What Star Wars Tech would you want to own?
I'm watching on History Channel International "Star Wars Tech."

What SW tech would I want?
The Death Star.

And that thermal exhaust port would have a grate on it! :-)

3. I want a carbonite hibernator
But only if carbonite hibernation wouldn't cause any pain to the being that was hibernated. Think of the commercial applications!

* Encase your kids in carbonite before you move, crate them up, and thaw 'em back out when you get their new rooms set up.
* Can't find a babysitter? Encase 'em in carbonite!
* Cat have kittens, but you don't want to give them away? Encase them in carbonite and thaw them out as your adult cats die off. You can even put the kitties on the mantel as both a decoration and a warning to the others. "See? You can be replaced!"
* Grandpa's got six months to live, but his World War II 75th Anniversary ship's reunion is nine months away? No problem! Encase him in carbonite until just before the big weekend!
* Mother-in-law spending a month at your place? Get one of your beer buddies to encase you in carbonite! (Don't ask your wife to do it; she might not thaw you back out.)

You could even start a chain of carbonite encasement stores. Call them Black Brickin' Problem Lickin' Carbonite Encasement Centers.

5. Repulsorlift technology.


No more worrying about skidding out on one of the Northwest's many, many rainy days (like today!)

10. It's not necessarily the dark side.
Yoda made purple lightning in a later episode.

14. Whatever powers all that stuff, if it's not too radioactive or toxic.
Sadly, it's probably plutonium or something worse. In that far away galaxy any living thing that couldn't take the radiation is long extinct. This also explains all the goofy looking life forms, especially Jar Jar Binks.

15. The ships are powered by Ewok blood and Wookie tears.
So really all you need to do is kill Ewoks and Wookies.
