I can imagine the "Safety is #1" banners while they calibrated the massive kyber crystals.

"We're almost always working for the worst possible people in the end, but we all need a paycheck."

Funny, that's exactly what I'd imagine the electricians and other trades who built the Death Star would've said.

Hard to feel sympathy for them when it exploded. They knew the risks.

Don't drink the water. They put something in it to make you forget.

Yes, that will happen when most of the people in the world who speak English aren't actually English. Your single example of the researchers writing in UK English withstanding.

I believe they're actively working to do just that.
