I wonder how many families of officers resided in the Death Star.

They probably had at least a large town worth of family members of officers and troopers, not to mention the catering and sanitation staff.

And the logistics department. The people working the comms and pushing the dials. Also the electricians and welders and engineers and on-board counselors.

There were children and schools for those children and teachers in those schools, and families of those teachers.

And then Luke murdered them all.

Like I'm not saying it wasn't justified. This was a WMD that killed billions of innocents and could kill billions more.

But the movie acts like it didn't house at least several thousands innocents as well.

Like this was a pure victory of good over evil and everyone on the Death Star was a Tarkin-level sadistic despot. And not just an ordinary person lost among the millions in a giant deadly machine (both figuratively and literally)

For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"

Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....

They what

Yeah, I don't get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing.... Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, "Ooh, time for lil snack!"

See also: there is a feeling of "oh, I need to pee" that happens before "fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom"

I read this and was like, "this can't be real" and then I looked for sources and like--

"This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full.  To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning."
