May 30, 2012 · The Death Star's hyperspace motivator units were comprised of linked banks of field generators such as those found aboard Imperial Star Destroyers. One hundred twenty-three individual hyperspace generators, tied into a single navigational matrix, were necessary to carry the Death Star beyond the speed of light. The intense power generated ...

Dec 15, 2015 · The Death Star, also known as the Death Star I, First Death Star, DS-1 platform and previously known as the Ultimate Weapon and Sentinel Base, was a moon-sized deep space mobile battle station constructed by the Galactic Empire after the defeat of the Separatists in the Clone Wars. It boasted a primary weapon with sufficient firepower to ...

The first Death Star was in construction at the end of Episode III (presumably 19 BBY). The ending shot is this picture, with only small portions of the superstructure completed: 19 years later, the Death Star has only been recently completed (the novel Death Star places the completion about 1 BBY). So we assume it took about 18 years to build ...

Jan 5, 2023 · From the command-bridge of the Death Star, Alderaan looked like this: Assuming that's a window, not a viewscreen with zoom-control, Alderaan looks mighty far away. Not so different to how our moon looks to us on earth. So assume the Death Star, which is around 1:20th the size of our moon was orbiting at the same distance as said moon..

Going back to actual physicists, the "That's No Moon" paper makes some claims about the Death Star's power output, citing the 2007 novel Death Star: [T]he death star [sic] had a very large 'hypermatter' reactor, which possessed an output equal to that of several main-sequence stars. Our sun is an example of a main sequence star, and it has an ...

Dec 29, 2016 · Obviously the Death Star must have hyperdrive capability in order to be an effective weapon in a galactic civil war. The only clue as to the Death Star's speed of jumping into hyperspace is Vader's statement. "This day has seen the end of Kenobie and it …

As he explains (at 1:15), the Death Star model had not yet been constructed, so he was working from a matte painting in which the dish was in shadow as his reference. The original PDP-11/45 that created the wireframe model of the Death Star is still up and running fully operational (with video of the old-school minicomputer) .

That said, the Rebels did acquire the Death Star plans with enough detail to reveal the battle station's thermal exhaust port weakness (which was only two meters wide). It would be rather odd for these plans to include such details without providing at least a rough estimate of the required crew for the Death Star (e.g. for manning all the ...

The Death Star Technical Companion by West End Games lists the first Death Star specs as follows: The first Death Star is depicted in various sources of having a crew of: 265,675, as well as 52,276 gunners, 607,360 troops, 30,984 stormtroopers, 42,782 ship support staff, and 180,216 pilots and support crew.

Feb 29, 2012 · Or the Death Star crew found a way to jam the signals from Vader's squadron from being emitted to the Rebel base. This is feasible because Vader was obviously coordinating with the Death Star's turbolaser crew when the trench's turbolasers would cease firing on the Rebel fighters in the trench when Vader's squadron approached the trench.
