I love how with a single invention they got rid of guns and energy weapons (while creating a highly specialized form of edged weapons combat), created an entire merchant class around space travel and turned entire planets into a federation of feudal "Houses". <br /><br />THAT'S canon....mikeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13057701313718589322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-29487597840768936972014-12-11T13:39:54.317-05:002014-12-11T13:39:54.317-05:00Huh.

Seems quite silly to me, but then I've only ever seen the first three Star Wars movies, and that was back when they first came out.
