  STAR WARS: Planets   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Likewise the orbits of a planet's moons tend to be arranged around a special plane, which often is aligned with the planetary spin, which does not have to be parallel to the ecliptic of the planets.
Moons in such a relationship experience either a constructive or destructive orbital resonance: either it has a stabilising effect on the orbits, or else the moons will evolve away to different orbits that are not resonant.
In the case of the similar explosions of the Death Stars, the special plane may be determined by the path travelled by the chain reactions leading to the final detonation, which probably is determined by internal regions of weakness in the station's structure.

 STAR WARS: Astrophysical Concerns
A hundred billion star systems is typical of a galaxy of this size, and the total number of stars would be somewhat larger since a majority of stars are in binary or multiple systems.
Therefore the Death Star is not revolutionary so much for the power it expends as for the fact that such a wealth of energy is concentrated and devoted to a single weapons system, rather than the sustenance of the hyperdrives of a starfleet or the industries and domestic appliances of numerous inhabited worlds.
The moon is described as being one third of the "size" of the planet, but it is unclear whether this refers to diameter, surface area or volume.

 Ancient Cosmic "STAR WARS"?
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches.
Huge craters on the Moon suggest that it was also the target of celestial fireworks, and collisions with massive numbers of asteroids, meteorites, and astral bodies.
Even the cosmic "star war" between the servants of YEHOVAH God and the minions of Heylel is attested to by the discoveries of violent celestial encounters in the Solar System.

One of its moons, Phoebe, like four of the moons of Jupiter, is retrograde in motion and may well be a captured asteroid.

 Revisiting ‘Star Wars’ science   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Laser weapons such as the Death Star’s planet-blaster aren’t totally the stuff of science fiction, however: On a far smaller scale, the U.S. military is testing laser weapons that could be used against orbiting satellites or incoming spacecraft.
Among the candidates are moons revolving around gas giants, such as the fictional moons of Yavin or Endor —; or real-life moons of Jupiter.
Eventually, young “Star Wars” fans may find themselves sucked into a bizarre realm where creatures live around undersea volcanoes, where fusion reactions can take place on a table top, where planets can be detected around double-star systems — in short, the real world.

 Eric the Unread: Star Wars wisdom
Furthermore evidence has been released from secret files that in the Clone Wars Yoda (a suspected spiritual leader of the alliance and fundamentalist evangelical force missionary, currently on the run in the Dagobah system) was responsible for several atrocities - including an unprovoked attack on a sports stadium using government forces, without senate approval.
It is suspected Bothan spies were behind the faulty intelligence that led the alliance to believe the Death Star was a Weapon of Mass Destruction.
Fooled by the neo-Jedi mythology, the Ewoks unwittingly contributed to their own destruction as the environmental consequences of the attack on the deep space research laboratory complex known as The Death Star II continue to mount.
