What i want to know is how do you build something like the deathstar. I mean, where would you start ?
Scafolding?

Ypu know, I think the STW massiv could build a Death Star. We've certinly got enough decent metal lying around.....

Scaffolding?
Erm........ it looks as if scaffolding might not be necessary - you should be able to reach most of it standing on a stool

Wow. I want a Death Star mounted on top of my house now.

Well, it made short work of Alderaan, I can't see a door being too much of an issue .........

Well i thought about scaffolding but what do you fix it to, wouldn't it just float away ?
If you do start with a basic frame and build from there how would you get the power to it to make the tea or power the tools ?
This needs further thought although i do like the idea of a STW deathstar, we could have different sections for different styles of riding ! It could be a bit like the STW bike that was suggested a few weeks ago only on a bigger scale, I've got some cheap riser bars which i can donate to get the thing started and Ton has always got something he's looking to get rid of. Anyone else ?

I've got some old tiles lying around - ideal for making a splash guard for a toilet sink - I could even put them up. How many toilets does the Death Star have?

the thing that always baffled me about the constuction of the death star was it's major design flaw. i mean who would design such an obvious target with thermal exhaust ports that led straight to the main reactor and were conveniently large enough to accomodate space craft of the size which could drop off exposive materials? that guy needs strangling from the other side of the room.

Is there a Death Shed behind the Death Star full of bicycles, cans of paint and rusty screwdrivers?
Posted 2 years ago # -
At 160km and 900km in diamater for the first and second Death Stars respectively, that is a lot of materials that need mining, forging and shaping, even before construction begins.
From the partly finished DS2 it looks like they start from the middle, building out vertically and horizonatally in 360º, then filling in various sections.
Presumably large parts could have been built elsewhere and slotted in.

Slave labour was used apparently:
After the beginning of the Great Jedi Purge, an assault was led on the planet Kashyyyk to enslave the native Wookiees for the Death Star's construction. Various prison planets were also known to have their captives unwittingly construct various sections of the station. The Empire also had Mrlssi scientists working on some of the technology that would go into the station.[6]
Wilhuff Tarkin with Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader in 19 BBY overlooking the construction of the first Death Star.
Nevertheless, the project nearly ended before it began. Because much of the technology of the Death Star was impressive, actually building it proved to be more difficult than anyone imagined. Efforts were not helped by repeated (and often unsuccessful) sabotage efforts.
Of particular concern was the technology required to create the massive superlaser, the heart of the weapon. To this end, Tarkin brought together some of the most brilliant minds of the Galaxy, including Tol Sivron, Qwi Xux, and Bevel Lemelisk, and built a proof-of-concept model at the Maw Installation. This model would eventually become known as the Death Star Prototype. These scientists also found and corrected several flaws in the Geonosian blueprints, which had been used in that phase of construction. Renowned physicist Rorax Falken worked with the Empire at some point during the construction of the Death Star, though he was not aware that his ideas and knowledge were being used for a battlestation.[6]
With the concept completed and the plans finalized, Lemelisk took the plans to Despayre, where construction would finally be completed after twenty years of hard work and the death of many individuals. In celebration, the Death Star turned its massive weapon on Despayre itself, completely destroying it.

Looks harsh. No bog (sorry Death Dunny) on that diagram. I guess you could shit in the trench though.

Plus you need to add the cost of building the shield generator on the moon with the little furry animals
