The Death Star was a minion!

[Asmor]

The Death Star was clearly a minion, if you think about it. Sure, it's a moon-sized space station, but that just means that it's got lots of armor and shirks off most attacks. All those hits blowing up stuff on the surface were actually misses, and caused no damage. But in the end, it just took one actual hit to drop it.

Alderaan.

I think Aldebaran is also a planet or star name, but was it Star Wars or Star Trek or the real world? Or is it a dog race?

The Death Star is really not a minion. It wasn't so much that it took only one shot to kill it, but more like it had an Achilles heel, which was the only way to take it down. It probably also required a critical hit to actually blow it up.

Now the real minions in Star Wars were the storm troopers. These guys had so much armor on, but it did them almost no good when hit with a simple blaster. Man, did the Empire make that stuff out of tin foil or what?

I think it was FR. Or was that Menzobaran?

ooopss -mixing my planets/stars there. I think ldebaren is a real star - and isn't it where some Cthulhoid monster lives? I don't know.....

Are you sure that the Death Star did not just fail it's fortitude save after getting hit with a Coup de Grace?

 

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Aldebaran exists. Didn't find _anything_ on google for ldebaren (copy & pasted your spelling). I guess, in a few days, there will be one link!

The Death Star was actually like a 3.0 Rakasha, and Proton Torpedoes are like Blessed Crossbow Bolts...

So, the Death Star was a zombie?

Yeah, pretty much.
