Dang. Love the whole passive aggressive, "Not a democracy" thing goin on here.
Anyway, I've thought it was a bit odd to have such powerful stuff in the SW universe to begin with. As mentioned, some tech could snipe for hundreds of millions of miles, some could sneak up and explode in ones face to terminate entire bases etc. I agree with the restrictions in place, anyone having control of said weaponry could end up biased. Hell normal ships are miss used on here, no need for something heavier.
