I don’t know what you mean by screen cluttering. That’s not what I was talking about. I was arguing that you could write the script and plot in such a way that you don’t need to even have the Death Star in the movie, and yet the movie could still be about the Death Star. It could even be easily conveyed as a very scary, existential threat to the Alliance and freedom-lovers all over the galaxy, without even being shown one time on screen. But that’s obviously not the creative choice that was made. Although I wish it had been.
