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
