| Feb 25, 2014 at 20:27 | comment | added | Weltschmerz | @Matt What, being Star Wars geeks makes them blind to the fact that it's a MOVIE, and that it doesn't need to be consistent (especially in its physics, like what's up with explosions sounding in a vacuum, or what's the nifty little geek workaround to this)? | |
