Maybe the Second Death Star was able to re-fire a lot quicker, because it probably doesn't take as much Cyber Crystal Juice to destroy a Capital Ship as it would an entire Planet.
There's one more legends source that gives us insight on how the superlaser worked. In Rogue Squadron 3, Rebel Strike, the imperials build a superlaser on the planet Dubrillion, presumably a prototype for the Death Star 2. In the game, Wedge Antilles uses an At-At to destroy 3 spinning generators on the inside, taking out the laser. These bear a striking resemblance to the generator in the death star
That beam shaft at 1:43 is likely a center focusing laser, as look at its size relative to those workers, vs the incredibly large lasers that are visible from miles away in the external view. A laser of the size in the interior shot would likely not be visible in the exterior shot due to how small it is, and it was likely fired from the center of the disc to hit the collision point of the other lasers and unify them all into one shot.
I remember playing The Force Unleashed and walking through the workings of the Death Star, was the first time I actually became curious on how the Death Star worked.
I hadn't seen Rebels or read any canon or legends (I'm more of a fan of the movies) but I was aware of how light sabers were powered. When they mentioned that the Death Star was powered using the same crystals as light sabers in Rogue One I remember being shocked and whispering to myself "blasphemy!". It seemed so wrong that the empire would use them for evil than for good and (to me) really helped the story out.
Back to the point made at 2:00, in the Star Wars the force unleashed 1, your running around the inside of the Death Star in that section. This allows you to see more than one “light bridge” where these giant beams of green condensed death are shooting through in periodic intervals.
Another question I have is what kind of range does it have? It obviously has to travel to the vicinity of the target planet but is there a specific range they try to be at?
I always wondered what transportation was like on the Death Star. I know there were elevators but other than that, if someone had to get from one side to the other for a meeting or something, how did they get there?
the firing rate isn't based on the weapon configuration but on the charge level used and energy reserves depleted with each shot. taking out several rebel ships quickly uses a small fraction of the power required to destroy a planet.
the death star is a giant lightsaber change my mind, it has the same power source, the same technology in focusing the beams just scaled way up, and doesn't use the same energy fields to focus the length of the beam
I'm thinking that the cyber crystals only transform energy directed at them (or into them) into the beam of a light saber or super laser. So, recharging the superlaser might be like recharging giant capacitors before firing. Maybe they are able to recharge faster. Or maybe they just use "one reactor" at a time to fire quickly at capital ships. There are 8 reactors after all.
AdmiralOctopus no problem man. The last bit before the credits roll is definitely worth waiting the entire film for, and that's saying something when the overall film is already good
i like the thought of kyber crystals stolen from the lightsabers of fallen jedi being used to replace the larger one that were unobtainable, just to add a little insult to injury
Kyber Crystals do not POWER anything, they only BEND ILGHT like diamonds. The Death Star is powered by the fusion of interstellar hydrogen. According to the original Star Wars novel by George Lucas, the Death Star blew up planets by "an abstract M/A equation," i.e. conversion of matter to energy, since fusion converts matter to energy by converting hydrogen to iron or lighter elements.
it is anti matter, the green outsid is plasma, which is a conductor of electricity, the red part in the centre of the beam is antiprotons or positrons, which can be kept in place with a magnetic field, an electric current is ran through the plasma surrounding the antimatter, a flow of charge can produce a magnetic field. Anti matter can wipe out a planet with the amount used in the deathstar beams, the plasma also protects the antimatter from hitting atmospheric gases as seen in rouge one in the last scene where tarkin tower is destroyed by the plasma and not the antimatter, the proton torpedo reacted with the antimatter blowing up the death star.
The first Death Star on film seems to have overlooked the center beam aperture which I believe was the tunnel displayed on film. There should have been a beam coming from the center aperture that then combines with the 8 feeding it
I just came up with an episode 8 theory I thought you might appreciate! While starkiller base is being destroyed in TFA, Snoke tells the lieutenant to bring Kylo Ren to him. Im speculating that sometime during Episode 8, we will see Kylo kill Snoke (or at least we'll hear about it in the crawl)!!!
I always figured that the reason why the Second Death Star could fire more quickly was simply because they were firing at lower power setting. There are 1,440 minutes in an hour, or 480 three minute periods. One 480th of the 2x10^32 watts required to blow up a planet is still A LOT of firepower.
so in the game the force unleashed whether its canon or not you fight your way through the first death stars laser tunnels and even see the crystals, focusing mirrors and how they are all directed into one beam
I wondered how they found so many super large kyber crystals but they did say in Catalyst that the crystals were all the indestructible so it's possible that they survived the destruction of the Death Star and were gathered again for the second try.
So what would happen if when shooting a planet they were 'off' and didn't get a direct hit? Say off to one side of the planet. Would the blast still be enough to outright destroy it, or blow half the planet apart but the rest stays?
My theory is that there are 128 giant Kybur crystals. If you watched the incomplete Legacy episodes for The Clone Wars, you will see that the giant Kybur crystals, when being exposed to even a small amount of energy, will supercharge that same energy and redirect it back out in a massive blast. My theory is that a massive burst of energy from the main reactor strikes each of the first 64 crystals, which then fire an immensely powerful beam down their shafts towards the next 64 crystals, creating even more powerful beams. After that, the beams combine together into 8 separate beams (as we see in Force Unleashed, even though it is not canon any more), which fire out around the dish before merging into a single beam. We also know from the Legacy episodes that being hit simply by a few Dwarf Spider droids for about a minute is enough to make the Kybur crystals generate enough power to destroy a starship of just about any size. So imagine how much damage they could do when firing at each other to focus their power even more, after being hit from energy from a city-sized reactor core.
Yeah, standard years, which is the amount of time it took coruscant, the human home-world and galactic capital, to orbit its sun. 365 days, with 24 hours per day. So coruscant is basically Earth.
When I saw Star Wars in 1977 and the DS blew up Alderaan, I wondered what kind of primary weapon this behemoth station had. As the years and more installments passed, I heard it referred to as a Super Laser. I was working on my BS in Physics at that time and my first thought was if that weapon was a laser, then even with a bajillion joules/sec output, all it would accomplish would be to burn a beam sized hole in one side and out the other. No huge kaboom an instant after touching the planet. Fast forward to the recent day when I saw Rouge One. Both Jedha and Scarif shots resulted in what I imagine a 100 megaton thermonuclear blast would look like. I thought about what looked like a confinement field around the central beam as it passed by the pair of gunner's mates on the platform adjacent to the tunnel where the beam was shooting through. It kind of reminded me of the confinement field on a Tokamak fusion reactor. It occurred to me a "what if." What if the electromagnetic properties of the laser, as generated and amplified by the crystals was tweaked to form a sort of confinement field for a plasma made up of positrons and anti-protons? The fired beam certainly wasn't a laser as its motion through space can be tracked by the naked eye. However a dense beam of an antimatter plasma directed by and protected from contact with matter until striking the target is plausible. One of the reasons, thankfully, there isn't such a weapon in our reality is because human science has not overcome the considerable engineering hurdles to create one. My hypothesis is just based on what we know is possible. Still, what was seen in any SW movie could be explained by this postulation of mine where the SL is concerned.
one thing I always wondered is, why spaceships face each other at the right angle every time. I mean I would like to see a star destroyer exiting hyperspeed into a spacebattle up side down or something.
BelaM27X11 Episode III's beginning had something along those lines, personally i think the different Admirals/Captains use the planets to position their ships in a "normal" way also the hyperspace lanes are made in that way.
but let's imagine one ship starting from above the north pole and one from above the south pole of the same planet and going through hyperspace to the same location, shouldn't one be 180° rotated? I mean I don't think hyperspace turns the ships while traveling.
It's freaking plasma! Light wouldn't combine like that unless they were using hard light. They'd have to slow and redirect the photons which is a concept barely being explored now in the future. A long, long time ahead of Star Wars.
How was it possible for the Death Star's laser, which was actually really small, to destroy an entire planet that was much bigger than the Death Star itself?
Would had been much more realistic if the Deathstar was actually a “Dyson” sphere. (A spherical structure build around a White Dwarf (a star with a mass comparable to the sun and the volume comparable to an earth sized planet))
"It still harnessed the power of crystals, just not Kyber - BURRRRRRP!!!" OMG that was great. I'm surprised Tarkin didn't say "You may fire when ready"
Is there a set number that tells us how much energy (Joules) was produced by the Death Star laser, and what would the largest planet it could destroy be?
So if the Empire had such a difficult time procuring Kyber crystals for the first Death Star; How are they able to get more crystals for the second Death Star so quickly and easily? Also if in Cannon the Kyber crystals are white or clear until a Jedi or Sith imbues it with the Force, their by giving it it's colour; why then is the laser of the Death Star green?
Wate if the Death Star fires green light and it is powered by kyber crystals then is it possible to change the colour? Phone is going nuts on spelling sorry
Have you played the Force Unleashed 1, because starkiller go throw the super laser tunnels in the game and you can see the more ener working's of the Laser.
The problem I have with the Death Star being powered by Kyber crystals, is that it has been explain in SWR and other canon/legends stories that only force wielders (Jedi/Sith) can even FIND the kyber crystals. So how did the Empire amass such a stockpile of them? I doubt the Emperor or Vader grabbed a pick and mined them themselves.
Why was the beam green? Why didn't Sidious and/or Vader together, " Bleed" the crystals, if possible to make a red colored sith super laser? Seems more appropriate for a sith super weapon...great video.
I always believed that the reason the superlaser on the Death Star II had such a short refresh rate is because it was not firing at full power. After all, it does not take that much to take out a capital ship, even a single shot. True Palpatine said to Luke, ". . . Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station." I think that was a boast, to an extent. I think, since Palpatine knew of the imminent attack, he wanted a show of power.
Fun Theory - Since lightsabers deflect laser bolts, it makes sense that in an angular orientation, these beams could deflect each other to form a combination of the 8 beams.
I am wondering can anyone answer this? Why do Sith need to make their crystals bleed anyway? Is it really just a rite of passage? It's not like it will prevent light side users from using it, doesn't make the lightsaber more durable or cut through more stuff. It just seems to act like a regular lightsaber? I liked it back before because you used to see Jedi with red lightsabers and Sith with non red lightsabers. I am also confused. If kyber crystals are colorless, how did the Death Star use a green laser? Wouldn't it be a clear laser unless it's attuned with the force? Anyone now?
The power comes not from the crystals or the big generator inside. There come from the junkyard and the waste incineration plant and of course from the canteen. Beans and cabbage soup gives the power.
Nick Snave No disagreement there, personally think that new canon screwed up some good Legend things like the Mandalorians (its a culture not a humanoid race), SW tech and making force stuff way to much mythic and deity stuff.
If I remember it correctly they where on the hunt for giant Kyber christals in Rouge One so I bet its safe to say that in cannon the DS is powered by those now. Johan.
I still prefer them at least putting in marginal effort to make it believable. Nobody expected a PHD dissertation, it just shouldn't have massive plot holes or unintentional unhealthy parallels.
"so I asked them about putting something in there like a railing, the response was they're worried about us leaning all day" Well I guess if they had to set up 128 railings, yeah I guess I could see them thinking that it would just be easier to replace a Red shirt that just got instant space cancer!
How come the laserbeam is green now that it is confirmed that all kyber crystals are colorless until attuned with someone who is force sensitive? And if it was done by Darth Vader or The Emperor, wouldn't the alignment have made it red?
I want to know how the beam is green if the color of the kyber crystal is determined by the force user that wields it. According to cannon if a dark side user wields one of the crystals it gets corrupted and turns red. Is the Death Star a good guy and just misunderstood? 😱 spin of movie alert 🚨
![The Guy who Fired the Death Star Superlaser [Legends]](/img/n.gif)
Bugger, totally forget about the Instantaneous Space Cancer in my Death Star Episode. :P
I love the blooper at the end.
I prefer the Kyber Crystals. It's cool that the same thing that powers lightsabers powers the Death Star.
3:34 "instantaneous space cancer" XD
or at the very least all those dudes are sterile.
So it's like cancer... but in space.
Lol that ending has me in tears xD
Maybe the Second Death Star was able to re-fire a lot quicker, because it probably doesn't take as much Cyber Crystal Juice to destroy a Capital Ship as it would an entire Planet.
Kyber*
GeauxBurns the second Death Star had more than one reactor
great outtake!
thanks for watching them!
William Jakespeare qq
A great disturbance in the force :-)
Jesus, that ending.
lol yup.
this was my favorite episode so far. more humor, more honesty, great facts still. well done good sir!
I saw Rogue One earlier today and I can't wait to talk with everyone about it. It's gonna be worth the wait guys.
Youri van Steeg Well kinda but no
AronBagel I know. It's really good
R u serious? am I the only one who thinks rogue one was a complete letdown
That burp alone deserved a like

I remember playing The Force Unleashed and walking through the workings of the Death Star, was the first time I actually became curious on how the Death Star worked.
“Experimental star destroyer” with death laser built in. I guess the idea never was scrapped, just made a secret by Palpy lol
I hadn't seen Rebels or read any canon or legends (I'm more of a fan of the movies) but I was aware of how light sabers were powered. When they mentioned that the Death Star was powered using the same crystals as light sabers in Rogue One I remember being shocked and whispering to myself "blasphemy!". It seemed so wrong that the empire would use them for evil than for good and (to me) really helped the story out.
Best video! Biggest curiosity of the Death Star.
Running through those laser tunnels in The Force Unleashed was so much fun.
Back to the point made at 2:00, in the Star Wars the force unleashed 1, your running around the inside of the Death Star in that section. This allows you to see more than one “light bridge” where these giant beams of green condensed death are shooting through in periodic intervals.
yay it's a new video! ALWAYS makes my day thank you!
Legends makes a lot more sense, when you shoot 8 lasers at each other they just go through, but weird exotic matter can follow its own rules.
Another question I have is what kind of range does it have? It obviously has to travel to the vicinity of the target planet but is there a specific range they try to be at?
I always wondered what transportation was like on the Death Star. I know there were elevators but other than that, if someone had to get from one side to the other for a meeting or something, how did they get there?
I'm going to see Rogue One at midnight tonight! Can't wait!
the firing rate isn't based on the weapon configuration but on the charge level used and energy reserves depleted with each shot. taking out several rebel ships quickly uses a small fraction of the power required to destroy a planet.
Can you do a video on Mon Calamari Star Cruisers?
can you do a video about how star fighters have changed through star wars
the death star is a giant lightsaber change my mind, it has the same power source, the same technology in focusing the beams just scaled way up, and doesn't use the same energy fields to focus the length of the beam
I'm thinking that the cyber crystals only transform energy directed at them (or into them) into the beam of a light saber or super laser.

Best part of this is at 5:33
I'm going to the midnight release of Rogue One in a few hours! I'm really excited!
AdmiralOctopus nice! enjoy the show, i've seen it and its worth the wait
sweet tooth That's good to hear.
And thank you!
AdmiralOctopus no problem man. The last bit before the credits roll is definitely worth waiting the entire film for, and that's saying something when the overall film is already good
I just saw the midnight release. It's SO GOOD.
LeinadTM i know, right? but no spoilers for our OP friend here though :P
i like the thought of kyber crystals stolen from the lightsabers of fallen jedi being used to replace the larger one that were unobtainable, just to add a little insult to injury
Nice blooper at the end
I'm so excited for rouge one, I'm a little annoyed that I couldn't get tickets for tonight's showing so I'm going on Saturday
Chancey Porter I'm going tomorrow. I can't wait!!! :P
Sebastian Sello I'm going today!
For Christ's sake its Rogue not rouge

Lets not forget that gunships we see in episode II also had small superlaser (?) turrets! ;)
Could we see an updated version of this? Cos there's a ton of new details from Catalyst and from the Rogue One official site
The first Death Star on film seems to have overlooked the center beam aperture which I believe was the tunnel displayed on film. There should have been a beam coming from the center aperture that then combines with the 8 feeding it
eh
you are really getting Into the death Star.
I just came up with an episode 8 theory I thought you might appreciate! While starkiller base is being destroyed in TFA, Snoke tells the lieutenant to bring Kylo Ren to him. Im speculating that sometime during Episode 8, we will see Kylo kill Snoke (or at least we'll hear about it in the crawl)!!!
I like playing "who has the worst job" when I watch movies, standing inside a superlaser beam tunnel seems right up there
I always figured that the reason why the Second Death Star could fire more quickly was simply because they were firing at lower power setting. There are 1,440 minutes in an hour, or 480 three minute periods. One 480th of the 2x10^32 watts required to blow up a planet is still A LOT of firepower.

5:31 "well its still honest the power of cristals but not cyber cristal- **RUULP**" Nice outtake =D
Okay, I will give you a like just for the burp at the end! lol!

Did the Star wars galaxy count the years like we do?
No.
Ty for the info but do you know if they counted years?
yes its called standard years
Yeah, standard years, which is the amount of time it took coruscant, the human home-world and galactic capital, to orbit its sun. 365 days, with 24 hours per day. So coruscant is basically Earth.
Matthew Lafferty Not according to Wookiepedia. starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Standard_year
The movie is out in Norway! I've seen it

With cannon changes on crystals (Kyber) and how they get their color, why the ray is green? ty
Do a video about how the death star moves around.
one thing I always wondered is, why spaceships face each other at the right angle every time. I mean I would like to see a star destroyer exiting hyperspeed into a spacebattle up side down or something.

OMG, that BURP was a #PRICELESS ending! hahaha
Cannon: This is what happened.
Legends: This is why it happened.
Why was the beam green? Why didn't Sidious and/or Vader together, " Bleed" the crystals, if possible to make a red colored
sith super laser? Seems more appropriate for a sith super weapon...great video.
When you burped, we both said "ooh!"
Rogue One showed an amazing use of the death star 😁
The Eclipse also had a built-in superlaser, btw.
i think theres only one tunnel in the middle the reason u cant se it is bcs its so time compared to the death star
This makes me miss the Legends again...
in wich Episode of Rebels did we see a massive kyber crystal?
I always believed that the reason the superlaser on the Death Star II had such a short refresh rate is because it was not firing at full power. After all, it does not take that much to take out a capital ship, even a single shot.
True Palpatine said to Luke, ". . . Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station."
I think that was a boast, to an extent. I think, since Palpatine knew of the imminent attack, he wanted a show of power.
Just saw rogue one (i'm from france).
ITs awesome, i loved TFA but this one is better can't wait to see it again saturday
Fun Theory - Since lightsabers deflect laser bolts, it makes sense that in an angular orientation, these beams could deflect each other to form a combination of the 8 beams.
Wait, the beam focuses on the middle of nowhere, the lasers are pointed away from the lens, so how is it focused?
Oh, it's magmetic
The Eclipse Star Destroyer that the resurrected Palpatine used was left out. It's super laser couldn't destroy a planet, but it could break it up.
I am wondering can anyone answer this? Why do Sith need to make their
crystals bleed anyway? Is it really just a rite of passage? It's not
like it will prevent light side users from using it, doesn't make the
lightsaber more durable or cut through more stuff. It just seems to act

Well his just proves that most Legend stuff beats new canon.
Nick Snave No disagreement there, personally think that new canon screwed up some good Legend things like the Mandalorians (its a culture not a humanoid race), SW tech and making force stuff way to much mythic and deity stuff.
squid bear I said most
Hivedragon Eh this one didn't really
in other words, the death star was a gigantic lightsaber
Just saw Rogue One it was really good
was darth vader in the bacta tank?
Quinton Lane it was sad though
joethahobo well I dont really want to spoil it here but "Search your feelings"
then where would you like to spoil it.
JamiDoesStuff but it isn't out yet....at least in the U.S.
Didn't the Eclipse Star Destroyer also have a super laser?
If I remember it correctly they where on the hunt for giant Kyber christals in Rouge One so I bet its safe to say that in cannon the DS is powered by those now. Johan.
Just got home from seeing Rogue one. Bet you have some questions :3 but i wont spoil it quite yet
Nice ending
can you do a video about " what if Darth vader had find R2-D2 with death's star plans in episode 4"?would vader remember R2?
Star wars has always been more science fantasy than science fiction
I still prefer them at least putting in marginal effort to make it believable.
Nobody expected a PHD dissertation, it just shouldn't have massive plot holes or unintentional unhealthy parallels.
Rogue One came out, and it showed that Kyber Crystals were needed as fuel as they took it from the city in which I don't know what the name is
The blooper got me laughing
"so I asked them about putting something in there like a railing, the response was they're worried about us leaning all day"
Well I guess if they had to set up 128 railings, yeah I guess I could see them thinking that it would just be easier to replace a Red shirt that just got instant space cancer!
How come the laserbeam is green now that it is confirmed that all kyber crystals are colorless until attuned with someone who is force sensitive? And if it was done by Darth Vader or The Emperor, wouldn't the alignment have made it red?

I want to know how the beam is green if the color of the kyber crystal is determined by the force user that wields it. According to cannon if a dark side user wields one of the crystals it gets corrupted and turns red. Is the Death Star a good guy and just misunderstood? 😱 spin of movie alert 🚨
