Did Starfleet tender the low bid, or what?
Given that we’re talking about a lava refinery (or whatever) that is probably worth millions, you would think a smidgen of redundancy would be built into the system, right?
So we’re supposed to just accept that a single swipe with a light-saber through a single console will cause a massive girder array to hoot like a herd of wounded M?makil and trundle itself into the lava?
And naturally, the room containing such vital equipment is used to warehouse a gang of corrupt politicos. “What does this switch do, Nute?”
Have these people never heard of detents? Emergency power cutouts? FUSE BOXES?
Yeah, right.
Of course, the rot only went deeper with time. How else to acount for the loss of “Executor” at the Battle of Endor?
A single A-wing snubship hit the bridge and the entire ship was destroyed.
The ship was twelve point eight kilometers long and they couldn’t find room for an auxiliary bridge. Some design philosophy.
I guess we know where Leah Brahms ended up.

Beware of The 9 Evil Lesbian Invaders From Another Galaxy by Dr. Wanda Khlausthyne.
That’s the only thing you could find wrong with the movie?
How about the fact that the “good guys” were opposed to democracy and due process (we have to kill him because the Senate would still vote him into power even knowing he’s a Sith Lord, and the courts wouldn’t convict him of anything) while the “bad guys” aren’t actually shown doing anything wrong, except for fighting back after the good guys try to assassinate the Chancellor??
I’m all for moral ambiguity — but in my action-adventure, I want to know that the bad guys are bad. Jabba the Hut is shown feeding slaves to monsters for fun. The Emperor and Darth Vader turn an ineffective faux-democratic aristocracy into a constitutional monarchy, and abolish slavery. Oh, the humanity!
Um…hello? Slaughtering younglings? NO political ambiguity can justify this. How about just stealing them away and brainwashing them to the Sith tenets? Nah. Slaughtering them isn’t evil. Puh-lease.
