Q&A: How does the High Command of the Imperial Forces in Star Wars keep the staff happy on the Death Star?

I could not help but wonder about the fact there appears to be no women, sporting activities, shopping facilities or movie theatres on board. A workforce comprised entirely of men, clone warriors and robots would start to drive anyone crazy. Also the Death Star appears to be extremely isolated in space so that a short R&R trip to a planet seems out of the question.

In some of the books they have workout and leisure rooms and get leave time and stuff.

But by movie standards they were just trying to make it look grim and evil. They all work hard because they know what will happen to them if they don’t.

The Empire pays extremely well. Also you have to remember many of the Troopers on the orginal Death Star were the Clones it wasn’t until after did the Empire start open recruiting.

Not sure about the Death Star I, but in the Death Star II:
* Ewoks Hunting trips to the moon of Endor ?
* Ewok BBQ parties?
* Computer games / entertaiment?

Also, Senior staff would be delighthed with the arrival of Darth Vader as Death Star II Project Manager, many promotion opportunities will be available due to Force Choking to officers in upper management.

They have a swimming pool aboard. It’s labeled “trash compactor” to fool Palpatine. Plus, I would suppose they have a lot of betting games and gambling aboard. And they got computers out the wazoo–who’s up for a game of solitaire, minesweeper, or king’s hearts?

They’re happy to be alive (otherwise Darth Vader would choke them with his mind powers)…as for the clones, they’re ..well, just clones. No emotions and therefore no need for past times

There is a novel titled ‘Death Star” and it is about several relatively unattatched people along with a few smaller part characters from Episode 4, pleaced in the time right as the Death Star was being completed, up til it explodes in Episode 4.

One of the characters is one of the designers, and in her parts of the book it talks about indoor parks, lounge areas, I believe sports areas, and all the characters frequent a bar on one particular level, that one of the characters runs.

So, yes, they have stuff to do, though I would still imagine people getting chlostrophobic over time…if they had had time before it was blown up.

As “Seth” says … if you want to see a little glimpse into life on the Death Star then read the book titled “Death Star” … there is plenty on board to keep the “grunts” happy … think the cantina on Tatoonie … then realize there are 100s of them all over the Death Star … life was good when you lived on the Death Star if you didn’t have a conscience … of course it kind of sucked when they blew it up.

It would have been a waste of time to put stuff like this in any of the movies but all the stuff you mention … IE: women, sporting activities, shopping facilities, movie theaters … it was all there and then some. Also, it’s becoming a more and more common misconception but the truth is there were not many Clones on board the DS … hell there wasn’t even very many still in service to the Empire. The clones had a max life span of 25 – 30 years, hardwired into their DNA, so by the time of the DS there weren’t many left.

May The Force Be With You …
