 Also you can't slice somebody up piece by piece with a blaster....
 youi can't set a blaster to  *just* penatrate the skin...to sear just a
little bit of it of (like cutting an onion really) untill ...well untill
the person you are doing it to tells you what you want to know..or you get
tired of their screams.....

            ...........well so I've read.

The Burning....a favorite interogation method of the Imperial Stormtroopers.
 You just turn the blaster to it's lowest setting (NOT STUN) and aim at the
feet.
You then start firing, moving from the feet to the head, burning off all the
flesh from the bones.  Looking at the bodies of Luke's Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru
on Tattoine, I suspect that's what the troopers used to interogate them...

Those were two grizly corpses, ne?

or as Jabba would say "Owen, Beru - crispa."

 Funny you mentioned this...
 After two much Star Wars (nay say not that...but rather..."After drinking
deep from the Well of Lucas..." ) we spent  ( a couple of friends and I) 
tonight watching anime....and comparing this effect to the burning fan in
Fushigi Yuggii.... 
 Well that and comparing the rivalry found in Marmalade Boy to that in 
 Gundam (You just replace all the shootings,betrayals and epic mecha
combat with hair-cutting...clothing sales and tennis)
 
 Not enough sleep today....
