  1. I made a dumb decision!! i forgot anything with a 10 in the title is watch
    mojo and that really annoying voice of the narrator dam she is annoying

  3. in rogue one it explains that the exhaust port was put there by an imperial
    scientist that wants to help the rebellion

  4. Good thing to know that in Rogue One (Spoilers) it was deliberately put
    there by the man designed the fucking thing in hopes that the Rebellion
    could use it to keep the empire at a stale mate.

  6. Uhm.. Armageddon did take astronauts to pilot the spacecrafts, and took the
    drillers to operate the drills. An astronaut couldn’t gain the years of
    experience they had during training.

  7. I disagree with #8. I haven’t seen the movie, so I might not have a leg to
    stand on; however, we don’t decide on who to love. It just happens.

    And I’d replace #2’s movie with the first movie. If they didn’t create the
    dinosaurs, then no one would’ve died.

  8. the dumbest thing in star wars IV is not the exhaust port nor the
    (retconned) intented design flaw
    M.E.D.A.L.S
    save it for after you won the war, not just one battle, okay?

  10. An exhaust port that’s only 2m wide on a space station the size of a small
    moon, guarded by hundreds of turrets and TIE fighters. Success coming only
    when taken by a newbie Force-wielder after 2 failed attempts beforehand,
    possible only because the primary engineer designed the port to initiate a
    chain reaction following a perfect shot from a starfighter traveling at
    high velocity under duress, saved at the last moment by a scoundrel who let
    his morality get the better of him at the perfect time to allow him to join
    the fight and save the one and only pilot in the attack able to access the
    Force…..yeah…seems like the port was a horrible idea…
