Is it weird I found the planet killing Star Destroyers logical within the lore? It feels a natural progression from Death Star, not unlike the evolution and mass production of atomic weapons.
I find Starkiller Base more egregious because it’s big thing is “it’s bigger”. It becomes so big it’s unbelievable, and it’s a very stupid concept to make yourself a bigger target after two failed Death Stars.
I assume that the power to destroy a planet would need to have something to stabilize it, so a giant Star Killer, that harnesses the power of a sun to destroy planets kind of makes sense. Putting this same type of laser on a much smaller ship that can blow up planets…seems like it wouldn’t make as much sense. How are the ships able to harness that kind of energy and stay mobile?
It feels like an evolution of Dr. Evil’s idea of Sharks with frickin’ lasers on their heads.
