Star Wars Theory Series is hosted by PureFandom.com co-founder Liz Prugh and her brother Patrick Pochop (talking about Star Wars is one of the only ways she can get him to hang out with her). They frequently have their other two brothers, dad, and Liz’s husband and self-proclaimed Star Wars experts as guest hosts. They’re dedicated to putting a fun and comedic spin on each episode. New episodes are posted on Fridays, where they break down a new theory and news about the film franchise.

This week is our 20th episode! To celebrate, we feature special guest Michael Welling, a fellow Star Wars-enthusiast. He and his friends had a few beers one night and decided to break down the math behind the Death Star: How big would the weapon be in real life? Who could live on it? How many levels did it have? We dive into the uber-nerdiness of the making of a real Death Star, plus of course talk all things Star Wars.

Tune in for Death Star details:

-How big the Death Star would be in real life;
-Jobs that someone would have working on the Death Star;
-Why the Death Star would actually hold a larger population than Earth;
-How fast the Death Star could go, and if the technology could potentially exist in real life;
-and more!
