The Death Star was a military installation that had already shown itself to be aggressive with death tolls in the literal billions. Not a fair comparison.
Yeah but the second time it wasn't even finished yet. They were still under construction.
It was pretty clear what the purpose of it was.
I'm just saying, a construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of a lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet there were independent contractors working on that thing.
