John Scalzi's Guide to the Most Epic FAILs in Star Wars Design

Submitted by mummi on Fri, 2009-08-21 11:33

Hér er snilldar gagnrýni á alls kyns hönnunaratriði í Star Wars myndum sem eru kjánaleg, allt frá geislasverðunum (engin skjöldur fyrir hendurnar) yfir í Dauðastjörnuna sjálfa:

http://blogs.amctv.com/scifi-scanner/2009/08/bad-designs-in-star-wars.php

[..]

Death Star

An unshielded exhaust port leading directly to the central reactor? Really? And when you rebuild it, your solution to this problem is four paths into the central core so large that you can literally fly a spaceship through them? Brilliant. Note to the Emperor: Someone on your Death Star design staff is in the pay of Rebel forces. Oh, right, you can't get the memo because someone threw you down a huge exposed shaft in your Death Star throne room.

Bad design in Star Wars is not just limited to stuff; evolution here seems wacky, too. Three choice bits:

Sarlaac

A monstrous yet immobile creature who lives in an exposed pit in the middle of a lifeless desert, waiting for large animals to apparently feel suicidal and trek out to throw themselves in? Yeah, not so much. Not every Sarlaac can count on an intergalactic mob boss to feed it tidbits.

Höfundur þessarar færslu er John Scalzi, gaurninn á bak við hinar stórskemmtilegu Old Man's War bækur, harðsoðin geim/stríðs/framtíðarhasar sem ég mæli hjartanlega með:

With his wife dead and buried, and life nearly over at 75, John Perry takes the only logical course of action left him: he joins the army. Now better known as the Colonial Defense Force (CDF), Perry's service-of-choice has extended its reach into interstellar space to pave the way for human colonization of other planets while fending off marauding aliens. The CDF has a trick up its sleeve that makes enlistment especially enticing for seniors: the promise of restoring youth. After bonding with a group of fellow recruits who dub their clique the Old Farts, Perry finds himself in a new body crafted from his original DNA and upgraded for battle, including fast-clotting "smartblood" and a brain-implanted personal computer. All too quickly the Old Farts are separated, and Perry fights for his life on various alien-infested battlegrounds.
