Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

5th Place February 09 It is hard to believe beaver hunting in the back woods could earn glory. But, in the first half of the ninteenth century the Rocky Mountains remained an uncharted land where the elements were harsh and the grizzly bears and indians prevelent. These scruffy and gruff frontiers men lived on tobacco, coffee, and pemmican. They ran through the woods with moccasins, hawken rifles and bowie knifes risking their lives for the beaver hat. Life wasn't all bad, they always traded for the hottest squas, did whatever they wanted, and ate 100% organic, nonGMO food. The stories are thick and deep, from the legend of "Liver Eating" Johnson to the balad of Grizzley Adams. One of my favorite highlights is the tale of Boone Helm, who, in the middle of a five hundred mile trip accross dead-of-winter Montana, was captured by Blackfoot indians, stripped to the waist and bound with leather straps in a teepee. He managed to chew through his bindings, knocked out the guard with a two finger jab, took the guard's knife, scalped him, cut off his leg, and disappeared into the woods still half naked. Weeks later he arrived at the cabin of Del Gue, 200 miles away, having survived on only the leg of his former captor. That's about as bad-assed as any story I've ever heard.

The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.
reply
It should have...

I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail

I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.

yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now

You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.

This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years

I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.

don't forget about killing your captor, escaping naked into the Montana Winter and living of the meat of your captors leg which your had previously sawn off, in a bear cave. Now that is awesome.
reply
I concur. Canoes and beaver pelts are way more awesome than over-hyped Star Craft tournaments. These guys caught salmon with their bare hands and spat the lead out of the venison they killed. Awesome!
