Dammit, I was going to make that joke but I expected you to hate Star Wars.
Admittedly I am not sure why.

Because the Prequel Princess was only allowed to hold a blaster for fanservice shots and was useless?

There's many things I dislike about it, but the same could be said of ANY setting. Hell, I even find DBZ as a setting to be redeemable and have a lot of potential (I just don't think the writer made use of any of it).

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

That seems to be a common thread with popular shounen anime...

Agreed. Popular shounen anime runs off mary sue more than good writing.

Amusingly, it spawns much better fanfic than the original show ever proves to be.
Of course, Sturgeon's Law still applies, but the remaining 10% is sometimes worth it.

Halo has multiple instances of Spartans surviving orbital freefall in their armor. They use a mix of kinetic energy absorbing gel, extending/shaping their energy shields, and armor lock. It is silly, but while they walk away in one or two cases, for the most part their systems are fried and they are pretty beat up requiring external assistance to get up and moving again.
