche

Because the death star wouldn't have had a weakness, and the rebel alliance would have been crushed and humiliated.

Nobody wants to watch that. That's a terrible plot.

Sex is a sensation caused by temptation, a guy sticks his location into a girl's destination to increase population for the next generation. Do you get my explanation, or do you need a demonstration?

There was literally one person in the whole universe who could have made that shot. The Empire thought Murphy's Law didn't apply to them.

Damn, that's a cold-ass honky.

No it isn't. Getting the Death Star plans to the Rebellion was an important plot point.

I was thinking this, plus the exhaust has to get out, so covering it may be bad for the engine.

It would have been more feasible for them to have had to forcibly board the Death Star and set the self destruct mechanism. Then at least it seems somewhat feasible. To say that they overlooked something that one shot could blow the whole place up... Well, that seems ridiculous.

Either way, it's not like they just flew in without resistance and dropped a bomb in the hole. The turrets were there for a reason. Both of Luke's wingmen were also taken down, if I remember correctly.

It was an aesthetic choice by the architect.

There was most likely little to no architect's working on the Death Star, only engineers.

If I shoot the tailpipe of your car, your car doesn't explode.

Design it in such a way that one hot won't fatally damage the station.

If you launch a ROCKET into the exhaust and it climbs back up into the engine, I'm pretty sure you'd do a lot of damage.

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

Also, srsly? Since when does an exhaust pipe connect straight from the engine? Is the Death Star chimney for Christ's sake?

I highly doubt that the Death Star is a super sized car.

Nor would anything the Death Star is made out of be similar.
