I think we will eventually find out that these tend to exist in pairs, traveling in opposite directions.

If only we could harness this energy to make a cheap 50" oled display...

Duel stars tend to eat each other up in accretion discs rather than hurl. What would cause one to throw the other away with such force that it races across a gaseous field at high velocity?
As far as Newtonian physics, what sent the star traveling in the first place at speeds relatively faster than surrounding matter? After all, the stars that are moving are at high velocity odds with the surrounding environment.
The normal thing for a star to do when confronted by energy is to explode. Supernova remnants then disperse into space and provide seeds for new stars. But what would cause a star to act as if it had been destroyed and yet remain intact?

In fact - I wonder what percent of information believed to be true in any century continues to be believed as true in the next, and therefore how much of what we now believe true is perishable? Like if you graphed the half-life of "facts" over a thousand years, it would look a lot worse than the 2008 stock market.
Add to that the fact that rate of scientific discovery is accelerating, the rate at which things believed to be true turn out to be not so true is also accelerating.
After all, wasn't it only around 100 years ago that people believed ours was the only galaxy, and only a few years ago that people realized the vast amount of energy and mass in the universe is unaccounted for by any known particle?

Also, there are cannon batteries so, contrary to what you may have heard, it will not be anything like bulls-eying womprats in a T-16 Skyhopper. In fact, it will be radically different.
Finally, do not turn off your targeting computer. You will be traveling very fast and must hit a small target. If you fail, this base will be destroyed and the Empire will be able to continue to oppress the Galaxy. Hundreds of thousands of billions of people are counting on you. We do not "go with our gut". I don't want to discourage the freedom to practice religion freely but this mission is not the one to practice using the Force.

Until you get older and get some crows' feet, then I might lose interest.

As soon as this mission involves vaporators and moisture farming, I'll ask for your opinion. Until then, keep your shaggy blond opinions to yourself.
Which reminds me - if anyone has any friends who can help, please speak up now. We will be very busy with trying to manage which wings of fighters will need to provide coverage. I don't want to suddenly see a surprise craft pop up on radar making a beeline for the trench. I've got enough aggravation keeping an eye on the DEATH STAR and don't need the stress of some buckaroo coming out of nowhere saving the day.

I believe that the force does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart
And the force will go on and on

I must confess a certain fondness for him. His quadruple-chin makes my corduroy uniform feel all tight. To help you cover Porkins is Token Black. He doesn't talk, his piloting skills are fair to middling and his helmet obscures his face. He's your wingman on the "Protecting Porkins" mission.
If Jek doesn't come back, I'll see to it that you get assigned to study the fertility of Hothian mammals. You'll be spending your days elbow-deep in steamy tauntaun snatch.

As for the insults aimed at the galactic association of Womprats... They will most certainly not be helping in this operation now... and the womprat leader (read womprat king) just had a large single tear Pikachu style.
My hair in no way resembles any Scooby Doo characters and I find the accusation not unlike your lower intestine, stinky...
If you see anything on your radar shaped like [img.photobucket.com] this. It's me doing my part for the galaxy…

Get checked out by the medical droid before suiting up. Kenobi was a noted pedophile and probably had about 23 different STDs from banging Tusken raiders. Judging by your appearance, I suspect your mitichlorian count is off the chart. Please have it taken care before your balls fall off.
Now then, where was I before Blondie the Farmboy interrupted with his amateur observations of the hierarchy of desert vermin?

You do realize that 1 out of every 10 Tusken raider has Bespin crotch-rot, right?

While you're at it, please take Captain Solo's wookie for walkies. He's been doing the potty dance for 10 minutes and had Kesselian curry last night. Talk about "spice run"; Kesselian curry could peel the paint off a bulk cruiser from 12 parsecs.
We're out of plastic bags for his shit so you'll have to use your hands. And if you don't get it all, you'll be scraping out the trash compactor.

Now then, back to Jek Porkins and his sexy neck-beard...
