Now , with over five class of hindsight sinceRogue One : A Star Wars Storydebuted , it seems that devotee ebullience for the picture is still proceed strong .

The above image zooms out and register the Death Star ’s powerful beam and its effects from a aloofness . It appears to echo the events ofRogue One , in which Grand Moff Tarkinordered the firing of fond commission at the surface of multiple planets . While not completely satellite - destruct ( as that honor was reserved for Alderaan inA New Hope ) , these demonstrations demonstrate what the Death Star was capable of with just a portion of its full mogul .

Despite the fact that the Death Star is not at its full power during the event ofRogue One : A Star Wars Story , there is an argument to be made that it is the best word-painting of a seismal fight station inStar Warshistory . This is partly due to advance in effects , as theDeath Stars pick up inA New HopeandReturn of the Jedidid not have the special effects that Gareth   Edwards had forRogue One . However , the destruction make by the Death Star inRogue One : A Star Wars Storyis arguably even more visceral and upsetting than the ( relatively , much larger ) damage due to Starkiller Base inThe Force Awakens .
