Fridge Logic applied to A New Hope
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010So I got to thinking yesterday: at the end of Star Wars: A New Hope, Luke just blows up the Death Star’s power core, right? Which led to the space station’s instantaneous atomization-by-explosion (or instantaneous atomization-by-goofy-looking-explosion in the Special Edition from the 90s).
But if all he’s destroying is the power core, shouldn’t the immediate result just have been all the lights in the Death Star turning off? Followed by the slow, torturous suffocation of all crew members over the next few hours. And, presuming the core was based on some sort of nuclear power, all the air and metal surfaces on the ship becoming radioactive over the next few days/weeks.
Man, Luke was a dick.
