While partial schematics surely existed elsewhere, it would seem that the whole project (and other projects) was kept only on heavily-protected Scarif, to keep anyone from knowing too much (or being able to easily run off with the plans). For example, Galen probably had the plans for kyber crystal stuff, but not the arrangement of exhaust ports. | |

| Dec 24, 2016 at 4:16 | comment | added | Lorendiac | My impression, watching the movie, was that the main problem from the Imperial point of view was that they didn't want the Rebels to have detailed knowledge of the Death Star, including any hidden weaknesses waiting to be exploited. I never got the feeling that Tarkin was thinking: "Gosh, if they steal that one data-storage device, it would take forever for us to build additional Death Stars -- because there are no backup files anywhere in the Galaxy!" ;) | |
| Dec 24, 2016 at 0:45 | comment | added | Wildcard | That quote from "Tarkin" is either quite badly written prose (completely unclear) or, to be charitable, I can presume it's just bad when taken out of context. "Considered to be that person"? Passive voice and weasel words; doesn't appear to actually mean anything. "What bothered him was..." what, exactly? I suppose it's "that...no single person was in charge of the project," but the structure of that sentence is just bizarre. | |
