    It worked. It destroyed a couple of things as seen in Rogue One. Given the guy in charge and the pressure he was under, testing got reduced. Totally realistic when you think about it.

    Yes specially the part when the security guard asked him for the identification and the droid told him "It's not necessary" and smashed his head.

    Loved that they used the freedom of it being a standalone film to kill off the entire cast. Pretty powerful and very un-hollywood when you're sat waiting to see how they're going to get out of this and then they don't. When the droid went I was like "well that's sad but it's only a droid, brave decision"... then as the rest of the film rolled out...

    Adds a lot of gravitas to IV just what price was paid.
    Also explains what a lot of people saw as a significant plot flaw in IV - the shove a torpedo in here to kill the whole space station weakness.

    Yes, I agree, I didn't saw the "Star Wars" but I saw the "Empire Striks back" and there was to many muppets for my tast and I gave up to follow the rest. Comparing ESB with TFA I prefere TFA too.

    You oppose a force.
    I suppose it's a lack of practice; if all you're doing is letting yourself get wound up on an internet forum, that won't help either.
