    3) Somehow related to (2). Dust off those ol' Reagan papers and make a DeathStar. Make it dispose of debris efficiently by lasers (might be more pieces to float though) or grab them to feed what's in its internal trash compactor (sans Solo, Skywalker, and Leia).

    Also, shoot at anything/anyone determined to beat the U S of A at the space race, but maybe that's just me.
