Yup, an affordable 852 with 15 zeros following it.Come to think about it again, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader were rolling in the money like a boss. Ruling the Galactic Empire wasn’t so bad at all.


Smart folk at Centives calculated how much iron it would take to build the planet-destroyer space station and figured out how long it would take to build.

Here’s the reality-check breakdown:

  • Based on the density of a modern warship and scaled up, it would take about 1 quadrillion tons of steel to build one Death Star.
  • The Earth's iron supply is capable of building 2 billion Death Stars.
  • It would take 833,315 years to produce enough steel to start work on a Death Star, meaning you'll be long dead before you'll ever see it anywhere near operational.

While waiting for the Death Star to fully operational, you decomposed body will be useful when the time has come. Petroleum, you are one with them.. Good thing Vader and Palpatine had a Clone army, else Darth Vader’s body will be your petroleum neighbor. Lend me you light saber!

It's a good thing Vader and Palpatine had a Clone army or else the Death Star could have taken an eternity to construct. Life's always better with clones. Don't you agree?
