All good points up until the bit about the X-wings, EVERYBODY knows that X-wings can change their stabilizer foil positions for different purposes, thus the famous phrase, "Lock S-foils in attack position!"

S-foils in flight position
S-foils in attack position

....oh my god, I am such a nerd.

Upvote for hilarious parody.

Brilliant!

Wonder how far up this will get... given our plethora of conspiracy believers

Not as sharp as it should be.
All one has to do is show the footage of the original Star Wars without the "ring" explosion to prove the existence of a conspiracy.

I'll bet one of the VS conspiracy nuts can prove that Greedo shot first, too.

Isn't this technically *comedy? At least it's clever satire.

While I appreciate the humor, (I really do!) the ring wasn't in the Death Star explosion in the original version of Star Wars. They kind of went crazy with the halo effect in the special editions adding them to all the major explosions.

I just think the proton torpedoes stopped off at the starbucks for a latte before going to the reactor. Hence the delay is perfectly reasonable.

Best 9/11 Truth parody ever.

I didn't vote up or down.

I just don't see anything funny about mocking the people who are trying to find out what actually happened on 9/11.

People forget that Bush/Cheney blocked the 9/11 investigation every step of the way.

Why?

I don't see anything funny about it.

If you're pointing out inconsistencies (s-foils, explosion ring), I think you're missing the point of the movie...

The Deathstar has a massive energy source. With such energy, modified flux coils in sync can be used to open a temporary worm hole. What we see in this video can in fact be the energy released from collapsing worm hole nano seconds after the Deathstar escaped.

@rougy: *ANY*thing can be fun. It doesn't matter if you belive conspiracy teories or not, this is a parody of one, it is well done, and it should be regarded as funny by both groups of people (i.e. the belivers and those who say they are bullshit).

if you don't find it funny is because either you don't have a sense of humor, or you really do NOT belive those theories, but you don't want to admit it to yourself.

I thought the torpedoes caused a chain reaction in the reactor, which in turn caused the explosion, right?

Good take on this persons who thinking fighting totalitarism, advantage it in growing dangerous revolutionary thinking.

Thinking than Bush is such a monster is as bad than saying is totally inocent.

Chicar, I can't understand your sentence through your grammar.

He's talking about Bush in a video with the Death Star. His comment hardly contains anything you haven't already heard sometimes

I knew it! No hokey farm boy who learned combat maneuvers plinking womp rats on some desolate backwater planet like Tatooine could have pulled off a shot like that.
What I'm surprised they haven't mentioned though is the "second shooter" theory that is rapidly gaining notoriety as people are gaining access to all the evidence. Review of holographic recordings of the event clearly demonstrates a second pair of proton torpedoes launched from a data archival tower near the exhaust port. Clearly, these torpedoes launched from aboard the Death Star itself are the ones that caused its ultimate destruction! Conspiracy!
