[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

Hell... The whole Star Wars sequel trilogy probably could've went this direction.

[@dutch3971]

Well the original plan for the death star was to make a giant star destroyer around it that launches more star destroyers like fighters.

[@FerunaLutelou]

In Legends these things were way scarier than this. They were as durable as tanks and as mobile as a Mandalorian. Their weapons were also just as overpowered, being able to take out a tank in a few shots.

[@batcat4136]

Yeah. There have been many arguments about better ways to use the resources that were ultimately used to build the Deathstars. Instead of using the resources to build shit loads, more star destroyers would've been more useful. You could've still effectively destroyed Alderaan just by glassing it from orbit, though it would've been a lot more time consuming and a lot less spectacular. I think a big point of the death star was as a fear symbol. To show the galaxy that the Empire truly held absolute power, and if you, against all odds, rose up and managed to liberate your planet they could just wipe out all of you. Making a second one after the first one went tits up tough was a bad call.

Just because Luke cut through them like a knife through butter doesn’t mean they aren’t a menacing threat. Luke is on a whole other level from any character shown in the series thus far. Din Djarin, an experienced and skilled fighter, struggled hard against just one of them. If Luke had not shown up then Gideon’s statement would have been true - they all would have been eliminated. If somehow plot armor spared Din and maybe one other, there still would have been fatalities. It’s possible Din wielding the Dark Saber could be in their favor but there’s no guarantee. Plus if Gideon threatened the child this could leave him exposed. Can’t sleep on these guys. Can’t rule out that they won’t return either.

Since Disney got the rights for star wars and all the expanded universe is non-cannon we've seen characters such as Thrawn having a big role in Rebels, even mentioned in the Mandalorian. More recently we've seen the Dark Troopers. With a bunch of projects announced, curious if other characters might make an appearance such as Mara Jade or Kyle Katarn.
