Well, nobody said you had to participate with us. In fact, numbers greater than "two" are something my wife is definitely not down for.

Unfortunately, three days before the DS2's shipment of railings were designated to arrive, the Galactic Railing Corporation went bankrupt. The railing-filled freighters that were headed for the DS2 were turned around, and handed over to GR Co's debtors, from which they created the famous Hanging Garden of Railings on Corellia.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Death Star
Maybe Vader had something to do with it...

"No... no! You're fine, my master... just... fine... it is a long way down, isn't it..."

I just think of the two guys working on the console in the superlaser conduit.
"Don't lean your chair back like that, Jeff. Harry used to do that."
"Who's Harry?"
"The last guy who had your job."

Re: Ship of the Week: The Death Star
Funny enough, the Emperor's tower on the DSII had railings all over the place. Where everywhere else didn't seem to.

And it also had that pit that led down to the bottom of his tower-not the power core, mind you. Just the bottom of the tower. Did he practice sky-diving from there or something?

Re: Ship of the Week: The Death Star
Railings aren't 100% safe - don't forget the poor bugger inside the shield generator complex in ROTJ who tells Han to freeze, only to be knocked over the railings by a bag of explosives.

Re: Ship of the Week: The Death Star
Actualy, it's all down to a simple misunderstanding. When it was being designed, Vader said he wanted his troops to be constantly on alert and always on the edge.
The designers, unfortunately, took that last portion a tad too litteraly.
