Appreciating the original vision

https://feddit.org/post/27126697

Praxis rings ruined movie explosions. They aren’t realistic at all. Explosions in space are mostly spherical. Therefore the original is the most realistic.
Plus once all the air burned up that was in the death star there would be no more left to fuel a fireball. So the parts of the death star getting blown away would look normal but the fireball would die off quickly and not spread very far.
It was a scifi energy source and materials emit light when hot. You don’t need oxygen.
