While the 1999+ ball joints would allow for lots of posability, I think the click/twist hinges used in the Super Battle Droid would make for better results. You’d probably have to look into getting the 1x2 bricks with the plus-shaped holes in the middle to attach them with, assuming you’d still want to go with largely brickbuilt construction.

Unicron/Death Star shouldn’t be too hard on you if you work in a small scale, like maybe an 8” diameter sphere. If you really want to go all-out with it, you could even build the Minicon ring (Technic pieces should work fine for this) and attach all of the SW mini vehicles to it. And maybe a few SW minifigs, just for yucks.
