where is it written that the bastards can't just be fired & have to walk out with a small cardboard box containing a few ripped off pens & papers

If I had to guess, I'd say in their contracts.

Alderaan shot first...

No need to add "The Skywalker Saga" on to the titles. Movies that are part of the main thread keep their "Episode $n" titles, and spin-offs get their own titles. Worked for X-Men (the quality of that series notwithstanding) which had X-Men {1,2,3} (spanning the Xavier vs Magneto stories), Origins and First Class (prequels), and the upcoming Wolverine and Days of Future Past.

Funny; my professor just told a networking class recently when discussing vulnerability scanners that it was seriously unethical to scan a system without permission - it would be like walking through a parking lot and checking which cars are unlocked. I think most people would agree with him. This project might have good intentions, trying to encourage the sysadmins to tighten up their security, but I think there's a better way to do it than public shaming.

My "favorite" part about the Battleship movie is the video game. How is the game based on a movie based on a game NOT just the original game?

Screw off. Sincerely, Canadians.
