LOL
and i thought my professor in geology had balls to use a picture of the deathstar in his lecture about the origin of the planets….apparently he just used a pic of mimas.

Actually the Saturnians saw Lucas’ film and decided to build a battlestation to destroy humanity. Pretty crude one too…

Would I be the first to point out that these two should be switched?
The Death Star totally looks like Mimas…

Pretty sure Mimas was around first.

Everyone, head out to Pluto and use a giant engine to fling the worthless planet onto the moon, then we all die and laugh at the exploding Death star, or we just wait ’till its above our skies, or we could take a rocket there and fire machineguns at the craters and the laser, or we could just wait for the Aliens from Megas XLR or from Star Trek come to the rescue and blow the Giant apple to bits before it blows saturn and the rings blow up Jupiter which makes a nuclear reaction and pushes asteroids to mars which crashes on the moon which blows earth and the rest of humans blow venus with rockets then hit mercury with boxing gloves and blow the sun with more than 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,001 asteroids. (the 001 is Mimas…

Wikipedia sez:

When seen from certain angles, Mimas closely resembles the Death Star in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which is also said to be several hundred kilometers in diameter. This is purely coincidental, as the first film was made three years before the first close-up photographs of Mimas were taken.[13]

so it IS wierd that they look alike…3 years after the movie was made, a moon is discovered that looks EXACTLY and is AROUND THE SAME SIZE as the Death Star…kinda strange dont’ya think?

you would think that a meteor or comet strike that large would have shattered a moon that small.

technically there was no “abandoned wreckage” it was blasted to smithereens, leaving nothing but endlessly floating debris in space.

Actually, we didn’t know that mimas looked like that until after A New Hope was released.

I’m not going to argue over the name of the moon, because I’m not sure. There was a George Lucas documentary and he said they based the Death Star on one of Saturn’s moons. So, it should be no surprise that they look alike.

Actually, it DID orbit the planet to get to the moon.
