The default scenario that comes to mind when I think of shooting a locked door open is to put a bunch of bullets into the door around the latch and then kicking the door to smash the now-weakened latched part off. That seems like a reasonable approach to me, especially as a desperation maneuver.

My issue with the two-guns one is that they use stormtroopers as shorthand for being a bad shot. The only time they were "bad shots" was in A New Hope where they were under orders to be bad shots. They were supposed to let the rebels escape on the Falcon, there was a tracking device on it.
The asteroid field in Empire Strikes Back, the one most prominent in pop culture, was not from a recently destroyed planet.
What could go wrong with using human programmers to convert it?
If you're going to insist on perfection for something like this then you're probably never going to get anything done. Convert the program and then test and debug it just like you'd do with any newly written code. The idea is to make it easier to do that, not to make it so you don't have to do it at all.
I would expect that's part of the point, if a C program can't be converted to a language that doesn't allow memory violations that probably indicates that there are execution pathways that result in memory violations.
I'm saying they can do it. If you don't have a sample then you can't do it and the question of "rights" is entirely moot.
If you do have a sample, then questions of rights and enforcement and whatnot can be addressed. "What jurisdiction are you in?" Is an important first question for that. But if you don't have a sample then we never get to that step.
I remember the vacation road trips of my youth, when our family would drive from Canada down into the US to go camping. We'd make a game of counting the American flags we saw. Occasionally there'd be some "game over" property with more flags festooning it than we could actually count before we drove past. It'd be a boring game to count Canadian flags in a similar way. There'd be one or two per day of travel.
Do you have any samples of his voice?
It probably doesn't matter from a popular perception standpoint. The talking point that AI burns massive amounts of coal for each deepfake generated is now deeply ingrained, it'll be brought up regularly for years after it's no longer true.
It's also amazing to see the "fairness meter" down at the bottom of this Newsweek article, which appears to be some kind of user-submitted ranking. Its needle is currently slammed all the way over onto the "unfair left leaning" end of the gauge. How the heck is this "unfair"?
Right after the assassination attempt there were joking references to Trump's history with professional wrestling and the practice of "[blading](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blading_(professional_wrestling))", ie, using a concealed razor to cut yourself during a fight in order to make it seem like you'd been injured. It was funny, but I didn't think anyone was taking it seriously.
Now I'm genuinely starting to wonder. What the heck happened here? The odds of a bullet grazing just so exactly perfectly close to make him bleed, but not to produce any actual long-lasting damage, are lower than all kinds of other ridiculous ideas. I don't even see any bruising in this photo. Elderly people often have a tendency to bruise quite easily.
When the Falcon drops out of hyperspace in A New Hope Han says:
Han didn't consider it to be an asteroid field, it wasn't named as such. It was smaller debris.
The asteroid field in Empire Strikes Back isn't given an origin on-screen, it's just there. It's obviously been there for quite a while, though. It's got native megafauna living in it.
I checked Wookieepedia and there's Legends material that establishes a variety of different explanations for the asteroids, but they're all natural and all happened in the ancient past.
