my biggest criticism about the original Star Wars is that they called it a "Death Star". any evil imperialist organization worth its salt would hire a consulting firm to come up with something like "Liberation Sphere"

@healyn y’know, I’m thinking about it here (it’s a long time since I watched the first trilogy) - did anyone Imperial actually call it a Death Star?

@choobs @healyn Yes. In ROTJ the Emporer refers to ‘this fully operational Death Star’

@theronster @healyn pretty sure he says “fully operational battle station” doesn’t he?

@choobs @healyn You know what? Now I’m not sure at all!

@theronster @healyn me neither! I’ve been pondering it all day :)

@choobs @theronster pretty sure at one point Vader says, "we're gonna blow a bunch of shit up with this awesome Death Star". could be wrong

The infamous deleted "TIE Fighter hotbox scene" is officially Not Canon, despite having been around forever.
