The 'Official' Death Star Pic Thread (VERY pic heavy)

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-11-15 09:22am

I know this is going to crop up sooner or later, knowing the adoration people have for the Ultimate Battle Station, so feel free to post any/all pics of the Death Star, DS2, or the EU varients (Darksaber, Prototype, etc) here.

A couple to start off:

DS1

DS2, had it been completed.

DS1, hand-drawn:

The Saturn moon Mimas, termed the 'Death Star' of our solar System thanks to its defining crater.

The DS2 layout as of Endor, from SW: The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels

Wow. This is very well done. Maybe this could be a scene from Star-Crossed, since I don't see the Falcon anywhere.

That hand drawn one kicks ass, looks so much better than the "whitishness" of the normal DS.

That is a pretty cool picture.

Yeah it is, but I think It would look better with Endor as the background.

Yeah, not too mention the color variations are different. I got a website that I know about that has pics of 2b Death Stars over Coruscant, I'll find them.

Here's a good quality fan-made pic of DS2 and several Star Destroyers:

You'll notice that the Destroyers are quite comfortable with the nebulae Trek ships fear.

Heh. I was referring to the fact that nebulae are overused by inexperienced 3D modelers who just want their renderings to look "kewl."

Well, think about it: it's not canon, it's never going to be, and aren't fan-made pictures done for the very reason of being "kewl"?

I'd think that most people would get sick of seeing generic nebula after generic nebula...

I like the way they add a bit of background, but to each his own.

Wedge and Lando soar over the surface of the DS2 (from Rogue Leader):

more like wedge and lando over the surface of the DS II from the end of rogue leader.
