    Maybe Anakin pointed the Death Star in his face to check it out after it was made. Like father like son.

      I’d be far from the first person to point out that the shot the planet killer beam right past a couple of operators with no guardrails or anything. It isn’t even clear how they got up there in the first place, frankly. You can even see them flinch when the beam goes past them.

      Clearly the Star Wars universe has never been big on health and safety.

        They need GOSHA. Galactic Occupationaly Health and Safety Association. I mean, they had a Trade Federation, wth. I guess we can chalk it up to being a long long time ago when safety wasn’t as mandatory.

          Funnily enough the Trade Federation was the one secretly ran by Palpatine to stir up trouble to seize power right?

            Yeah, eventually it was. The last leader of the Trade Federation was a co-conspirator of Darth Sidious’ (they had no idea it was Palpatine). Eventually they just got used and eaten up by the Empire.
