The Death star why did it take so long ?

EU!!! (queeq isn't hear to say it).

Because after the first one they already had the design figured out, and all that was necesary was the construction.

wheres queeq gone ?

Mesa here. No EU.

I read some books, mostly the Clone Wars era ones though, can't stand post-ROTJ though.

NO EU!!! 😠

I agree no EU

No Europe, i didn't know we have so many anti-Europians here.

Ok the first death star took 20 years to make . If you look at Rotj it happend very quickly (e.g 3 years) so why did it take so long to build the first death star?

They were building a planet destroying weapon...hasn't been done before. They had to go through a lot of trial and error but with the Second Death Star they already had the needed information to construct.

It took so long because Palpatine had to set up a Strip Club on the Death Star befor sending it out

How come? Is that EU?

The thread question can't be answered without mentioning EU.

THen we'd better close it.
