The way I see it there's a bunch of Stormtroopers shovelling Ewoks into a furnace somewhere inside the Death Star...LRT said:
They're evil intergalactic space bastards - when it comes to burning stuff, it's cute cuddly teddy bears over coal any day
OT: Newton's Laws still apply - balanced forces, conservation of energy. In theory, one man giving it a push would set it going.
Space dragons, muthafucka.
They exist in Star Wars y'know. [sub]You think I'm shitting you? Check Wookieepedia.[/sub]

They strap some poor bastard's feet to bicycle pedals that are wired to the 5 HP propeller engine and tell him to get on with it.
Also, it's in orbit around a planet. It can just shoot anything from where it is I presume.
They do call it a weapon all the time, and not a ship (unless I'm mistaken).
EDIT: Wikipedia says it's a space station, so it wouldn't need to move.
Oh, I have a question though:
If the RotJ is maybe a year after Empire (if that), then how has the second Death Star been half built by then already?
The first was only a skeleton at the end of Ep. 3, and 20 or so years later in TFU it's still not fully finished. And the second was supposedly much bigger too!

But it has gone between systems?!Radeonx said:
Let's just call it a convenience plot point and move on, shall we?
