The Star World Wars thing. What is that?

 

its irony

 

we use 'world' when we talk about world wars because it involves the whole of our world and makes the war sound big and important whereas with a Star World War its a war that invovles star systems but with the word 'World' in it, its ironic because the word 'World' is actually classifying the war as something smaller than something involving star systems but it does make the war sound bigger! :D

 

EDIT - dictionary.com classifies the word 'world' as:

 

"world Pronunciation Key (wûrld)

n.

The earth.

The universe.

The earth with its inhabitants.

The inhabitants of the earth; the human race. "

 

so if you consider the 'world' as 'the earth' then its ironic

if you consider it the universe then a suppose its not

lol, thanks for the explanation Divine Spirit. By the way, how could armies come from stars? Stars are giant spheres of burning gas, i think they should say 'planet'.

 

Planet Wars......nah!

 

a star's army could be a collective world for a star system's army perhaps?
