The real costs of a basic Death Star

Could be worse....

You could have bought the "Dark Star"....

Now, anyone can lend me some money?

Some advice for your Death Star. Close those air shafts up.

to do list:
1-total world domination
2-exploit all resources
3-build the death star
4-get onboard and and watch the earth being destroyed while sipping from your single malt (pixies-where is my mind playing on the background)

In other news, this is all bogus because it fails to take into consideration that neither Emperor Palpatine nor anyone else throughout the Galactic Empire and New Republic (or, if one wants to be technical, the "Old Republic", either) uses U.S. Dollars or any other Terran currency. They use (have used) either Republic Credits or Imperial Credits.

So, in truth, what is the cost in R/I Credits for any given iteration of either the model of the Death Star? The first, or what I call "Tarkinian" Death Star was 160km in diameter. The second one, built in orbit of Endor, was 900km in diameter. This represents a roughly 563% increase in volume, and should therefore likewise represent a roughly 563% increase in cost.

So, can someone here please define what it is, exactly, that we're talking about?

Yes JediBuntu 2.0

Now there's a thought - will Compiz be able to play mind-tricks? So you ony think your desktop has become a sphere "yes, my desktop is a sphere".

The death star is both impractical and expensive, the empire never learned from that...

you're just jealous because the rebels never got to build one
