Think of it this way: take everyone in your neighborhood, mount a pair of .50 cal machineguns - fully automatic - on their cars, give them a radio, take them to a dry lakebed, and tell them all to drive as fast as possible toward a target, shooting as you go. And we're not adding armor to your cars.
I'd pay to watch that on PPV. I doubt that there'd even be much difficulty finding volunteers to drive the cars.
How is that any less believable than the rest of "Star Wars", though? I saw the first movie (almost a half-century ago, now) when I was in high school. It wasn't proper science fiction by any stretch. It was goofy, and the plot was full of holes, but it was fun to watch, visually fascinating, with wonderful sets and props, and it had a magnificent soundtrack. I never bothered with the sequels, though.
