The slowest terror the galaxy has ever seen!
I was watching ANH and studying the Death Star and realized its just a big ball. How long did it take to go from Alderaan to Yavin IV? It didnt seem to have a hyperdrive, and even if it did, what propelled it. it didnt look like it had engines. And for that matter , how did it move at all. Inching its way, maybe moving by exelling air out the exhaust ports that led to its demise?Although that doesnt do much good in space... Anyhoo, i dont get how it moved. If it moved much, it probably had taken months to reach the Yavin System, seeing how Alderaan is in the core, and Yavin is in the Outer Rim. That is my blog for the day. Thank you and good night.
