That's why we need science fiction, to not be afraid of all the abhorrent and abhorrently efficient weapons the future holds for us.

And yes, Star Wars is a very perceptive choice of name on part of George Lucas.

The scary part is that we all sit on our sweaty bottoms while such things are being developed not by bad guys and good guys to fight each other over us, but by bad guys and bad guys to fight each other over us.

idk man, at no point do any two or more stars fight each other /s
