A couple of people have sent this to me, so I thought I’d better share it. Besides being well-made and rather clever, there is a creepiness to it, as well. Like, what must it have been like on Alderaan, to look up in the sky one day and see this thing hanging over you. Too bad they didn’t show the reaction in the Castro. I’d like to see some stormtroopers accidentally walking into 440 Castro (aka Daddy’s).
There is a rather unsettling creepiness about it…what happens when the fantastical becomes mundane. “Oh, just a massive weapon the size of a moon hanging in the sky that could possibly wipe us all out with one shot…la la la, smoked oysters.”
I think that if it were actually up there, the reaction would be a lot like Cloverfield.

I was a little disappointed that it didn’t end with the Death Star powering up, followed by static-to-black and the DS firing sound.
Otherwise, pretty damn cool.
