They were like 'Why are we wasting our money on this damn bloody thing? It is a waste of resources, we are better off making massive fleets of warships'.Īnd again, this damn thing died in 10 minutes to 12 X-Wings and a wookieĭon't forget the Galaxy Gun, that was another good one and far more practical. Meanwhile literally everyone else in the Imperial Military, including Vader himself, were opposed to this. Honestly, the only people who even wanted this shit in the first place were Palpatine (to appease his ego and because he gets off on that shit), Tarkin (cuz he genuinely believed weapons like this were needed), and those other admirals from the board meeting in ANH.
If that's the case, then why wasn't it mentioned in the first Aftermath book when Pandeon wants to go on the offensive against the 'New Republic'? If they really had a weapon like this, then I can't imagine the Empire getting the shaft that badly before the Force is Asleep came about.Įither way, can we fucking stop with the giant balls of planet destroying death already? Seriously, we have fucking done this 3 times in a god damn row with these movies and it has failed every single time.
