[QUOTE="Ian_C, post: 376466, member: 6115"] Honest question about Starkiller Base. Forget about the comparisons to the other Death Stars. Love or hate the movie, we've all made that connection, and most point to that as being a weak spot in the film. Anyway, this thing gains its power by sucking all of the energy from a star system's star. I guess I have two questions about this. First, why is it only considered fully charged when the sun goes dark? Different stars are different sizes, so does that mean Starkiller Base has different charges depending on its target? The bigger question I have though is why do they bother using that energy to wipe out the planets served by that sun? Life is dependent on the heat/light of its local star, so wouldn't just snuffing the star out be enough to kill anyone and everyone on the surrounding planets? Blowing them up just becomes overkill, doesn't it? Again, this isn't me being a "hater". They are honest questions about the way it works that didn't add up to me. Ian [/QUOTE]
