So could the Death Star move at light speed? It just doesn't look like it would be capable.
When you are a superweapon with half the total firepower of the imperial fleet, you don't have to move fast.
BTW:Facilitating the Death Stars realspace propulsion were a network of ion engines that transformed reactor power into needed thrust. Using linked banks or 123 hyperdrive field generators tied into a single navigational matrix, the death star could travel across the galaxy at superluminal velocities. The incredible energies harnessed by the station combined with its great mass gave the death star magnetic and artificial gravitational fields equal to those found on orbital bodies many times larger.

I read the entire Death Star page that you linked. God I need help.

Did many Bothans die recovering that?

This indeed makes you the residential Death Star expert. I honestly didn't know that there was so much background information on it. My question is how big would the Death Star be in relation to Earth?

Pretty sure he just cut and pasted that.

Maybe so, but there are folks who really get into that stuff.

Still pretty damn funny though. Even if he did copy and paste.

I used have friends that actually read. One of them read several of the Star Wars books, he told me once that a death star machine was constructed. The machine would seperate at its hemispheres and 'eat' a planet and use the planet's resources to build and give birth to baby death stars.

That's hilarious. Who needs 'em?

So did Luke drop torpedoes down the Death Star's baby maker hole? I guess it would explode. That finally makes sense.

FWIW, I'd get rid of my friend if he ever told me he read that a Death Star gave birth to baby death stars.

just a tad under a parsec.
if I had to guess.

Geez. I wonder why there aren't any girls on this thread.
So strange.

don't think so, as I understand it...parsec is a measure of distance.

Not as fast as "Ludicrous Speed".

<---not a physic guy
You are correct. I though solo's Kessel's run in under 12 parsec was a time.

The Falcon is often connected to the Kessel Run, a pathway from Kessel past the Maw Black Hole Cluster used by smugglers to transport precious Glitterstim spice.[5] Solo in A New Hope brags that the Falcon made the Kessel Run in "less than twelve parsecs", referring to his ability to move the ship closer to the Maw's black holes and therefore cut the distance traveled.[5] On the A New Hope DVD audio commentary, Lucas comments that, in the Star Wars universe, traveling through hyperspace requires careful navigation to avoid stars, planets, asteroids, and other obstacles.[6] Since no long-distance journey can be made in a straight line, the "fastest" ship is the one that can plot the "most direct course", thereby traveling the least distance.[6] Solo's twelve-parsec Kessel Run is depicted in Rebel Dawn by A. C. Crispin.[7] In a Dark Horse Comics issue, "The Kessel Run," the Kessel Run that Solo mentions is a scam that Lando uses to win money back from Solo after losing the Falcon to him. Lando and his friends trick Solo into thinking if he did the Kessel Run quickly, he would gain notoriety among smugglers. Ultimately, it is a scam and a kind of initiation for new smugglers.
