Try the same fucking plan three times

it wasnt

seems like they could have just fixed the design flaw in the original death star and made 10 of them

it's easier to build on zero gravity asembing things in space than to dig a whole planetoid

will there be a pseudo death star in IX?

this is how it shoulve been but they used a flat surface so people for the radius from that and the death star turned to be 900km wide instead of 180

yes

Technically the second death star was in production long before the first one was considered a failure.

doesnt matter anymore now that any ship can hyperspace ram a planet

Imagine someone watching the series in a marathon for the first time and seeing three different movies with a fucking death star, they would automatically think it's stupid

what's stopping the death star from compacting under its enormous weight?

the second death star was just to lure the entire rebel fleet to a singular location, it wasn't meant to fly around and destroy planets

ahh, this thread again

starkiller without a trench. jj is a genius.

>seems like they could have just fixed the design flaw in the original death star and made 10 of them
They did fix the flaw and it allowed quick repeat firings for capital ships. It was just under construction and required an external shield.

The Force

what dragged in the executor?
where the fuck is the death stars centre of gravity?
every level has its own gravity generator?
the fuck?!

it's a rogue one concept art

you know full well that there's going to be some throw away comment about warp speed shields.

Don't forget that the one from TFA is a fucking planet curved to be like that. How can you cut a planet like that?

It's a trap

tractor beams pulled the executor in

well it's good they had someone around to point out that shit was dumb

how do people walk around? it's as if it was a large tower block rather than a small moon..

too bad we didn't get this though

I never got that. Like, there's no scale in space. If it is written somewhere on a piece of paper tucked into a notebook, somewhere in George Lucas' house, that's fine. It doesn't translate to the film at all.

it might look cool but why would they need all those empty rooms? that makes absolutely no sense at all

same way they walk in the milenium falcon, gravity floors

Attached: dsgun.jpg (559x615, 127K)

what rooms?

>hurrdurr x-wings flying like dogfighters in space is totally OK but they can't use their anti-gravity shit to hold a death star in a planet sized crater
you're a fucking retard

the rooms in that space station that could hold literally billions of people

>Making it so blowing up one single things destroys the entire thing

maybe they build more star destroyers there, or it's just fuel or ammo
we never see a lot of star wars because of budget but the galaxy has trillions of people

that's what I figured. just seems fucking crazy considering it's size and potential mass.
wouldn't the centre of the thing be constantly pulling on whatever was on the outer edge?

it looks cool but seems extremely impractical, which in turn makes it look silly

such a hostile brainlet

maybe that's what the death star uses for the tractor beam, they canalize the inner gravity

maybe, but then how do people walk on the floor then?

each floor has some gravity tubes under or something, it's alien tech

gothcha. thx

You can't hyperspace ram a planet, are you insane? You'll just flatten your ship against the surface. The best that you can do with that attack is cause a tsunami that will wipe out any coastal base, but how many worlds even have water?

as soon as your hyperspeed projectile hits the atmosphere, it would set off a massive explosion just like big or fast asteroids going well below the speed of light explode like nukes when they hit the Earth's atmosphere
xwings could kill entire planets

this, or in 1/10th the time just whipped out another like the original and then blown up Hoth with the rebels still on it

1. It was bigger because it was designed around the larger and faster laser.
2. Yes I will explain why
3. It wasn't complete yet

Death Star 1 was basically a prototype they didn't even know if it work for sure. It was meant as a terror weapon rather than an actual weapons platform. It proved it could work so they upgraded it. They were already going to build another death star even if the first wasn't destroyed and they would have kept building them. I'll explain why if you ask.
Death Star 2's was upgraded with intention of making it basically a giant aircraft carrier/battleship logistics hub rather than just a pure terror weapon. It had I think 50,000 extra canons meant just for blowing up capital ships. Death Star 1 had to be close to it's targets because how the beam was constructed due to power constraints, death star 2 could shoot at range. Death Star 1 shields weren't designed to stop small fighters, death star 2's shields could stop when up. Death Star 1 took a day to recharge a full blast, death star 2 only took 5 hours for a full blast and death star 2 could recharge for another non full blast laser shot that could destroy a capital ship within minutes,

Palpatine was seeking to crush the last remnants of the rebel. So he leaked out the Death Star 2's plans and location while it was under construction. The rebels didn't think he knew they knew. The rebels saw the plans and realized once it was complete it would be nearly impossible to destroy so they had to hit it while it wasn't operational. Palpatine knew they'd have to attack and set the trap. As soon as they jumped into attack, it went operational and the imperial fleet showed up. If it wasn't for the Endor shields going down and palpatine being killed the rebellion would have died in the battle.

or short hand. The first death star wasn't the final plan it was a prototype and very flawed. It took more time figuring out how to get the concept to work and fire than actually building it. The second death star was built in a short time and there's a reason they built it the way they did.

If asked I'll explain

death star 1 is canonically 120km wide, DS2 is 160

>putting all your eggs in one basket
What a shitty design.
For the same materials they put into it, they could have build a massive armada of ships and take control of the entire galaxy.

nice. My 4 year old called it out the other day.
he more or less called me a retard for making him watch this shit
>catched

Yeah, the series as a whole dosn't fit together well. The original trilogy just about works, but VI is still pretty lazy.

lol, we watched the OT yesterday. I have the meme 4k77 film and it looks great through a projector. watch it if you can.
even the prequels are ok. never used to rate them but they hold up quite well, plenty of bs but the podracer sfx in EP1 alone almost make up for the lot of it.
this new shit is fucking dead on arrival and every one knows it
