How Much Is The Death Star Worth?

"That's no moon... It's a space station." -Obi Wan Kenobi

EDIT: Oops! It looks like that second Euro to USD conversion was off. The text should have read "$4,397". Special thanks to Besserwerdenimtryharden for pointing out the problem!

If you think you've fallen on some hard times, just be glad you don't live in the Galactic Empire. Having quadrillions of taxpayer dollars blow up can really put a strain on the economy... Quadrillions? Sextillions? How much was the Death Star again? Can we even calculate the value of something that existed so long ago in a galaxy so far away?

Oops! It looks like that second Euro to USD conversion was off. The text _should_ have read "$4, 397". I don't know how that error made it into the final product (especially considering I did a correct conversion only a few seconds earlier), but I _do_ know how much the Death Star is worth! ...Relatively.

The Empire doesn't use toilet paper. They use Japanese style toilets that clean your butt with water. This is cannon and cannot be debated.

I was surprised to find out that we could (theoretically) build a Death Star without running out of metal. I was sure you were going to say something like "we would have to mine the entire asteroid belt and half of Mars" or something like that. That's usually how these things go lol.

i swear, this guy is great, and his videos are the best

[lilvic]

I can see your subscribers being in the millions. Your like the Vsauce of comic topics

[JCATG]

It's amazing how you were able to integrate such a profound message to a geekishly interesting topic.

Humanity is priceless. No amount of fantasy about sci-fi and superhero movies will ever match its value. I hope we would all learn to appreciate one another more through the subtle messages of these stories.

Again, thank you for that and I hope you'll become more popular. Your videos are amazing!

God bless!

We should charge the amount of energy it takes to destroy the object plus a fee of having to travel there and then decided what the profit would be.

[brendonbalow]

the thing is this space station would be in the realm of affordable, just because not one planet is fitting the bill for it. they are a galatic empire with thousands of planets. but even then you covered it that other minerals and stuff maybe more abundant, so these things might be more realistic

So the government trolled those who petitioned for the building of the Death Star? Nice. XD

[wcapewell]

And this kids, is why multiple planets were used to fund the making of the deathstar.
