Eddie Izzard and the Death Star Canteen done with Legos has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine.

Boosting this quality contribution up in the Hot Listing - declared quality by ChaosEngine.

My adult self is impressed with the animation.

My inner 6-year-old is screaming "WANT WANT WANT! It must be mine!!!!". Unfortunately, he has access to my credit card (edit: holy fuck... it's FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS?!? Inner 6 year old will have to wait)

That really is a *quality set, it's just missing one crucial element.... the canteen.

Or, the clothing is tight because most of it was designed for people with much less up there than she has. It sounds like she has a similar problem that fat people probably have, only it's just one part of her body.
I wonder if part of the problem is that to get enough material to cover those fun bags means the rest of you looks like you're wearing a circus tent.
So it seems a bit unfair to accuse her of having a pathological need to show off her tits when pretty much nothing short of a portable sports dome will ever really conceal those twin death stars.

There was a lot of posturing from Star Wars fans (from stardestroyer.net, I think) for a long time, with exaggerations about the power of imperial starships. However, some fans have done an extensive (and pretty ridiculous) amount of work to make a lengthy comparison, that, while only as accurate as can be interpreted from the provided material, does come out in strong favor towards Star Trek technology:

So yes, NdGT is correct, and really, you don't need to do the extensive research the fans did to confirm that. Logistics in a post-scarcity civilization alone gives a significant advantage.
But this is to be expected. When you have a TV show as focused on science and technology as Star Trek, it will certainly excel.
Meanwhile, Star Wars isn't supposed to be about high end technology. For them the technology is only there to highlight the story. The charm of the Millenium Falcon is not that it's a god-like ship that can mop the floor with everyone else, but that it's some guy's souped up junker that's full of surprises. The Death Star isn't the ultimate weapon, but a weapon of fear. (A weapon that destroys excessive amounts of available resources is impractical for anything else, and that especially includes Starkiller Base.)
And if there really needs to be some sort of sci-fi-peen competition, you can go the complete nonsense route with Doctor Who, where one Dalek could probably conquer both the Trek and Wars universes with minimal effort.
Or the overkill route with the Culture, where wiping the rest out would be an idle task, pursued for entertainment.
Star Wars fans just need to chill and embrace their universe of junkers and quaint technology. Star Trek fans have already embraced the fact that their universe isn't about action and explosions. (No, we don't include the Abramsverse.)

This is wrong. The first Death Star was 160 km in Diameter while the second was over 900 km in diameter.

And yes that's how much of a Star Wars geek I am.

In Return, at one point the Falcon is flying away from the new Death Star, being chase by dozens of tie fighters. In a compositing error, the Falcon flies up at the camera, and you can see a couple tie fighters "through" the falcon.

The energy would decay and would fizzle out eventually, for a pretty far range i would guess. Theoretically, the Death Star beam could go out for several thousands of years if it didn't hit anything.

Though for the game, there is a set range for laser blasts and they vanish at the range.

Unless you're a total dweeb, you know the Star Trek universe would totally win. Transporter, photon torpedo: bye-bye Death Star!

The Enterprise could so totally take out the Death Star.

I don't understand why the Enterprise was just sticking around the planet after their whale abduction.

Surely their sensors detected the power of the Death Star...

For such a beautifully rendered video, that explosion was shit. Should have overlayed the "enhanced" Death Star explosion from the Lucas "enhanced" Episode 4. Would please everyone.
