Barnes and Noble is falling further behind Amazon

The original set up was about 12 10 minute vignettes that all pretty much ran one running story. Season 2 was again, about 12 episodes around 10 minutes long. No idea how SyFy is setting it up. I'm assuming they might show a batch of them together running back to back.

So Con Man is coming to SyFy tomorrow in the US. They've already going ahead with a 2nd season, and possibly a 3rd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiGqkZO9p1Y

If I recall my statistics, the first Death Star was 90 km in diameter, and then the 2nd Death Star was about 120km in diameter. But you also have to think, the original Death Star was slowly built over about 20 years. I don't think anyones said the timeline on when the 2nd one was started...

Their Empire is reduced from what it was when Palpatine led it, yet they have the resources to build biiiigger superweapons. I mean, okay, Palpatine tended to do it on the sly, so all of his superweapons had to be built behind cover, and use of resources that could be hidden from the Senate and such, so that could technically be why he couldn't just go big constantly. From the sound of it, Snoke doesn't have to worry so much about that, just keeping spies and rumours from kicking off about his secret superweapons and the like. But still, how does he have the resources and logistics for managing all of this?
