The Death Star

When Obi Wan Kenobi said, “Thats no moon, that’s a space station.” We instantly knew that if a Jedi was in awe of a ship, then it had to be extremely impressive. That is exactly what the Death Star was.

Looks-wise the Death Star isn’t really anything special. It is just a giant grey ball with an indentation in the middle of its upper section. It’s that dimple that causes all the problems. That is where the powerful planet-destroying cannon lies, and it doesn’t take the Empire long to demonstrate the massive power of this station when they use it to destroy Alderaan.

The Death Star apparently isn’t just ginormous but also moves well, as it apparently took little time for it to travel from Alderaan to Yavin 4. The Death Star was unique as it was a literal representation of the power of the Empire not just in its size, but in its overall power and ability to destroy.
