      We made the international space station… so why not? When would you like to start? I have a friend who is a builder…

      Also have you watched Eddie Izzard’s ‘Death Star Canteen’ stand up comedy on YouTube? It’s really funny 😀

      We may be able to but we are a long way off. We need to make a lot of scientific discoveries and breakthroughs before we are even close. Also it would cost a lot of money to do it so we would need someone to pay the bills!

      I don’t think we have the parts. The first time they see the death star, Luke says “he’s heading towards that small moon”, which seems to mean that the death star is the same size as a moon, and that means that it will have a big gravitational field. That doesn’t sound like much of a problem until you think about what’s at the middle of the death star, because whatever it is it has a whole moon’s worth of space station sitting on top of it pushing down. We can’t make anything that could survive that, which means I’m afraid we couldn’t make a death star.
