- Here is an in-depth look into the Death Star in 3D!
The Death Star has become a cultural icon and a widely recognized element of the Star Wars franchise.
The first version, which appears in the original 1977 film Star Wars, is stated to be more than 160 kilometers in diameter and is crewed by an estimated 1.7 million military personnel and 400,000 droids.
It inspired numerous similar superweapons in fiction, as well as in other Star Wars works.

Technically, the death star is just a massive lightsaber igniting for 2 seconds.
Underrated comment
And one of the madlads that designed the thing never heard Egon Spangler's warning to never cross the streams otherwise it'll result in the destruction of reality (or something like that).
That's what she said.
That's what I was thinking
@@cocodojo "one of the madlads that designed the thing never heard Egon Spangler's warning" - *Irrelevant. Lasers are NOT proton streams!...*
The 900 km size estimate for the 2nd death star is a long standing myth; it's actually around 160 km I think according to lore. The 900 km figure was some fans judgement based on the hologram scene in ROTJ that showed the death star in orbit around the Endor moon; it was not supposed to be to scale.
Amusingly enough, if we scale that hologram of DS2 to the size of its reactor chamber, it shows that its diameter is only 50km or something 🙂
Wookiepedia puts the Death Star 2 at 160km
@@aceman67 Oh, it does? Last time I checked (which was... Oh. Before the sequel trilogy) it was 900km. Okay.
@@Jan_Strzelecki If it was 900 km it would be bigger than Starkiller Base, which is 606 km
agree the hologram was not to scale. But they showed both the moon and DSII iirc during the rebel attack and the DS was distinguishable in front of the moon. Plus severel comments from ILM employees considering its diameter which was supposed to be about 500 miles and if we used the 160km figure the forest moon would be far to small to sustain an atmosphere and therefor life.
Many Bothans died to bring us this video.
You have hited))))
Just so those Bothans did not die in vain, I watched this video twice.
Meh, Bothans are pretty cagey allies.
I'd like to think that the lieutenant that warned Tarkin walked out of the command room *then ran to the nearest hanger bay.*
he ran at warpspeed
Indeed!
Lieutenant : "I've analyzed their attack, sir ; there IS a danger... shall I have your ship standing by?"
Tarkin : "Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances!"
Lieutenant (to self, as he walks away) : "Better than overestimating ours! SEE YUH!"
And that is when he does exactly what you suggested, lol.
And actually, given the size of the thing, that would be a hell of a marathon...
If I remember correctly, at least in legends, the officer was Chief Bast and he didnt make it.

Aw, ruin our fun speculations, why don't you? LOL
Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed, the ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force!

Actually, the death star instantly killing planets makes a lot of sense, but in order to understand why, we have to look at what they are doing. In pretty much all of the shots of the Death Star killing things, we see the laser is hitting the planet, then the planet explodes outward instantly. I think the important thing to rememeber is it's not the laser itself thats (that) explosive, but its actually hitting the core, causing the core to react and expand outwards, engulfing the planet in its own core, which actually makes a lot of sense. In Rogue, they only commense fire on Jedha with a "single reactor ignition" which tells me that it might be the same reaction, but targeted in a different way on a much smaller scale. Like dropping a nuke instead of killing the planet itself
Sort of like the laser is causing atoms to react on a planetary scale. A super nuke.
@@demonicaxeman7264 yes exactly
Smart
I'll remember that for real life 😂
Keepstar feeds on black holes, if Death Star shoot It with its superlaser that's basically providing the station free energy 😂
The Death Star has primary exhaust ports on it's poles, the one used to destroy it was a secondary exhaust port, one of 19 similar ports spaced out across 1 hemisphere, and the only one of which could cause the chain reaction that destroyed the station. It was also ray-shielded, which means it could only be attacked by physical projectiles like proton torpedoes.
Thanks for the explanation. A have a few people asking about the exhaust point. I didn't know about the secondary exhaust point.
What are the ports exhausting? Diesel fumes?
@@cindydott452 Thermal radiation, actually.
@@kennyholmes5196 wouldn't a series of radiating fins be easier to build and safer than what is essentially a hole leading deep into the station?
@@cindydott452 Not without being more vulnerable to exterior fire. Besides, we've already seen that the world of Star Wars operates on a system of "Don't think about the waste heat dispersal aside from the most basic form in giving it a way out that looks cool". An exhaust port that opens out into space would be an easy way to turn a reactor into a bomb when a single, centralized reactor is given just the right jostle while having the justification of "It's ray-shielded, and nobody would be crazy enough to brave the defended trench to get close enough for proton torpedoes to be usable, and it's so small that it's a one-in-a-trillion shot to hit it anyways" at the time of the main design's final draft. That was Galen Erso's sabotage: Convincing the Empire to use a massive, centralized reactor that could be sabotaged in one swift strike instead of many distributed reactors that would need to each be sabotaged.
fun fact, they say kyber crystals power the death star super lazer but in actuality it is powered by its reactor. the kybers do the same thing they do in a lightsaber, they focus and exponetialy increase the energy output. so they do power it to an extent but the initial energy does not come from the kybers themselves
Thanks for the additional information.
@@Halfscreen If you want more info the power core of the deathstar is a hypermatter reactor.
@@boblupart862 thanks for the info
Focusing energy is not powering; that is like saying a magnifying glass powers light

The official numbers of Star Wars are different concerning the size: 120 km for the first Death Star and 160 km for the second one.
Yes, 120 km diameter (DS1) and 160 diameter (DS2) are correct, according to "The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels" and of course the famous Star Wars P&P RPG from "West End Games".
I totally agree. 120km and 160km
I was gonna say, that's more like it. Where he got 900 km for the second was like, what?!?
@@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay in fact the 900 km figure is out there for many years. I don't know where it came from.

@@a_balloon This is not how it works, you can't compare a major change in the physics of the universe that exist since 1977 that makes the previous six movies illogical with some Boi with plot armour
When has Star Wars lore ever been consistent?
Fun fact: the Death Star’s design is based on Mimas, a moon of Saturn, it’s big crater resembles the station’s most powerful weapon “the super laser”
The moon has even been given a funny nickname: “the death moon”
Because of how close it looks like to the imperial station!
At the very end, we get to see all the components of the Death star, albeit as they fly off in all directions...
" no no, he's got a point."
The second Death Star isn’t actually 900 km in diameter, that’s a misconception due to there being no curve when the Executor crashes
I wonder if there are like conspiracy theorists that are constantly trying to prove the Death Star was flat
@@KrateFocksKratesCrateofGaming It'd be president if the election hadn't been stolen from it.
It was originally 900km but it was retconned to 160km in 2008
@@KrateFocksKratesCrateofGaming we have proof that bits of it _were_ hollow!
No 900km ; seccond DS was 320km ; another misconception is Starkiller's diameter 660 km( smaller than 900 km DS2 ??; It's not possible, comparison hologram projector gave information of drastic diameter's difference of DS1 & 2 vs Starkiller).
Starkiller is comparable with Martian-size planets 6000 km diameter +- 600 km approx( or 🪐 Saturn's biggest moon)
I really liked this video. I would like to see more in depth look at this showing how the different decks are arranged inside the Death Star and how the decks change orientation towards the outer layers of the Death Star. You have an interesting way of graphically displaying these objects.
One correction: The vulnerability Galen Erso set up was *not* the exhaust port. Galen was in charge of the central reactor design, not minor structural details like that.
What he did was deliberately introduce a point of instability into the reactor, such that it could be easily overloaded to induce a runaway chain-reaction, which would subsequently cause it to explode completely.
That subtle flaw was all he dared to arrange personally, other than also getting the message about it to the right people. He could only hope that _someone_ would be able to figure out a way to take advantage of that weakness.
When the rebellion got hold of the Death Star plans, they had limited time and means at their disposal, but were luckily able to find a direct pathway to the reactor from outside in the form of a small, overlooked, exhaust port. Some _other_ engineer had not bothered to completely protect the port from outside attack. Not an unreasonable decision, really, considering how unlikely it was that anyone would want, much less be able to, target such minor thing.
Almost certainly that there were other vectors also available for overloading the reactor, but likely most of them would depend on being _inside_ the Death Star at the time. Only the exhaust port was exploitable through outside attack.
Just so. I don't know why people keep saying he designed the exhaust port.
@@starsiegeplayer It was really a clever bit of thinking on the part of the R1 writers. They managed to tie their story into ANH without blatantly contradicting the original dialog (e.g. "I just hope we can find a weakness"). The Rebellion would know what to target-the reactor-but not know how, or even if, they could do so, and it helps to explain how they managed to find such a small vulnerability so quickly.
Now if only Disney had put that amount of thought into the rest of their movies....

Russel Casse: hello boys, I'M BACK!!!
Back when in the theater- at first glance, I and my friends thought the "new"
Death Star was just the remnants of the old one, that hadn't completely
blown up before.
dudee same I thought that too for the longest time!
I thought this when I was a kid! and as a kid I didn't bother reading the opening crawls.
there is a fan theory that parts of the original deathstar were reused in the new one, salvaging as much as they could from the first one makes some kinda sense.
I don't watch star wars just stared getting into the star lore and i thought that aswell to be honest wondered why it looks like that
Yup, same.
Ah, so that's how big they were compared to our moon. Thanks for that!
No problem! When they said it's moon size, I was assuming it's based the same size as the moon.
@@Halfscreen My thought exactly. But the first one looks so small in comparison it's a little hard to believe something that small could blow up a planet. Eh, sci-fi logic.
@@Okiedog1 I think that why it's called Science Fiction and not Science Fact.
That's no Moon, it's a space station
@@Okiedog1 John wick and Viggos disagrees
Dam..almost a hundred years later and I just learned the two Death Stars were different sizes
LOL
P.S. I "Liked" your comment.
just like fastfood portions. Large death star and extra large death star. : D
"It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it."
these wars happened a lot longer ago than that.....it's closer to 10,000 years now.....
think McFly think, light from other galaxies takes thousands if not millions of years to reach the Milky Way and Earth.....by the time the light from alpha Centauri reaches us whatever we see there will have taken place thousands of years ago and that is just our galaxy lolz
@@darthXreven True that.
1:45 Hanger bay 327, that's were they store imperial coats.
Second Death Star wasn't 900, no matter if the executor crash scene is taken as reference, it was not.
Yea it's only 160 km. The star killer base is 900 km
I remember from CANON canon (before the dark times, before Disney) 120km and 160 km... So, the second 30% bigger in diameter and TWICE in volume. It used the same weapon, but with an advanced reaktor design, so it did not needed the extreme long cooldown-recharge period as the first DS had. It was able to "rapid fire"
@@meleardil Exactly, and I liked those measures. There's no need for them to be extremely big. Now in canon they are 160 - 200I think.
@@hernanxx yeah... Darth Mickey made them 30% bigger... because inflation, or something. Megalomania is a common illness among communists... (note: starkiller base is sooo childishly stupid, that I stopped watching the movie when it was introduced, and never after I went anywhere near to the Disney garbage.)
To me even 120km was extreme, beyond the limit of believable.
I remember the times BEFORE Return of the Jedi and second Death star, when the size was first inflated, that they told the original Death Star was 50 km diameter and a Stardestroyer 1600 meter. Now those are barely acceptable.
A Nimitz class nuclear carrier is 340 meter, and the biggest ship ever built, the seawise giant oil tanker is only 460 meters. And those are gigantic! About 500 000 cubic meter!
A 200 km Death star would be 42 000 000 000 cubic meter.
So, you can build 100 000 of the biggest ship EVER built, but in SPACE. Insane.
@@krishnarjunar2724 actually it was around 600km
When the Death Star 2 blew up, due to it's massive size supposedly there was so much debris that the Ewoks were all doomed when their planet was hit by the falling debris and shock wave. Similar to asteroid strikes killing a planet.
How did they throw a party afterwards
that is pure nonsense and no one ever said that in any official capacity. The Death Star II was 160 km in diameter; compared to an asteroid, the DSII is mostly hollow; plus its impact speed would be virtually nothing when compared to an asteroid. This is because the DSII just fell out of the 'sky,' as if it was dropped, once it lost power. Asteroids come in hot with massive speeds, as if God himself through a dense rock at a planet
@@Serkant75 Given it's distance they had a few hours before the debris hit the planet. The rebellion made sure to party and than leave by 6 pm local time. At 7 pm local time that was the end of Endor's forest moon. ;)
@@zombieshoot4318 lmao sounds about right.
There wasn't much debris from DSII, like the first one it completely vaporized. Hypermatter reactor after all.

@@sciencecompliance235 Indeed
The second Death Star is NOT that much bigger. That size is a myth based on the executor crash scene but the canon size is the same as the first
WOW! That size comparison blew my mind. I mean I know DS 2 was big, but had no idea it was THAT hugantic! That's pretty much big enough to have it's own gravity and atmosphere; crazy!
Glad to give you some references at least.
DS2 was only 160km; DS 1 was 100 km
@@pyropulseIXXI 120km* for DS 1
Funny thing about the original Death Star, it didn't have different power settings. It was built to destroy planets. The second Death Star had different settings. That's why it could target Mon Calamari cruisers and blow them up.
Rogue One would like a word with you about this statement.
@@jinta87 I'm talking Lucas Star Wars, not Disney.
@Yasha Kato He's right Disney completely butchered already established Star Wars lore. When they 1st completed the death star they fired it on the planet of despair(different spelling) which is the planet it was orbiting under construction but it was not at full power yet meaning the reactor itself so it didn't completely destroy the planet right away but everybody on it was definitely dead with the 1st shot.
Fun fact I've read about the Death Star, out of universe. The REAL reason for the trench? With the model they made, there was always a gap between the hemispheres, no matter what they did. The 2 halves refused to completely join, and there was always a gap. So they just decided to say that's intentional, and left it in.
That and George had been watching "The Dambusters".
Did anyone else at the time think the second death star was the remains of the original one?
Ya, kinda. I commented once that I wondered if scavengers salvaged enough material to make 100,000 TIE Defenders and/or thousands of ISD2s, to make Thrawn stop saying “I told you so.”
The Death Star was one of the most important sci-fi ideas in film history.
It really was. The sheer audacity of the idea was - IS! - revolutionary.
When I think back to when I was seven, and in utter awe of the ISD capturing the TantiveIV, it was simply beyond my comprehension the magnitude of the Death Star. And, in fairness to my feeble brain and imagination, so it was with Han.
This was all designed and manufactured by Ikea. The original Death Star was never 100% completed because of a missing fastener.
This video is very helpful for my project. Thanks !
No problem
Very interesting, thank you for putting this together. 🙏😁👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Very little-known fact: The Death Star, in its original imperial conception, was supposed to be very long andcylindrical, like a gun barrel, and they were going to call it "The Death Stick" ...
but then the Empire realized that that name was already taken.
Thanks for the video. I have acquired 30 million metric tons of durasteel already. I will put your video to great use.

Palpatine: _"Lets save some money and skip those handrails next to the large conduits to keep people from falling down, ok? Its not like anyone is going to throw someone down, right"_
I doubt they would’ve had bids; the project was top-secret during its construction and just used internal and pre-existing partnerships (Kuat and Sienar).
Should i say thank you for serving? ;)

I was watching that too. He did a good job on his animation.
Really? How many blocks in diameter was your build?
I mean it sounds dumb to say, but I love how the DS is just a giant reactor with a gun strapped to it, with a space station built around it.
Thanks for this
My pleasure!
"After everything those Clone troopers did for our Republic and Empire, we're just going to discard them? Surely we can't-"
Tarkin's honest reaction (the Death Star was completed early):
When the fork someone jumped Death Star II from 160km to 900km? Its like people saying the Super Star Destroyer is now 17 km long instead of the original 7km.
DS I = 120km, DS II = 160km, SSD = 7km, period.
Woah.. so the death Star is actually just a large circular lightsaber 😬
They should have had Vadar guiding dish array into the Deathstar using the force, that would have been so cool!
what a wonderful video, if a bit short, more inside detail please, and can you please do one on death star 2, so we can see what differences there where between the two.
I was thinking about doing the DS 2. Probably down the road.
Brilliant.
How far from the hangar bay was the cell block where Leia was being held? Also how far did Ben have to travel to get to the tractor beam terminal?

Good explanation.
Glad you liked it
Oh it's beautiful
I always thought the Trench ran around the equator. But now i know it ran along a meridian. Learn something new every day
In Rouge One the exhaust port was on the equator unless I'm mistaken.
the first deathstar ist 160 km in diameter, and the second 200 km.... the Starkiller Base (Ilum) is 660 km. That are canon infos.
I would have liked to see where the trash compactors were situated and how they were purged of their refuse contents (and possibly explain how that damn Dianoga creature got into one and nearly drowned Luke).
My understanding of dianogas is they infested sewer systems across the galaxy, finding their way into ship sewage systems and transferring from vessel to vessel.
Apparently the Empire keeps the Dianogas in the trash compactors to help breakdown organic waste.

Why not just build hundreds of star destroyers, each with its own world-ending superlaser. Also, why not have one that you could drop onto a planet and be pulled by AT-ATs.
@@TokyoXtreme why not make them fly now too?
Thrawn told the emperor building a massive super weapon like the deathstar was a waste, that building a fleet of small capital ships would be better.
@@TokyoXtremeI don’t think, at the time, a super laser could be fit into an ISD. Although the tech DID miniaturize rapidly enough that engineers could have at least guessed a 120km/160km sphere wouldn’t be needed to house the weapon for very much longer.
Pretty Cool Video .
Thanks!
It also features a canteen that sells pastas, but still has the wet tray problem.
For the folks in the comments; the 900km diameter theory is because of the imperfections in the visual trick they used for the filming of their surfaces. The DS2, in fact, was officially 160 kilometers in diameter. Honestly, how are people STILL falling for that? It takes not ten seconds to go to a wiki and search the damn thing up.
As for the kyber crystals, they were a focusing array, not a power source. The Death Star super laser is, in essence, an oversized composite lightsaber emitter designed to destroy planets.
Also, I don't like the canon of intentional sabotage. Originally, one Bevel Lemelisk was given the job of actually building a functioning blueprint of the damn thing, because the guy who originally came up with the idea, Raith Sienar, was a political jockey and CEO for the company who made most of the GE's toys. Bevel was given the research material to get such a megastructure in working order.
The vent was just a vent, and it requires SEVERAL leaps of logic for the damn 'weakness' to be exploited. Go watch this for a good explanation; ruclips.net/video/agcRwGDKulw/видео.html
Bevel was also tortured for his 'failure'. Extensively.
Or as Alyx Vance might say, "You can call it the 'Imperial Expeditionary Battle Planetoid'...if you really want to."
1:44 The number "327" has special symbolic significance in George Lucas's movies.
Why is the tractor beam assembly depicted as bigger than the super laser? I'd think the super laser would be the largest subsystem on the death star.
it's funny it has the form of a moon outside but inside everyone is standing in an orientation from bottom to top like in any other non-spherical normal spaceship
Sweet!
Thanks!
The equatoral trench is a bit larger than depicted in this 3D graphic, as in R1 we see the stern and engine assembly of an ISD MK-I ship inside a large hangar.
Atmosphere Containment Projector......and that's the benefit of being able to make it up as you go along.
The original Death Star design was conceived by Poggle The Lesser and the Seperatists Council.
It was designed by Imperial scientists at the Maw Instalation.
I think the interior of a Death Star would be more like a planet, in concentric layers...
Awesome..
I have a question…if the superlaser is facing parallel or horizontally…while lookin at it from a space point of view why does it look like a huge crater to a human while standing on the surface
Most prob didn't know this but there are several stages(Rogue one. showed one of those stages,
Death star beam. Episode 4 was another stage.
Would love to see cut aways of the USS Enterprise. NX-01, Ncc1701, 1701-A, B, C, D E and J

Excelente
I like the idea of a Photon Torpedo that's a solid cone ramming down a shaft slightly bigger than it at 10x the speed of sound for 1/20th the Moon's radius - even if the exhaust was weaker than air at Mt Everest it'd have to be pounded into liquid towards the end. That goes to the idea "Vader did it" - because he didn't want the Emperor to have a weapon that might make him casually replaceable...
Neat videos!
Thank for watching and your input Ben. Great perspective, something I haven't considered.
Im just designing the superlaser interior for 3D printing. An oldschool AMT/Ertl scale model will be custom built R1-style with blinking warning lights...
Nice!
I’d like to see more info on the sublight and hyperdrive engines, specifically the exhaust nozzles. Like, were the nozzles peppered all around the equatorial trench, or did the DS have to rotate in order to go in a different direction?
I haven’t seen/heard/read much regarding its locomotion. Actually, this video is the most I’ve seen, thanks to the cutaway view.
I may do a more detail video on the death star if i have the time.
Thanks! And I really appreciate the work you do - your channel is a really good resource, and I’m on it quite a lot.
Confused- thermal exhaust port is located on the north pole of the diagram at 5:20- was it not the main equatorial trench Luke flew down then?
No, the equatorial trench is much larger.
It's right below the main port
Death Star 2 was functionally completed, potentially never intended to be a giant globe. It was designed to look bigger than first one and still look incomplete to lure rebel fleet into trap.
Earlier Death Star super-laser designs were meant to use phased array retro-proto-turbo-encabulators
You forgot the amplification chambers, observation dome, and convergence centers.
At 90 kilometers it must have taken Obi Wan a hell of a long time to get to the tractor beam controls. No wonder he arrived late at the end. He missed the elevator bus.
Let’s make sure we engineer out that 2m exhaust port entrance to the reactor, and replace it with a Millennium Falcon-sized corridor.
I think the Death Star 2 was actually 200 km in diameter.
Well in canon it was. In legends I think it was 900. (I’m not sure. I’m not really that interested in legends universe)
I have to double check.

you forgot to mention how the deathstar is able to move from one place to another.
And to think even if the torpedo in the exast port didn’t work a simple rewrite of the reactor tolerance system. was code in the central and secondary computer cores could of caused the same effect.
Shure you would need to be a slicer, and be descised as a imperial tech and hack into it and upload a virus. Then re wire some of the shut down systems to make it seam like it worked but just shut some other system down.
You mentioned the hanger bay that the falcon was brought into. Making the observation of the death star having at least that many.
Well I think its safe to say that it has 360 hanger bays. As in 306° on account of it is a sphere.
You might want to mention it the next time you talk about that space station.
Thank you.

There’s nothing that requires each hangar taking up precisely 1deg of arc. Each hangar could take 10deg of arc, or there could be one hangar every 90deg, or there could be multiple hangars for each degree of arc - it depends upon the radius of the station, the width of the hangars, and how many hangars are needed.
Since every circumference of any sphere has 360deg by your logic EVERY sphere must have 360 hangars - including a basketball.

Good point.
Thank you for your comment.

Well actually, according to cannon the first Death Star was 120 km in diameter, not 160 km. 160 km is the length of the 2nd Death Star according to cannon. The 900 km diameter myth is a misconception because there was no curvature when the executor crashed into the Death Star II (2).
6:13 Seconds before the Death Star explosion, it appears as if the operator pressed the "AZ-5" button. xD ... Oddly, Luke was "RED5" of the strike squadrom at the time.
1:45 "Also, near the equator is docking bay 327, also known as hanger bay 327, was a docking bay aboard the death star."
The Docking Bay known as 327 was a docking bay aboard the death star, but also known as hanger bay 327? no way
Where did the stormtroopers from the Death Star take their vacation?
