So, this was something that required a great amount of skill and a little bit of luck to pull off. The Rebels' attack would have been doomed had it not been for Luke Skywalker using the Force to guide a proton torpedo down the exhaust port. It wasn't until 2016's Rogue One when an official, in-canon explanation was given: Galen Erso sabotaged the Death Star during its development.Įven with Galen's assist, blowing up the Death Star wasn't an easy task. For years, it was perceived as a sign of the Empire's hubris, illustrating they underestimated any who dared oppose them. Audiences had a hard time believing the well-resourced Empire would let such an obvious design flaw (a thermal exhaust port right below the main port) slip past them.

Star Wars confirms Darth Vader knew how to destroy the Death Star before Rogue One.
