Talk:Death Star/Legends

Lets split these articles up into two DS I, and DS II, whoese with me? --Kosure 04:16, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC) Me!--Rossdaboss99 11:40, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You're really late. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Category
Category: Capital Ship? Is that an appropriate designation? Yes, it's capable of moving under its own power, but I've always heard it referred to as a mobile battle station, not a capital ship.
 * Agree, its a bit outside that class.
 * Not a capital ship, but a space station superweapon. -- Riffsyphon1024 13:36, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Since all spacestations are essentially spaceships travelling in a fixed orbit, it might not make much difference to have it in a separate paragraph. VT-16 17:14, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Deaths Aboard the Death Star
How is the Deaths Aboard the Death Star section pointless?

If someone wants to know who died aboard the Death Star, they can check it out right there.

Jack: I think its very rude of you to just completly delete that without even putting a talk here first to see if it should be deleted or not.
 * I can tell you who died aboard the Death Star: everyone. And even if it should stay (which it shouldn't) it would need to be in the Death Star I page, not this one. MarcK 14:00, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Plus, it's pointless because if they wanted to find out who died aboard a Death Star, they could look it up on that character's page. And see, even others know it shouldn't be here. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 14:03, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Eh, not everyone. http://www.theforce.net/swtc/bast.html Most did die, but not everyone -SWF
 * Actually, Chief Bast is like the Schr&ouml;dinger's cat of the Imperial Navy. As Leland Chee has explained, he is not definitively dead, but his survival is also uncertain until someone mentions him in a future work. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  23:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Third Death Star
I think this article should make notice of the supposed third death star, as seen in Star Tours. Adamwankenobi 14:10, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, that page itself is in pretty bad article condition, and I think the "third" Death Star was really the prototype Death Star. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 14:13, 12 Nov 2005 (UTC)

DS mk 1 vs. planetary shields
Is it a bit of exaggeration to say that the DS could easily punch through the most powerful shields? Is this speculation or actually sourced from somewhere? --Maru (talk) Contribs 23:43, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's shown in Episode IV when the superlaser blasts through the planetary shield of Alderaan. I assume that's what you're talking about, right? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 00:06, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The shielding effect was visible in Episode IV, and was actually redone to be better defined in the SE. The Episode IV novelization has Vader saying "The defense systems on Alderaan, despite the Senator's protestations to the contrary, were as strong as any in the Empire. I should conclude that our demonstration was as impressive as it was thorough." I take that to mean the shields, since it is commonly accepted that they did away with weaponry. I think this indicates the "most powerful shields" statement is not hyperbole. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  00:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * So, to sum it all up, the Death Star's superlaser could easily punch through any planetary shield. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:56, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh. I didn't know about the shielding (foolish me, I took Leia's protestations of Alderaan's defenselessness and peaceability at face value). Never mind then... --Maru (talk) Contribs 03:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about it. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * "She's a politician, and they're not to be trusted." -- Obi-Wan Kenobi. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  21:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent point. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 22:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Protection
This page has been protected due to an ongoing diameter edit war. Please settle the issue here. - Sikon [ Talk ] 14:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Here, I'll settle it: Anon, you're wrong. There, it's done. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 20:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Ummm...
The planes Poggle the lesser had were for the Geonosian Great Weapon, which was part way built but destroyed in 19 B.B.Y. Sidious had another engineer revise them for the construction of DSI.
 * No, the Ultimate Weapon was never built. Those plans were revised into the Death Star plans. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 23:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeap, remember that the final plans that were polished, finished, and actually used for the construction were made primarily by Bevel Lemelisk and Qwi Xux from Maw Installation. The Geonosian design, from what I understand of it, was a very basic design and not as big or powerful as the Death Star. And of course the original idea was Raith Sienar's. But really the Death Star that was actually constructed was the brain child of Maw Installation and it's staff.--Kyp-Durron 18:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Kyp-Durron
 * It's like this: Raith Sienar comes up with the plans, the Geonosians try to work on them (under the name of the Ultimate Weapon), the Death Star I begins construction, Lemelisk and Xux do some more modifications, the Death Star prototype is contructed, the Death Star I's faults are fixed, the Death Star I is completed and later destroyed, and the Death Star II begins contruction and is later destroyed.

Death Star plans vs history section
Now that we have a separate article about the plans, some portion of it should be truncated or moved to that article. MoffRebus 23:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Only copied and moved, not cut and moved. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:11, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Necessary?
"In Star Wars: Battlefront II, a battle in the Death Star can be played in the Clone Wars-era in Instant Action only." Due to this, it was not an actual battle at all." Is this really necessary to have in Behind the Scenes?--Darth Oblivion 02:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. That way, we don't get any fanon-related nonsense on it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Aah. I see.--Darth Oblivion 22:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Of course, it probably won't stop it altogether, but still. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:55, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Broken "math" in main article
Noticed the maths functions appear to be broken. Added the attention template because I am unfamiliar with the mathy stuff. If this is a temporary problem then it'll probably fix it self anyway. --beeurd 01:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I noticed that too, but I have no clue how to fix it.--Darth OblivionComlink[[Image:Oldsith.jpg|20px]] 01:18, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I've removed them for the time being. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Anyone know if it works now? Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:27, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Rebellion
The article says the Death Star appears in a flashback in Star Wars: Rebellion. I looked through the series, and I can't find it. -LtNOWIS 21:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe it's after Tank has "defected" to the Rebs. He and Luke start chatting, Luke bringing up the Trench Run. We see a bit of the battle in flashback form, IIRC - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 21:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You're right about the Trench Run flashback (it shows Biggs Darklighter being killed by Vader) but the timing is a little off. I'm pretty sure it's before Tank's fake defection. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I was thinking of the talk where Tank wonders if Luke ever considered the innocent lives he destroyed by blowing up the DS, in #4. No flashback. - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 21:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry to go off-topic, but I was just thinking about that. Luke becomes a hero, but in order to become one, thousands of innocent lives have to end at his hands&mdash;or, rather, proton torpedo. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I see it now, thanks. -LtNOWIS 21:32, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You're welcomed. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Time
It took the Imperials 19 or 20 years to make the first death star. Why did it only take 4 years to ALMOST complete the second one? 67.72.98.117 18:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * They had more experience and knew exactly what they were doing when they built the second one. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 18:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Plus, one reason the first one took 19 years is because they had problems with the superlaser. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:10, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Planets of Construction
Is it known which planets had construction projects going on to contribute to the Death Stars? Wookiee Jedi 01:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
