It never made any sense to be that the Death Star would be built vertically like a building w/ the north pole on top. The thing is the size of a small moon. It should be a spherical design w/ the stuff needing access to space (hangers & garbage mashers) on the outer edge and the important stuff (reactor, Emperor’s chamber) increasingly closer to the core.
This map makes the space station even more senseless.
They are all stylized and artistic. That’s cool, but I thought you meant real ones. (Yes, yes, I see the absurdity in my comment.) Kevin is right, the maps make no sense, especially since we know from ROTJ that in the second Death Star at least, the throne room was near the core.
The Emperor’s throne room was in a tall tower jutting up from the surface of the Death Star, as seen in a couple exterior establishing shots.
Isn’t that AOTC? The not-yet-emperor is held in a tower room off of the early star destroyer? Admittedly I’ve not seen ROTJ in a while, and Lucas might not have nailed down all the details—shocking, true—but from the novelization, “Vader stumbled with his load to the middle of the bridge over the black chasm leading to the power core. He held the wailing despot high over his head…”
Also, isn’t this more maps for geeks, not nerds? I came back to grab this link for a post on geek vs nerd but admit that I am clearly the type of woman Shaidle complained about today. Now this whole throne room thing will pester me until I catch ROTJ again.
