Here’s a useless piece of trivia: Out of the 11 canonical Star Wars movies, eight feature the Death Star in one way or another. There’s the original planet-exploding weapon in A New Hope and the rebuilt version in Return of the Jedi. We see early plans for its construction in Attack of the Clones, and that construction itself in Revenge of the Sith, while Rogue One is all about the plans for the moon-sized space station. In the sequels, Force Awakens introduces a planet-sized new version of the Death Star, while The Last Jedi shrinks the tech down to a cannon-sized device, and The Rise of Skywalker sets a key scene in the wreckage of the Death Star. (If you’re keeping track at home, The Empire Strikes Back, Solo, and The Phantom Menace are the only exceptions.)
