Nerds figured it out..... we laugh in their faces http://www.centives.net/S/2012/how-much-would-it-cost-to-build-the-death-star/
Personally I think the deathstar is made out of an Alloy we don't have. After all this was long ago in a galaxy far far away.
LoL And they didnt even bother to calculate all the cost to assembly that, just the metal. Lazy nerds
You'd also need engines to move the thing around and the damn planet-destroying laser... Basically, they've only calculated the cost for a big ball of steel.
no labour costs? damn! things were different a long time ago in a galaxy far far away....they were idiots
kill the heads of states with resoruces, annex their lands, make their people slaves then get them to build it. Nothing beats free enterprise.
