Technically the Death Star is more workable than you might think. The Empire has the industrial capacity of an entire galaxy behind it, and has the ability to mine asteroids and empty planets for resources. Money and resources aren’t an issue, and with trillions of inhabitants in the galaxy plus droids, the workforce is really not that unbelievable. The Death Star laser being dumb also is believable because it’s made via Lightsaber crystals, so whatever shenanigans makes lightsabers funky just makes the Death Star Lasers funky as well. Gravity is funky considering the Death Star is actually so massive it should have a noticeable gravity field. (Don’t remember off the top of my head but the number of ~0.5 m/s^2 sounds in the ballpark) also the SW universe just has gravity tech anyway lol.

@milanstevic8424

6 ай бұрын

I also believe it's workable. The civilization is already at a Kardashev scale of 2.something so it's perfectly doable. However, the real problem with the SW universe is that everything you see in it is some form of tech from the 80s plus some magic. It is hard to extrapolate a Kardashev scale of 2.something with such janky ideas. It's just immature in that sense, but I would argue that none of it really matters for the main plot to work. The SF here is really just a background for a classical fairytale full of mythic archetypes.

@@realdragon Nah a single star system should contain enough material and in the SW universe one could deploy enough (robotic) workforce to complete the entire Death Star on site. Yes there is some troublesome logistics, especially with the highly specialized equipment that cannot be made on site, but it doesn't work the way you imagine it to be. For starters, the construction is not on a planet and there is no gravity, air, or dust. In space (with sufficient energy and construction capacity) you can easily build a frictionless orbital conveyor belt that is also smart enough to keep the assembly of complicated objects work like a progress bar. This can scale perfectly to any size. The actual, real issue with accumulating so much mass is the emergence of gravity, but in the universe where artificial gravity exists this should be no problem. It is still hard to estimate how much time is needed for the object of that size. If you allow me to adopt the terminology of bricks vs building vs truckload, then there is a natural/physical sweet spot for the most efficient universal ratio between the three, and this would effectively spell the ultimate duration of the project, given its final size.

One of the best things which comes with experience is that as an engineer any request must be answered with "ok, we will be working on that", and then, once you actually build what realistically can be done and see how they are happy about THEIR idea actually working you tell them its features (limitations), 90 percent of the time they will distractedly nod and leave you alone, as for the other 10 percent you tell them it will be implemented with the next iterations, and that's how you actually ensure they keep hiring you.
