they would've at least had plans and mention of it during episode 6. Darth Vader never told luke skywalker that "join me and together we can destroy the planets with the death star as father and son"".
The hell are you on about!?!? The Death Star from the beginning was a weapon of fear to keep the systems in line so they could just dissolve the senate. It wasn't created to destroy a list of planets. They only needed to demonstrate it's destructive power once to test it then the second time to destroy the rebel base. After that they would have all the fear they needed to keep their power and they would set out to rule the planets from that fear.
They actually used it twice, once on Despayre, the second time on Alderaan, if you count the EU (the expanded universe) as being canon.... Let's not get into canon debates now, however. My point is, what the hell/heck does dissolving the senate and beauracy have anything to do with using the death star???

I watched that video and I'm still very confused. Was the death star built as a tool against the rebels?? If the rebel alliance had never existed, would the death star still have been built and used on alderaan and despayre???
Use the death star to rule the galaxy?? What?? I don't get it.... Fear was used to keep the rebels in line, not the people.....No rebels, no death stars, rebels are not good guys, they provoked the war and the destruction of planets.
"No star system will dare oppose the emperor now"
When you have an Evil Empire, there will always be a dissenting group of Rebels opposing it. Especially in a fantasy world.
Ultimately it makes very little sense to debate whether the Death Star would exist if there were no Rebels, because if there were no Rebels there would be no movie because the whole premise of Star Wars is the oppressed people rising up and overthrowing their corrupt and evil government and if that didn't exist, neither would Star Wars.
Umm, star wars is a space opera/science fiction/sci fi story, NOT a fantasy story.......
Second of all, yes, with evil people, you'll have people opposing them........
As for the last paragraph, umm, you said, without the rebels, there would be no star wars and therefore you wouldn't be asking that question....... Yes, that's true, but you're just cut me off at whatever i'm saying, meaning you don't even give any time to consider my question, you just blow it off and assume that it's is wrong and not even a question in the first place.
But please, answer what I said about that, it's a very important and relevant question. I don't ask what if scenarios, and hypotheticals usually, they're stupid, but not when it pertains to the storyline.......
