Earlier back on the Wishlist thread there was some discussion about the original Death Star explosion.

I have a nostalgic attachment to it but I can see how it could be made to feel more like a small moon being ripped apart by an internal explosion rather than a disco ball full of glitter being popped by a firework in slow motion.

This otherwise silly and spoilerific ROTJ poster :

shows the Death Star shattering.

It might work to see larger chunks being thrown away by the explosion than the microfragments we see in the original and SE versions.

I'm thinking that chain of explosions from "Sim Wars".
