None of Star Wars makes any sense if you think about it with realistic skepticism. Ultra Sith powers aren't strong enough to beat a hundred soldiers rushing at you, much less with weapons. If you look at any of the movies, the "armies" are tiny. Real wars are waged by hundreds of thousands of people. You would imagine a Galactic Empire would have armies in the trillions of soldiers, maybe millions of ships. Some rebels managed to destroy a ship? Who cares? Seriously, the scale is so ridiculous everything collapses and makes no sense. The Death Star can destroy planets? Seems like a dumb waste of energy if you ask me, why would you not rather conquer the planet and mine it for resources?
I like a lot of things in Star Wars, and KOTOR were awesome games that I enjoyed a lot, but they're just another sci-fi franchise. I don't feel any magic because there never was any magic. I don't understand why people are so obssessed about Star Wars. The original movies were pretty good at the time, but I find they were just kinda above-average; somewhat normal in terms of story-telling with good acting and likable characters. If a movie falls flat, it's because the director sucked or the script sucked or the actors sucked; that's the answer for every movie. The fact that the story happens in the Star Wars tiny galaxy has no relationship with a movie being good or not. The Star Wars universe is just the setting, nothing more.
