More than 34,000 people have signed an online petition calling on the Obama administration to build the "Star Wars" inspired super-weapon to spur job growth and bolster national defense.But in a posting Friday on the White House website, Paul Shawcross, an administration adviser on science and space, says a Death Star would cost too much to build — an estimated $850 quadrillion — at a time the White House is working to reduce the federal budget.Besides, Shawcross says, the Obama administration "does not support blowing up planets."

While it does sound outlandish, it's actually something that's very possible technologically, just probably not very economy-friendly. =P
Do you think the average stormtrooper knows how to install a toilet main? All he knows is killing in white uniforms.
We need to put less money into these weapons of mass destruction and more into our schools. By which of course, I mean Jedi Academies.
Lightsabers don't kill people. People kill people.
