The Star Wars universe has been given a touch of reality by energy experts who appraise the Death Star planet destroyer would require “30 trillion times all the money on earth” to keep running for one day.

Prior to the most recent film Star Wars series, a UK energy company has utilized the assistance of three universities and Star Wars devotees to compute the operating bill for fuelling the Galactic Empire’s monstrous killer machine.



As per the OVO Energy, considering the moon-sized space station’s mammoth laser, hyper speed abilities, full-sized army and everyday household duties, the Dark Side of the Force can hope to pay a stellar £6.2 (US$7.8) octillion every day.

While the inconceivable expense hasn’t been ascertained into Galactic Credit Standard space cash, Stephen Skolnick from the American Physics Society has broken down the cost of firing the Death Star’s super-laser.

Skolnick trusts that to wreck a planet, Darth Vader and his cohorts would require lots of money (£4.166667E+24) along with a charger producing energy 3 million times that of the sun.

He said that supposing Alderaan, a planet demolished in the film ‘A New Hope,’ has a mass similar to Earth, the star destroyer would require 10³² joules of energy behind it.



As indicated by the book, the Science of Star Wars, that is around “two hundred sextillion times the energy of an average lightning jolt”.

Simply keeping the lights on across over 257 sub-levels of the deep space station would likewise require an astronomical haul of lights that is, fact, 91, 547, 745 and 149 to be correct.

What’s more, accepting that the space giant works with over 2 million crew, the energy calculation of a dinner would amount to a cost of £79,309.25, lunch for £118, 963.75 and £16,500 on tea.

Furthermore, keeping stormtroopers and imperial guards in crisp uniforms would cost nearly £200,000.



Utilizing waste statistics from the UK Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, OVO Energy express that the garbage compactor (the contracting chamber loaded with junk and water creatures which almost pounded Princess Leia, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Chewbacca) would see 2,341 (majestic) huge amounts of garbage every day at an august expense of £456,495.

Strikingly, Alexander Barnett, the applied arithmetic professor at Dartmouth University has focused in on the absence of Death Star recoil in the Star Wars franchise.

He gauges that once the weapon of war fires one shot it would fly in reverse at “3% of the speed of light”.

He further stated;

“I didn’t notice any movement in the film, but maybe it shoots another beam behind it to balance itself out that we just don’t see.”
