The Internet appears to have awakened to the surprise that the trench run that serves as the climax of the original Star Wars<\/i> movie doesn’t take place along the Death Star’s equatorial trench<\/a>, but rather takes place along a smaller north-south trench.<\/p>\n

I have to say that I was not fooled into thinking that it was the equatorial trench. But I was fooled anyway.<\/p>\n

Based on the graphics in the briefing sequence, I was led to believe that the attack route was a dive into the Death Star’s core. I mean, look at it: The line goes from the north pole straight down to what appears to be the center of the Death Star.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I kept waiting for the fighters to stop putzing around on the surface and make their final dive into the core, but it never happened.<\/p>\n

Oh well. I enjoyed the movie anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
