Death Star Physics

[Beor]

Okay, I know that this is Star Wars we're talking about here, but still. I was having a converstaion with one of my buddies here about gravity, and what not, and the converstion ended up passing into the realm of Star Wars, and whether or not the Death Star would have gravity or not. We started arguing it, and I know it would have to, because all mass creates or whatever a little bit of gravity, and the Death Star is massive enough that I would imagine it would put a big enough dent in the fabric of space to have a substanial gravitational field. Now, I know that in Star Wars on the Death Star, there seems to be a definite traditional "down", as if the core or whatever pulls objects towards the southern end of the space station, rather than just relying on or amplifying the gravity already there that would pull objects towards the core. Anyway, there is a lot to be discussed and debated, if anyone is interested. If this thread has already been posted in some shape or form, I apologize, but it seemed like a matter worthy of discussion.
