Ol Smoke Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 In Star Wars "The Empire Strikes Back" Han asks Chewie for a "Hydro-spanner" tool to fix the hyperdrive. What you say, "Is a hydro-spanner"? FIrst Hydro meaning water and spanner meaning wrench. More commonly referred to as a pipe wrench, plumber's wrench, or as we say here in America.... "a Monkey Wrench". (Because it is so simple a monkey can use it) Now ask yourself this...would you go skipping around the galaxy at warp speed with a guy who fixes his space ship with that??? 2 Quote

Leader RedBaird Posted May 23, 2014 Leader Posted May 23, 2014 Well, I'm sure they still had waste-disposal problems back then, or did they just Star-Trek-like transport it into space, like a ship dumping at sea? Boy, if you dropped your wallet into that toilet it, was really, really gone! 1 Quote
ronaldounit0 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 Sorry, I just had to look it up.... Here is the link to a small wiki if anyone feels like looking at it http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hydrospanner But I guess much more important stuff has been fixed with something much less so hahaha Quote
EmtHipple Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 He also gets things to work with " percussive" maintenance, IE he beats on things till they work, Now tell me you have never " tapped" the gauge of anything mechanical that read out of range, or owned a car at some point that need a little persuasion from time to time Quote
