The empire would have won if the officer just shot the escape pod anyway In A New Hope

Its almost common sense they might try to desperately let some intel or supplies escape so the empire doesnt get it. But they dont shoot the pod because of "no life forms on board"If they had shot it anyway, thered be no R2 or death star plans.No r2 means no luke becoming a jedi.No r2 means no princess rescueNo death star plans for rebels means death star livesIf that one fucking officer. Ruined the entire empire. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2C2iquM
