As long as their rules are internally consistent, who cares if they work in the real world? That's covered by the 'fiction' part of science fiction (and I'm sure I don't need to go into 'fantasy' for you). The Empire needed a planetary shield at that point because the story required that none of the characters involved escaped, never to be heard of again. There's sound in Star Wars space because it's their take on WW2 dogfighting. Stormtroopers are shit at aiming? Script immunity of the main characters.
Hey, maybe there's a universe where a whole lot of talking jungle animals decided to re-enact Hamlet? Or maybe Disney 'borrowed' the idea of Kimba the White Lion to make money? We may never know.
I want to see a movie that combines Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien v. Predator, and above all, Wonder Woman!
