Death Star: I believe it WAS mentioned in the movie; when the DS is preparing to destroy Yavin (and the rebel base), a technician announces "The Death Star has cleared the planet-- The Death Star has cleared the planet..." Vader replies, "You may fire when ready." (added that for effect) "commence primary ignition..." Most definitely correct about "The Death Star has..." (I saw SW last night), but it was Tarkin, not Vader who stated "You may fire when ready". I believe the term "Death Star" was also used earlier when stating that "The Death Star will be in range in xx minutes". --vaf
