Revan lured the Mandalorians to Malachor V and activated the weapon during a battle. Used by Darth Revan to bring a concrete end to the Mandalorian Wars, the Mass Shadow Generator used mass shadows generator by the gravity of planetary bodies in order to unleash catastrophic destruction.

Death Star IIĪ more powerful version of the first Death Star, the second battlestation featured many micro exhaust ports. During the Battle of Yavin, Luke Skywalker shot a proton torpedo into the port causing a chain reaction in the station’s main reactor resulting in its destruction.

Unfortunately for the Empire, the station had a notable weakness: a thermal exhaust port. A battlestation built by the Empire capable of destroying an entire planet thanks to an enormously powerful beam weapon. With the recent news that The Force Awakens would feature a potential super weapon in Starkiller base, we thought it would be a good idea to go through all the major super weapons you can find in the galaxy far, far away: Death Star Though the prequels only hinted at the planet killers we’d see in the future, many expanded universe writers took the idea of an overpowered superweapon and ran with it… namely Kevin J. Obviously A New Hope set a pretty big precedent with the Death Star, which was followed up on when the second one showed up in Return of the Jedi.
