Behind that fatherly visage a raging demon fought to escape. Soon, very soon, he would be free to let it loose."

- Star Wars by "George Lucas"

Walter Jon Williams (+1)
"First you built droids. And then the droids built a factory &mdash; not for warships, but for more droids. Then the first set of droids, plus the new droids built by the factory, built another factory, and that built ships, while the first factory continued to build new droids to build new factories to build new droids to build new factories to build ships. You could keep going forever building new factories, new droids, and new ships, provided supplies weren't interrupted and someone was willing to pay for it all. Once the cascade started, it just kept growing, and the only way to stop it was to destroy all the factories, ships, and droids, because if just one droid survived, that droid could start the cascade all over again, by building another droid."

- Walter Jon Williams, explaining war production in Destiny's Way
