<VV> Star Wars Day -- stupid!

[Joel McGregor]

It seems pretty realistic.  Isn't that what happens today?

Now, have any of you Star Wars fans noticed that here we have entire
civilizations that have achieved space travel, which involves rocketry, so they
presumably can use missiles to attack each other, yet they're still using
direct-fire weapons? How stupid is THAT?
