So I was playing Sonic The Hedgehog 3, and I got to thinking: "why do Dr Robotnick's lairs always have halfpipes and loop-d-loops if he knows Sonic can get past it?" (I mean honestly, if he'd just throw Sonic in a pool with orthoganal sides, he'd drown!) And then I thought "hey, maybe I should focus on evil architecture, you know, reinvent the evil genius's lair!"
So I guess what I'm getting at is,do any of you guys know a good evil design firm?
RANDAL
Now the first one they built was
completed and fully operational
before the Rebels destroyed it.
DANTE
Luke blew it up. Give credit where
it's due.
RANDAL
And the second one was still being
built when they blew it up.
DANTE
Compliments of Lando Calrissian.
RANDAL
Something just never sat right with
me the second time they destroyed
it. I could never put my finger on
it-something just wasn't right.
DANTE
And you figured it out?
RANDAL
Well, the thing is, the first Death
Star was manned by the Imperial
army-storm troopers, dignitaries-
the only people onboard were
Imperials.
DANTE
Basically.
RANDAL
So when they blew it up, no prob.
Evil is punished.
DANTE
And the second time around...?
49.
RANDAL
The second time around, it wasn't
even finished yet. They were still
under construction.
DANTE
So?
RANDAL
A construction job of that magnitude
would require a helluva lot more
manpower than the Imperial army had
to offer. I'll bet there were
independent contractors working on
that thing: plumbers, aluminum
siders, roofers.
DANTE
Not just Imperials, is what you're
getting at.
RANDAL
Exactly. In order to get it built
quickly and quietly they'd hire
anybody who could do the job. Do
you think the average storm trooper
knows how to install a toilet main?
All they know is killing and white
uniforms.
DANTE
All right, so even if independent
contractors are working on the
Death Star, why are you uneasy with
its destruction?
RANDAL
All those innocent contractors
hired to do a job were killed-
casualties of a war they had
nothing to do with.
T'anks Heterarchy,
I learned this, & everything else I know from years of filling my mind with the all of the knowledge that TV could deliver. Plus, Googlin' don't hurt when you're trying to get International Evil Genius [IEG] certification. Man that Mr. Blofeld really is a stickler for detail.
Evil geniuses need architects too...

Not really a design firm, but the Production Designer for james Bond movies, Ken Adam did some geat stuff.
how do people on archinect know things like "the Production Designer for James Bond movies" was Ken Adams? ovation for mystery!
RANDAL
So they build another Death Star,
right?
DANTE
Yeah.

Thats quite funny.(Although the second death star, i believe, was actually completed, but had the looks of a incomplete death star?)
So you've just parked your overheating, space-pickup & you're unloading 30 sheets of drywall. Then BOOOMMMM!!!!! It's tough to be a 'sub' in space.
maybe Luke Skywalker was really Howard Roark & the Death Star was one of his projects that breached his contract.....I need more Java. Hey Barista!!

Here's a decent link for Ken Adam:
