so if Lucas told TLG that in order to fill the Star Wars licence they
had to build a minifig scale Death Star they would do it, right?

That would be taller than the tallest building on the West Coast,
and would cost into the billions of dollars, if it was a full model.
Given the large size, a partial model would probably be more
appropriate (i.e. it would be the shell of a sphere and only have
enough internal stuff for a few shots here and there), yet still
cost several million dollars.  The difficulty would be in getting
past city ordinances to build something that large.

And the directions would have to be on several cd-roms, since printing that
much paper would deforest several hundred acres of land.

There might even be fierce fighting on getting that Death Star Building
Plan.
