On the Implausibility of the Death Star's Trash Compactor
Sample: "Why does the trash compactor only compact trash sideways? Once ejected into space, wouldn't the flattened, living-room-sized, and extremely solid panes of trash that result from such a primitive, unidirectional trash compactor pose serious hazards for Empire starships in the vicinity?"

This is very funny.
But it's got a basic thing wrong.
"And what of the creature that lives in the trash compactor? Presumably, the creature survives because the moving walls do not extend all the way to the floor of the room, where the liquid is. After all, if the walls reached the floor, the creature would be killed each time trash is compacted."
The creature fucks off before the compactor starts. Must be through a drain or something because that's the only reason it lets go of Luke's leg. 8-B

I love this.
I'm all for the pointless dissection of implausible scenarios in popular movies. I'd like to see one about the mine in Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom next please.
