It's 4 PM on a Friday and I'm filling out the rest of my day by trying to determine the exchange rate of US Dollars to Imperial Credits. Seriously, someone at Wookiepedia needs to explain why a brand new X-Wing costs 150,000 credits. An F-15 is $80 million. Are they suggesting that 1 Credit is equivalent to $533? When Andor offers to sell a Starpath Unit for 40,000 Credits, is he asking for $21 million? What does a banana cost in the Star Wars universe? 10 Credits???

@HarkMahlberg I hate that at one point my knowledge was as such that I coulda probably helped you with that, but alas that was many years, numerous deathsticks and an acquisition ago lol.

Maybe x wings are just really cheap to produce and a credit is less that $533? Credits probably just weren't really thought through super hard. Also, if you're mixing canon with legends, that could be fucking with your math

And this is why the Empire is destined to fall. The economy is in shambles!
