Power of the Jedi Red Death Star Holograph

 

    The Red Death Star Holograph was released during the Power of the Jedi series. It is a round Red Sphere of the infamous Imperial Death Star. It comes with a clear white stand and a R2-Q5 Imperial Black Droid. It is one inch (1") overall in circumference. A Jedi Force File is included with it that has facts about the R2-Q5 Imperial Droid. One can find this item on ebay quite often if you are collecting Holographic Star Wars items or just as a gift for a collector of Star Wars action figures.

Death Star I

     A mobile battle station with one superlaser weapon on it that could level an entire planet. Planetary Shields could not with stand its firepower. The first Death Star Space Station had approximately:

  • 27,000+ Imperial Officers
  • 774,000+ Crew (Imperial Troopers, Imperial Pilots and officials)
  • 400,000+ Support Workers
  • 25,000+ Imperial Stormtroopers
  • 7,200+ Tie Fighters
  • 2,500+ Ion Cannons

Surface protection for the Death Star Space Station included:

  • 10,000+ Turbolaser Batteries
  • 2,500+ Ion Cannons
  • 700+ Tractor Beam Projectors
  • One Superlaser

     A multitude of Assault Shuttles, Skipray Blastboats, Strike Cruisers, Drop Ships, land vehicles, and support ships. Death Star I was featured in Star Wars, A New Hope, Episode IV when it obliterated planet Alderaan, home of Princess Leia Organa. After the death of Uncle Owen Lars and Aunt Beru Lars on planet Tatooine, a young Luke Skywalker decides to join Jedi Knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi in his quest to return R2-D2 (Astromech Droid) to Princess Leia. The stolen plans to the Death Star are stored inside the Droid. 

     After blasting off from planet Tatooine, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker mistake the station for a small moon while following a lone Tie Fighter.  Obi-Wan Kenobi mentions that the Tie Fighter is out in deep space as Han mentions that it could have been part of a larger convoy. Caught in a tractor beam, they land on the Death Star and after hiding in compartments that were once used for smuggling contraband on the Falcon, Han and Luke start on an adventure in the Space Station with Chewbacca and Obi-Wan which includes rescuing Princess Leia.

     Obi-Wan deactivates the tractor beam and meets his demise at the hands of Darth Vader. Luke, Leia, Han, Chewbacca and the two Droids: C-3PO and R2-D2 escape. The plans are safely delivered to the Rebel Forces on the fourth moon of the planet, Yavin. During the Battle of Yavin,  Luke Skywalker pilots an X-wing Starfighter through a trench on the surface of the Death Star. With Darth Vader in hot pursuit, he launches a pair of proton torpedoes down a thermal exhaust port that leads directly to the reactor core. This causes a chain reaction which destroys the battle station.        

 

Death Star II

     With the destruction of the first Death Star with its critical flaw, the two meter exhaust vents, the second Death Star incorporated millions of millimeter wide tubes with the design to seal off if excess energy was detected. It had far more turbolaser batteries and new redesigned targeting systems which allowed them to target enemy ships easily. Emperor Palpatine's throne tower was where the greatest concentration of turbolasers were located.

     Bothan spies stole the plans to the second Death Star as everyone was led to believe for the Emperor orchestarated these events.  General Crix Madine and Admiral Ackbar create a plan to attack it. A Strike Team led by Han Solo lands on the forest moon of Endor, the mission is simple, destroy its shield generator. General Lando Calrissian is to lead a group of fighters into the center of the Death Star in order to destroy its core reactor.

     The mission is slowed down for Han's Strike Team is captured by the Imperial Army. The tables are turned in the Battle of Endor by the local tribe of Ewoks who aid Han's team. Calrissian is able to lead his attack successfully for the Space Station is destroyed.

Prototypes


One can see clearly that there are even variations that exist of prototypes.


Note that the Death Star is clearly different than that of the above image. This one is cloudly.


     Prototypes are highly sought out by collectors of Star Wars action figures on a global basis. It is nice for one to have a version whether fully assembled or in pieces as seen above for a collection.
