The wiki page for starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Starkiller_Base says it's 660 km wide—tiny for a planet, but curiously the same size as starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ilum... I looked it up and the Star Wars fandom wiki told me it was 830 km. Also it's technically a dwarf planet.
Secretly constructed in orbit around the remote forest moon of Endor, the Death Star II was larger than its 160-kilometer-wide predecessor and was constructed using more efficient methods.
How big is Starkiller Base compared to Death Star 2?
The surface area of Starkiller Base, using Wookieepedia's diameter measurement, is about 528,102 square miles. The first Death Star's surface area would be about 30,791 square miles; Death Star II would be 48,305 square miles. So in that contest, Starkiller Base blows up Texas.
Using Newton's laws of universal gravity, the mass must be approximately 1.6 × 1022 kg. Thus the density of the Starkiller Base planet is roughly 106,338 kg/m3. This is just under 5 times the density of osmium, the densest naturally occurring element known to humans, and over 13 times the density of steel.
Even if one were to look only at the portion of the planet that is used as a base of operations, Starkiller Base is still said to be roughly two times larger than the Death Star at a minimum. Rather than wiping out a single planet, this bulky but slow superweapon was capable of destroying whole star systems.
In short, don't count on it happening anytime soon: The actual size of the Death Star, according to their estimations, is close to 120 to 160 kilometers in diameter, and would cost the equivalent of 18 quadrillion dollars to build.
He is pretty powerful, definitely up at an A tier level of ability. He has faced quite a few potent Jedi masters. If memory serves, the most powerful person he beat outright was Shaak Ti. He did technically beat Vader, but he used lightning and then damaged his suit with a hurled piece of debris that exploded.
He displayed incredible control of the Force, from moving a Star Destroyer to defeating both Vader and Palpatine in succession. Galen Marek seemed to be not only one of the strongest Sith Lords, but one of the most powerful Force-users in all of Star Wars.
Reintroducing Starkiller into Star Wars canon would require significant changes to his story, particularly his role in the formation of the Rebel Alliance. However, the compelling nature of the character and the talent of actor Sam Witwer make it a worthwhile endeavor.
How many planets can Starkiller Base destroy at once?
The first Death Star only managed to destroy Alderaan before the Rebellion took it down, and the Second Death Star didn't get the chance to destroy any planets. However, Starkiller Base was able to destroy five whole planets in the Hosnian system—including Hosnian Prime.
But what made the Death Star particularly menacing was its ability to travel through hyperspace. Not only was it equipped with destructive armaments, it could pursue its prey with those armaments.
Out of the 2 billion inhabitants on Alderaan - with the modern-day populations of China and India having about 2.8 billion people combined - about 60,000 survived the destruction of the planet due to being outside of its star system at the time.
What is the number 1 biggest star in the universe?
1. UY Scuti. UY Scuti is the largest star in the Universe observed so far. The red supergiant is 1,708 times wider than our Sun, with a radius of 1.2 billion km (738 million miles).
It is also outright stated that Sidious was feigning weakness to goad Starkiller into striking him down and to turn him to the Dark Side. He didn't beat Sidious. He even went oneness and then died to Sidious.
In Star Wars Legends and Canon, Galen Marek (Starkiller) is the only Jedi (other than Obi-Wan Kenobi) to put a beat down on Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker. Galen was secretly trained as a Sith Lord apprentice to Vader, but returned to the light side and the Jedi.
Starkiller shot Force Lightning at him and ended the fight as he threw his lightsaber at him, splitting Kylo Ren into two and launched his remains out of the base.
In the last moments of his short existence, Starkiller saw that his killer's face was exactly like his own; it was another clone of Galen Marek—a "reborn Starkiller," deeply absorbed in the dark side and much more powerful.
Scientists uncover the secret to building Star Wars-style laser weapons — but don't worry, we won't have a Death Star anytime soon. Today's infrared lasers are only powerful enough to disable aerial targets, but scientists now have the keys to building high-powered laser weaponry that can 'melt' distant targets.
The Death Star would require roughly a million billion times more power to blow up a planet, she said in the video. "In producing all that energy, you would produce a lot of heat — like enough heat to melt the Death Star," Burks said.
