I was a little disappointed that the article did not explain why the Death Star gun control room looks like a 20th Century Earth based (North American at that, although it might've been shot at Pinewood Studio in fact) television studio control room.
I am just dying to know why!
And that "why" should be read with readers thinking of Nancy Kerrigan pleading the word on national television a decade + ago.
