major issue with star wars

So I was watching star wars and the speed of the door closes is daft, didn't no-one n in the empire think having a door close that fast is incredibly dangerous at 38 seconds in.

Also why does chewie have a crossbow laser with spring arm and wire? It's not firing physical bolts so having these doesn't make sense.

Cant say I ever lost any sleep over it, I have seen it enough times but now you do mention it that door is deadly.

No health and safety in that universe.

They even have a massive planet killing space station the size of a small moon with a practically unprotected tunnel all the way from the surface to the main reactor core.
What were they thinking? no ones every going to be smart enough to think about looking there for a quick way to blow it up....

Star wars is stupid.

You guys realise it was like this because it was in the screenplay right?

Out of all the things portrayed in Star Wars, you have a problem with the speed of automated doors?

Niche.

The door to princess Leia holding cell was fast closing too, when Vader went in with the torture bot and what if hit Vader on the head, it'll cut him in two. explain that to the emperor Mr door closing designer.

Also on the walkways there are no handrails. Too stingey on a little bit of pipe on a 160km wide sphere?

You could get your lightsaber caught in those doors :eek:

Even the stormtrooper armour was ineffective against the Ewoks bow & arrows, it's amazing the Empire managed to function and control the galaxy

The events portrayed in Star Wars were a long time ago. Health and safety at work is a relatively new concept.

If that winds you up, don’t watch any more of the films.

They are called blast doors for reason. When you are in outer space and you have a breach you do not want the door close slowly. Especially in a command post.

As for the second point, wookies are walking bears. You expect some sanity in a race who hasn't master the common language yet?

Ignore me. I was thinking of the other moon sized battle station with a photon torpedo sized gap.

Photon is star trek
Proton is star wars
