That would be like taking a bunch of people from jail and having them work on an aircraft carrier.
Is aircraft carrier a good comparison? The empire battleships seem to be the equivalent of aircraft carriers, the death star is more like a nuclear weapon carrying submarine turned into a giant sphere I think?
You know this got me thinking... I'm not super familiar with star Wars, haven't seen any since I was pretty young, but I remember thinking the Death Star was like HUGE, with like the population of a large city living in its labyrinth.
If that's so, the movie really should've shown the "average innocent" Death Star person on break just drinking at the local sector bar, getting surprised and the. blasted unceremoniously by some rebel. They probably had like whole shopping centers that could've been cool to show the banality of that evil. Would've really pushed home the "empire is evil" idea.
Or not because then it's less useful propaganda. But I would've liked it at least

Big War Thing. The comparison is less specific than yours but I think it still works just fine.
