Also should a Pic of a toilet be considered NSFW?

The little one is impulse power, the big one is warp speed. Press both for Stargate.
Make it so number two
Gnnnhhhh ...engage! Sound of water splashing
Indeed.
You can also turn the knob to enter the nether for 8 times faster travel.
Yeah but which one engages the hyperdrive?
Only a filthy Star Wars nerd would want to use hyperdrive!
/uj Star Wars has some good and interesting themes, and none of it has to do with FTL technology. If you want a superior version of the same technology with more depth and dramatic implications, look at Halo. If you want what George Lucas was trying and failing to plagiarise, look at Dune. If you want to arbitrarily move around at whatever speed the plot demands or instantly, look at Stargate. And if you want a military fantasy, look at Star Trek. Hyperdrive is an inferior compromise between all four of these better written FTL techs that fails to execute any one idea well. Which is perfectly fine, because Star Wars isn't about hyperdrive. It's about taoist/buddhist philosophy, political commentary on fascism, and the power of individuals in the face of overwhelming systems and impossible odds. None of that has anything to do with how fast a ship moves, the hyperdrive is just a plot device that lets us skip the boring stuff and have more of the stuff Star Wars is actually good at.
