The Hole Problem
Bad guys don’t have OSHA (that’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration to you non-Americans). I mean, just LOOK at the Death Star. Dangerous doors, low beams a storm-trooper could hit their head on, and what about that power core where Obi Wan goes in Episode 4 to shut down the tractor beams? Those catwalks are like — what? — six inches wide? And hand-rails? Ha! I mean, that shaft is only about three miles deep, right? (The Emperor himself would later come to wish he’d put in some safety netting over those things, come episode six!)
Anyway, I love playing with the absurdly dangerous aspects that seem to be inherent in any super-villain’s lair. Bottomless pits are often referenced, but clearly this one DOES have a bottom!
