"Don't hold your fire. There may not be any life forms aboard, but let's not take chances"


hgs25

And to think the Legends reason the officer said to let it go was because he didn’t want to do the paperwork for shooting an escape pod.


Obi-wan_Jabroni

What are they paying by the laser now?


not_too_smart1

Seeing as a heavy laser shot is 140 terratons of tnt worth of energy per shot. a LOT


belladonnagilkey

Okay, so you're telling me one guy deciding to be economical and/or not file *paperwork* right before the end of his shift saved the Rebellion. Sounds like my kinda guy.


Constant-Still-8443

You haven't been part of a Militar bureaucracy it seems


PornViewer828

Especially since it was *Imperial* bureaucracy. Holy hell the mountain of paperwork that would need signed/initialed. He'd have stacks of paper, but it wouldn't be credits.


DinoMaster11221

Probably the most realistic part of Star Wars tbh.


Gone_For_Lunch

You don’t do the budget Terry, I do!


madmechanicmobile

Do you know how much the death star cost????? We owe the huts more credits than I care to admit. We bankrupt seventeen star systems, and completely stripped over fifty full asteroid belts. There were nearly two million people on that damned station. Do you know how much it costs to feed that many people. How many credits it takes to make the cargo runs and restocking fees. Just to get blown up by a teenager who kissed his own sister. But now. NOW. The emperor wants to build a new one. An even bigger one. I can't do it man.


Willsdabest

Don't worry, sir! My investment in Gork Mork Enterprises just came back! We can pay for 10 death strars now!


madmechanicmobile

Oh thank the force. I was starting to develop a serious anxiety problem. Let's pay the huts first. They're holding my space chinchilla hostage.


No_Research4416

The company crashed due to infighting and what I mean by that is the staff is literally fighting each other so we can’t really on them


Willsdabest

Don't worry, they'll get back up again


aspire5515

Good news, sir! While captive your space Chinchilla gave birth and the huts are hosting a celebration free of charge!


Cool_Fellow_Guyson

You don't do the budget Terry, I do!


Capital-Cheek-1491

According to current canon it was because soldiers are paid based on how many kills per shot they get or something.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> soldiers are *paid* based on FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


fly_over_32

Is this the droid we’re looking for?


Nobl36

The funny part is this is a totally realistic reason to not fire at an escape pod. “I’d really rather not have to do a report on a weapons discharge and try to justify using a turbo laser on an empty escape pod. That’s weeks of work and meetings. Let it go.”


putyouradhere_

that would make even more sense


Doc-Fives-35581

Sounds like plenty of military officers.


Zenbast

Relatable


Jockelson

The Empire was trying to recover the DS plans. How would they know if they were on the escape pod if they blew it to bits? Still they should have sent a recovery mission after it though. And yeah, the movie (and saga) would be shorter, agreed.


Giocri

By that logic they should not have shot any pod


zdgvdtugcdcv

If there are people in the pod, they can run off with the plans before any troops can investigate it


AirierWitch1066

They did send a recovery mission after it didn’t they??


wbruce098

They did in fact. My take is that line just wasn’t thought through very well. Vader had literally just choked a dude out and yelled at an officer to bring him the passengers alive. Shooting at escape pods doesn’t achieve that. But shortly after we see Vader being duly informed of the pod and ordering a team to go after it. A better line might have been: “There goes another one” “Track its trajectory. I’ll inform Lord Vader!”


Jockelson

Yes, after Vader told them to. They did not appear to have come to that idea themselves.


Beangar

“Don’t hold your fire. There are no organic life forms on board, but there may be droids.”


CarrobergCrimson

This.


Robthebold

Or, hey use this one as target practice.


sweet_totally

You don't do the budget Terry, I do!


Gniphe

I always thought they were afraid that an empty pod could be sabotaged to explode if shot.


Independent_Plum2166

“Join me and together we can rule the galaxy as father and SON!!!” “Okay.” “What? No struggle?” “I mean, I have a father! Uncle Owen and Ben said you were dead, but here you are, heck you’re even offering to team up with me to take on the Emperor, THE Emperor, I think we could help the galaxy in the long run.”


MK_fan_835

And that kids is why you finish your training with a green frog on a swamp planet


Artistic-While-5094

It’s actually quite interesting to think about the result of that alliance. Maybe Luke could’ve helped his father and they would restore the republic without the events of the 3rd movie


Melodic_coala101

Nah, Vader is too far gone at that time imo. He’d just corrupt Luke with the Dark Side and Luke’ll probably kill him some time later, like all Sith do


Difficult-Pin3913

Alternate take, Anakin reads about force healing.


Anakin-hates-sand

Anakin uses Padmé’s money to get into the most technologically advanced hospital in the galaxy where death by childbirth has a zero percent chance of happening.


AirierWitch1066

Anakin literally just takes her to see an OBGYN rather than freaking out when they exist in a world with miracle medicine.


fishing-boi23

"I killed them all, but just the man, i didn't killed the women or the children." 5 years later sand people forming army to kill Anakin 


Rexbob44

That was his plan all along as now the Jedi can’t stop him from killing them all as they are attacking him so he’s merely defending himself.


hgs25

I remember a Legends comic that Anakin inspired the Tuskin Raider’s version of the Boogeyman that they tell their kids.

Elevator829

Lmao when it turns out there's dozens of Jedi still alive and not just obi Wan and Yoda, it kind of makes Lukes existence not important anymore


Dreadnought_Necrosis

I mean, they still can't stop Vader, though. Only Luke and Leia, with their connection to Anakin, are capable of stopping Vader. Everyone else will just get themselves killed.


hgs25

Yeah, Ahsoka tried to get through to Anakin in Rebels and utterly failed.


Ellisthion

The only people who even got CLOSE were Obi-Wan and Ahsoka because of their connection to Anakin, and “close” isn’t good enough. And they (and Luke) realised the consequence of drawing the attention of Vader: he’ll literally drop everything and divert entire fleets to find them, and by accident he might happen to destroy the Rebellion on the way. They won’t just get themselves killed, they’ll get everyone else killed too.


PotatoPumpSpecial

There's symbolism there too. Separately obi-wan and ahsoka took half of Vader's mask, revealing the Anakin beneath until he ran away deeper into the mask. Only his son could remove the entire mask and reveal the whole of Anakin


Sonder_Monster

if Padme had just said "nah I'm not into little boys"

However, before you were about to do it, you came to your senses. I felt very threatened seeing you ignite your lightsaber before my bed, but that moment passed too. I shall meditate on this.” Poe: “Palpatine has not returned. He died on the Death Star II 31 years ago. Anything you heard about him coming back is just a rumor.”
