The Death Star is a fictional moon-sized space station and superweapon appearing in the Star Wars movies and expanded universe. It is capable of destroying a planet with a single destructive energy beam.
Although particular details, such as the superlaser's location, shifted between different concept models during production of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, the notion of the Death Star being a large, spherical space station was consistent in all of them. The buzzing sound counting down to the Death Star firing its superlaser comes from the Flash Gordon serials. Portraying an incomplete yet powerful space station posed a problem for Industrial Light & Magic's modelmakers for Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Only the front side of the 137-centimeter model was completed, and the image was flipped horizontally for the final film. Both Death Stars were depicted by a combination of complete and sectional models and matte paintings.
The original Death Star first appears in its completed form in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Commanded by Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing), it is the Galactic Empire's "ultimate weapon", a space station capable of destroying a planet with one shot of its superlaser. The film opens with Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) transporting the station's schematics to the Rebel Alliance to aid them in destroying the Death Star. Tarkin orders the Death Star to destroy Leia's home world of Alderaan in an attempt to pressure her into giving him the location of the secret Rebel base; she gives them a (false) location, but Tarkin has the planet destroyed anyway. Later, Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) boards the station with his friends and rescues her; in the film's climactic battle scene, he uses his power in the Force to help him destroy the station.

Grey - Without any emotions
Pull me into the right direction - And I will kill you!
I capture a thousand lives
I wait for instructions - I can't wait! I can't wait
Blow me away!
I only destroy to demonstrate my powers
Born to observe the confusion
Your fear is my freedom - And I eat you alive...
My mistakes are too complex for you to understand!
For you to fight...
My mistakes... My mistakes...
I bring the light! I bring the light! I bring the light!
No one survived my shadow - Ever!
When I need you - I start protecting you...
My love gives you life
A death star
I am your death star... I am your death star...
And you can't wait to blow me away!
Blow me away!
You can't wait - You can't wait - You can't wait
To blow me away... To blow me away...
