A NASA engineer has proposed a method to efficiently build a Death Star, and it's not the way the Empire would have done it.

Instead of constructing the massive weapon from nothing, by shooting materials out from a planet, an asteroid could be used to provide all of the essential building blocks.

The Empire is doing things the hard way; using an asteroid to build a Death Star would require much less work, as metals and organic compounds would already be there.

Thanks NASA, building a cheaper Death Star is just what we needed!
