Wait a minute...a fucking THIRD death star?
Jesus christ, you gotta be fucking kidding me
>>68079449
It's the first one.
I dont have a bait image to give you, sorry
>>68079449
>>68079479
Don't worry I do
>>68079449
Third times a charm.
Can anyone explain why it took 17yrs to build?
They had the reactor and center structure done at the end of RotS.
>>68079449
This is now an office thread
>>68079449
Dammit, that's a nice shot, tho. How the lights look like stars. I'll be damned if I go see this shit, tho.
>>68079449
Actually it would be the fourth :^)
>>68079544
>thinking the prequels matter
>>68079449
It's an Episode IV prequel you dumbfuck
>>68079544
>at the end of RotS
How do you know that scene doesn't take place 17 years later? We know it only started being operational at the start of A New Hope.
>>68079640
I know because the blueprints were finished the movie prior so construction took place. Also it makes sense that the emperor could hide a large construction project using the war as a front.
>>68079544
They also built like 3/4 of a functional one in like 2 years between the end of ANH and the beginning of ROTJ, so not sure why it took so long to build the first one
>>68079681
We know it only started being operational at the start of A New Hope.
>>68079544
They're building something the size of a moon. It's bound to take at least a decade and a half
>>68079717
Well now we know there was a major weapons test prior to new hope. So if we assume it took 17yrs to get to this point, then the only logical conclusion is they couldn't get it to work!
Guys, hear me out
What if for episode 8, what if
we have 2 death stars, at the same time
>>68079837
No, because in the 2nd episode of the trilogy someone has to get a hand chopped off.
>>68079449
Are you fucking retarded?
>>68079837
Get this guy ouuta here. Ouu ouu grasshhh grasshhh gett outta here grasssh
>>68079449
3rd Death Star is in The Force Awakens mongo
>>68079898
I'm with this guy. This is actually the fourth for anyone keeping count. Just because it was called blah blah blah killer doesn't mean it wasn't a death star.
>>68079449
>>68079837
what if we take two death stars and put them together so they look like boobs
>>68079837
No.
we had a space station called death star
then we had a planet station called star killer
next up is a star station called death base killer
These Desu Stars are as easy to destroy as they are to build. Maybe they should put a little more time into it rather than farting out Assassin's Creed Space Stations.
>>68079449
>>68080075
>Assassin's Creed Space Stations
XD holy shit!
>>68079738
Then how come they can easily have one rebuilt to at least 75% completion by ROTJ? That was probably around 4-5 years after the first Death Star was destroyed.
>>68079990
>tfw you realise death star porn doesn't exist
>>68079990
They have different sizes so that would look weird.
>>68079837
LOGH already did it
>>68079449
This is actually the fourth one.
>>68079990
YES! YES! FIND ONE!!
>>68079837
and 3 for the end of the trilogy?
that would be so poetry
>>68080243
boobs aren't the same size on a person, virgin
>>68079449
>no trillions of Wookie slaves pulling it into place with a rope
Dropped.
>>68079449
idk if it's bait or not, but I just learned today that Rogue One takes place before A New Hope, so that'd be the original Death Star.
>>68079837
Holy shitThis can actually work
>>68079544
Do you know how long government projects take? Things that would take a normal, private enterprise 2 years to build will take a government 15-20 years due to bureaucratic red tape and lazy workers. If the emperor is so evil, he really should've went around the empire and used outside independent contractors for this job instead.
>>68079466
But it looks different
>>68081034
>tfw he did that for Death Star II which is why it was almost thrown together in 3~ years
>>68080149
retarded writing. a more realistic timeframe for this kind of project would be in the scale of centuries.
even with the most advanced technology imaginable, there's some limits imposed by nature.
>>68080916
jej
>>68079449
and they dont even know how to write a story around it
I would love to see, maybe in the next trilogy or the one after it, a once again fully realized Jedi Order use some crazy force army meditation shit to deflect or nullify the projectile of another Death Star. Like Vader using his hand to absorb Han's blaster fire, but on a planetary scale.
It would explain why the concept of the weapon only arose after the Jedi had been exterminated, and it would explain Vader's comment that the station pales in comparison to the Force literally.
>>68079837
Save that shit for episode 9 son.
>>68079879

/THREAD CLOSED
>>68079544
They actually got two thirds done when it turned out they'd ordered everything in metric measurements but the plans were written in Geonesian Imperial measurements, ironically. The whole project had to be scrapped.
>>68079566
Dat some starkino in the making
>>68079449
>it's a star wars death star episode...again
>>68082100
Can someone explain to me how the new empire, whatever the fuck they're called, managed to build that obscenely large weapon without anyone noticing?
Something so fucking big must have taken decades.
How did that shit go unnoticed?
>>68079837
DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS.. WE ALL KNOW DISNEY LURKS HERE
>>68079544
I just realized that young Tarkin just looks like somebody wearing a rubber mask.
>>68082198
It's a real dude.
>>68079466
THIS
>another death star
he'll be fine
>>68082172
The first order built into a planet, rather than build one up.
And it wasn't really secret, it was just the New Republic had little military and little fucks to give.
>>68082215
That's even more horrifying.
>>68081906
>It's a john mclane uses a rope to swing across 2 death stars episode
>>68082248
quite
>>68082231
Do plate tectonics not exist in this universe?
That planet shit makes no sense.
Also, their earthquakes are entirely powered by plot relevance.
How are there world shattering quakes at the saber battle, and absolutely fucking nothing in the forest where queef gets knocked down?
>>68082172
They used mind force control to make it look like nothing was being built
>>68082268
simpsons did it.
>>68082281
>when earthquakes happen they effect an entire planet at once
uhmm.. lol?!
>>68082281
I like to assume JJ was thinking, "HEY, if it's a snow planet, that must mean theres's no magma underneath right!?".
>>68082281
>Do plate tectonics not exist in this universe?
Not every planet has plate tectonics. Even terrestrial planets don't, if their geological process is stalled, and since this planet's core is hollowed out, it certainly doesn't have a working geological process anymore.
This is why Mars has huge craters and canyons on it that have never been filled in or moved.
>>68082309
>Implying that the saber battle went far enough to out-distance those quakes that were literally ripping the planet apart.
uhmm.. lol?!
>>68079691
Probably to test thresholds
>>68080279
That would be amazing to see
>>68082337
>hollowed out core
wut...
You know what I miss? The fucking spectacle. Don't show me a short ass spaceship battle, show me some cool shit.
>>68079990
I like were this is going
Considering the volume of the thing why not just make one million star destroyers?
Even a couple would be enough to fuck up a planet through orbital bombardment and you can move the one million star destroyer swarm from system to system and fuck up everything in your path.
>>68082343
they werent earthquakes it was the base exploding which is underground, they were far away from the base
>>68082436
They were WALKING.
Those explosions went across entire ecological biomes.
They could not possibly have walked that far in one battle.
>>68082386
They show the diagram of it, it's got an empty center, presumably to hold all that sun energy when it's chargin' its lazar.
>>68082408
Yeah, but this can shotgun whole star systems from across the galaxy, and can eat a sun in the process (which is definitely more damaging, if not as precise).
Really, what they should make more of are Galaxy Guns. Just a space station floating somewhere that can burp out a little hyperspace missile that goes and blows up any planet or space station you want.
There were three Death Stars. First was a prototype, much smaller than the original.
The original was much larger, but even it is absolutely dwarfed by Death Star II.
>>68082395
Considering Lucas isnt involved, we won't get that
>>68082461
shut the fuck up bitch
>>68082485
not canon m8
>>68082473
What I love is that people could watch the blast travel.
That shit would have to be so absolutely batshit crazy fast, you wouldnt have a chance in hell of seeing it coming.
>>68082502
JJ go home.
>>68082494
Autism: the post.
>>68079573
And we are becoming increasingly efficient at it.
>>68082309
>>68082343
>uhmm.. lol?!
Kill yourselves, Redditors.
>>68079837
Return of the Jedi almost did it.
To be honest it's only a smart idea for the bad guys to re-make the thing that almost helped them wipe-out the rebellion.
Prior to RotJ bad guys rarely improved upon old plans that worked/almost worked.
The reason why it's not lame in RotJ is because it's not the focal point of the movie, Luke and Vader's final showdown/Luke resisting temptation is.
TFA having another trench run is pretty weak
HEY GUYS
GUYS
DID YOU KNOW
GUYS
DID YOU KNOW
THAT THERES ACTUALLY NO SOUND IN SPACE
BUT THERE'S SOUND IN STAR WARS SPACE
SO ITS LIKE
NOT REAL
>>68082822
Are you implying Episode 7/8/9 is a continuation of the series instead of a reboot?
