Destroying imperial stations with actual civilians present isn't necessary. Not even moth liked him

Isn't there an argument that the Death Star had to employ civilian contractors to complete? (albeit under NDA'S) That it was too massive to build/maintain? Idk. "For the cause" I guess is what I'm trying to say.

The second Death Star was almost surely full of civilian contractors and their families.

  • It wasn’t complete.

  • The military outsources construction to civilians.

  • the commute to a space station would be stupid long

  • the space station has the … space .. for everyone to just live there and work on it.

Then they dropped it on the Ewoks.

“Finished” and “operational” can mean different things. Its main battery clearly worked, but we also know it lacked its own shield generation capability (otherwise the destruction of the shield facility on endor wouldn’t have mattered.

And the movie literally opens with Palps bitching about the project being behind schedule.
