ON THE IMPLAUSIBILITY OF THE DEATH STAR’S TRASH COMPACTOR. ›
BY JOSHUA TYREE
I maintain that the trash compactor onboard the Death Star in Star Wars is implausible, unworkable, and moreover, inefficient.
The Trash Compactor Debate turns on whether the Death Star ejects its trash into space. I, for one, believe it does. Though we never see the Death Star ejecting its trash, we do see another Empire ship, the so-called Star Destroyer, ejecting its trash into space. I therefore see no reason to suspect that Empire protocol dictating that trash be ejected into space would not apply equally to all Empire spacecraft, including the Death Star.

I recently discovered McSweeny’s (about ten years later than the rest of the internet) and I have been absolutely delighted with what I’ve seen so far (as if my opinion matters). This article (?) is absolutely amazing and definitely worth reading if you’ve ever watched the Star Wars. And if you haven’t watched Star Wars, I would advise you to reassess your life because you’re wasting your time “reading” my blog when you should really be wasting your time in a galaxy far, far away.
