The funny thing is that Star Trek scales are so much more realistic than SW
scales, since SW totally wipes out all plausibility when it comes to capital
ships... And the Death Star? That was funny. The floorspace in the Death
Star was roughly equal to the surface of the Earth. And when you take into
account that 2/3 of the Earth's surface is water? And how about the
'supposed' crew compliment of the Death Star? Isn't it something like a
million (actually a bit short of a million?) So assuming an even
distribution, in a *good* week, maybe you'd see 1 other person while
performing stormtrooperal duties :)
But of course SW DOES have the benefit of using lots of fighter class ships
in space and a slew of ground vehicles as well... In the Trek world, there's
few fighters, and ground vehicles are nearly useless-- why drive around when
you can beam there?
