You don't even need ships equipped with mass drivers; you could simply nose up to an asteroid and then push it in the direction you want, or point your rocket's nozzle at it and nudge it with your exhaust in the direction you want. Really, the only thing stopping you from throwing rocks at someone i...

Does a radioactive asteroid count? I mean its more of a dirty bomb but hey radiation is radiation. A large asteroid will generate its own radiation upon entering the atmosphere: because it's traveling so quickly, it essentially heats the air in front of it so much the gas is superheated and ionized...

On the other hand, if a tech support guy is answering phones with a gun to his head, knowing if he doesn't answer a phone, he gets his brains blown out, then that job is unethical, as well. I don't see how you can extend the fact that direct coercion to do any sort of work is unethical, including p...

As it currently exists, in the USA and the UK, it is unethical. Immoral? No, it's only sex, sex is a natural function, it's like stating that eating is immoral. Immoral?

And many people take jobs they really don't want to do just for the money to pay the bills. Are these jobs unethical too? But prostitution isnt like any other job. It is a job in which your right to bodily integrity is violated if you are unwilling to do it. If someone is forced into that by some o...

In-universe , my only guess is that he had a name change, perhaps through a death in the family or marriage. (Some) Alderaanian couples might chose new surnames altogether when they marry, as opposed to taking one spouse or the other's, for example. I just presumed the two were different people who...
