Watching Star Wars again as an adult, I couldn't watch it without seeing all the security holes in the Death Star--enemy (to them) space craft approaches, so use tractor beam to bring them to a section NOT sealed off from the rest of the death star. A robot can access, and CONTROL, the death star's computer systems from any wall outlet. Putting a storm trooper uniform on gains you access anywhere. An never mind the direct opening from the reactor core that explodes when shot, to the outside space where it can be shot.

Of course, it's not just Star Wars--bad security happens everywhere (24? Bring the bad guys right into the classified area? Bring even good guys who are not cleared into the area and let them roam free without escort? or Star Treck TOS, letting guests roam free around the ship, visit engineering without escort, etc.)
