HOLY CRAP EPISODE III WAS AWESOME

[Afrobean]

I'm sure George Lucas and his crew weren't that meticulous or anal(for the lack of a better word) about petty details such as this.

To elaborate on this, take a look at every explosion of a death star or space station or space ship in all of Star Wars. You'll find that there are sound effects made for such explosions. However, anyone with a brain could tell you that space is a vacuum and there can be no sound in a vacuum. Geeks don't seem to care though, and it appears that they prefer awesome explosions to realism.
