it's always a Death Star
There are so many terrifying things about the Star Wars universe
Assassin droids, space vampires, super-powered clones, incurable plagues, Wolfmans, and green rabbit guys
But it's always a Death Star!
One of my main critiques about the OT, and almost all subsequent media. You can't do anything bigger than a Death Star. Narratively blowing up a planet in one shot is the biggest bad thing that can happen that's still on a scale people can make sense of. So many Star Wars products have focused on a Big Dumb Object.
Abrams: "oh yeah what if the Death Star... but bigger?"
