Why the empire didnt simply sent a bunch of star destroyers any time they found the rebels? not like they have any other enemies to worry about

Shut the fuck up, nerd

>>67240574
Why even build a Death Star at all? Why not just drop comets and asteroids on planets suspected of harboring rebel sympathies? I know the Tarkin Doctrine and all but seriously, I'd have told the Grand Moth to sit the fuck down and then dark side telekinesis a moon into Alderaan. Or drop a decommissioned Star Destroyer, it worked in the EU.

They probably had to maintain a strong military presence in many systems to keep them from joining the rebellion.

Building a giant weapon that takes forever to destroy a few planet is retarded as fuck. They could've stock up 100000000000000 nukes on 100000000000 carriers and destroyed planets more efficiently without having a dumb weak point

Why build a bigger planet buster cannon when you can spend thirty years shrinking the technology to equip them to star destroyers?

Stupid. No point in air superiority if you don't use it.

and that's why the middle east is still full of goatfucking terrorists

My retarded friend, the Empire didn't want to go around blowing planets up. Who would pay the taxes and join the Imperial Navy then? They just wanted to have the possibility there as a deterrent. It's not supposed to be blasting planets left and right, it's there to sit in the orbit and look menacing so the local populace doesn't do anything stupid. It's there as a base of operations for all those TIE fighters and patrol cruisers.

That's some EU shit right there

why not just use science to destroy the microbes that are manipulated to be the "force" and put a ban on lightsabers

That's exactly what they did in The Empire Stikes Back.

Planets can have shiled protecting them from most shit. But not against the power of the Death Star.
>>67241104
The Rebel base had a freaking shield they had to disable first. And Vader wanted to capture Luke Skywalker, blowing up the base to smitherens was counter-productive.

Well memed my friend, but it's always been a Destroyer, i.e. the type of military ship, prefixed with Star because it operates in space.

They have allies to maintain, that might join the rebels if they knew of their location.

Destroyers probably patrol five planets each at this point, like a cop beat.

The only planets which don't have Destroyers orbiting them are those inhospitable areas which generally would have no use for patrol ships. And so the rebels hide on those planets. Got it?

They...did? "With the Imperial fleet spread across the galaxy in a vain effort to engage us..." ring any bells?
